Terrorists Linked to Mexican Cartels U.S. "Soft Underbelly" Remains Open Lou Dobbs and Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- August 8     Dobbs: Stirring news tonight that our broken borders are potentially a terrorist threat. A DEA report, in fact, showing that radical Islamists in this country linking up with Mexican drug cartels, the very same cartels we reported on here earlier in this broadcast.....     Royce: But it shouldn't surprise us that much. We remember that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, as well as al-Zarqawi both talked about launching attacks on the soft underbelly of the United States by coming through our borders, our porous borders.     And given that reality, don't you think, Lou, it's time that this government asked why we haven't secured those borders? Don't you think it's time, when the Border Patrol tells us we have yet to secure our borders, why isn't that fence, that act, that fence security act that we passed in Congress, that we funded last year when the Republicans still had control, why is that not being built right now or being finished right now on that border?  Watch Ed Royce / Money for Mex.
