TERRORISTS COME ACROSS MEXICAN BORDER!!
Bill O'Reilly Blows Whistle Again

"I believe that the federal government knows that the Mexican is porous; it's a danger to the American people. And because they have refused to deal with this issue for more than a decade they are embarrassed, and that's why they are clamping down on these stories...."

BILL O'REILLY - 11/01/01
"The unresolved problem tonight, the porous and dangerous Mexican border. The Factor has been investigating the border for two years as you know, and listen to this. Hundreds of illegal immigrants from the Middle East were smuggled into the United States by an Iraqi named George Tijerian. He is currently serving 13 years on prison after pleading guilty to bringing in the Arabs from Mexico."

After weeks of blasting every goat barn in Afghanistan visible to high-altitude aircraft, the U.S. government is slowly beginning to realize that the people sending anthrax germs to assorted members and institutions of the American ruling class are not in Afghanistan at all but right here.
