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."

Listen

Tamar Jacoby and Dan Stein

Stein criticized INS Commissioner Ziglar for distorting the truth about the legal status of the terrorists.

GUESTS: Dan Stein of FAIR and Tamar Jacoby of the Manhattan Institute
STEIN: The length and degree of alien smuggling from all over the world through the Mexican border, the apparent complicity of the Mexican government is (behind the Justice Dept's silence)
JACOBY: I think we should have a system to let them [Mexicans] in legally and then eventually get on a ladder to become citizens....You can't seal the border.
