ISIS Militants Caught Trying To Cross Border Into Texas, Congressman Claims
Source: The NY Daily News
In an alarmist bombshell statement that intersects both Americas war on terror and its fight to secure the border with Mexico, Rep. Duncan Hunter said ISIS fighters have been caught attempting to cross into the U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter said Border Patrol agents have captured at least 10 ISIS fighters trying to enter the U.S. from Mexico. The California congressmans bombshell on Fox News Tuesday also claims more militants may already be here.
Hunter, a California Republican and former Marine major, told Fox News Channels Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday that Border Patrol agents have captured Islamic State in Iraq and Syria militants trying to get into Texas from Mexico. ISIS is coming across the southern border, said Hunter, whose district includes much of San Diego. They arent flying B-1 Bombers bombing American cities, but they are going to be bombing American cities coming across from Mexico.
At least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas, Hunter continued. Theres nobody taking about it. When Van Susteren pressed him for his source, the Congressman replied: Ive asked the Border Patrol. They caught them at the border, Hunter said. Therefore, we know ISIS is coming across the border. If they catch five or 10 of them you know there are going to be dozens more that did not get caught by the Border Patrol.

And another slap to his story is this.....If there were ISIS fighters, and they got captured, then our borders ARE protected, and the border agents DID do their jobs.... so President Obama is making it work.

You can thank -- I mean blame -- Reagan for kicking off this snowjob avalanche by killing the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.

During the old Air America days, his dad...Duncan SR...was referred to as 'Duck and Cover.' Not much has changed...

I know it would be too much to ask Republicans to stop lying in general, but the latter they should be held to account for.

It's so confusing...
