FBI warns of 'special interest' aliens
WASHINGTON -- FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress on Tuesday that people from countries with ties to al-Qaida have crossed into the United States from Mexico, using false identities.

"We are concerned, Homeland Security is concerned about special interest aliens entering the United States," Mueller said, using a term for people from countries where al-Qaida is known to be active.

Under persistent questioning from Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, Mueller said he was aware of one route that takes people to Brazil, where they assume false identities, and then to Mexico before crossing the U.S. border.

He also said that in some instances people with Middle Eastern names have adopted Hispanic last names before trying to get into the United States.

4. Fear! Fear! Fear! What are they distracting you away from?
I mean, every time they are in trouble, they bring out the boogieman.

Are they distracting you away from the Italian government's request of investigation re: Giulianna Sgrena? Or the draconian bankrupcy bill passed today?

Take your pick.

5. Arabs, Mexicans, whatever
They all look and talk the same.

<sarcasm off>

He also said that in some instances people with Middle Eastern names have adopted Hispanic last names before trying to get into the United States.

I don't know much about Texas, but if someone here in California told me his name was "Abdulaziz Gozalez" I'd be kind of suspicious.

:freak:

8. I guess none could enter
