Congressman Culberson Trying To Erupt More Mexico Border Furor

Is it me, or does this seem like déjà vu:

A warning from some Texas congressmen: Middle Eastern terrorists may be trying to pose as Mexican immigrants.

Thank you, John Culberson, for yelling “fire” in a crowded theater (in concert with Congressman Mike McCaul).

However, Houston’s KHOU is hot on the trail and doing some mythbusting of their own on Cumberson’s contention:

Texas politicians saying the border needed protection, not just to stop undocumented workers, but terrorists.

A month before the election, Mike McCaul, a congressman from a district northwest of Houston, released a report.

It said that just this summer, seven Iraqis were caught in Brownsville and that the Border Patrol found a jacket with a military patch written in Arabic.

The report said they were examples of “ominous threats to national security.”

It was big news in the Valley.

What’s more, the Web site of Houston Congressman John Culberson says Islamic terrorists are learning Spanish.

He talked to 11 News from Washington.

“The FBI director has confirmed that there’s Middle Easterners with known al-Qaida connections assuming false Hispanic identities entering the United States illegally and disappearing,” he said.

11 News looked into what the congressmen are saying and found some of it did check out. But some of the assertions seemed dubious if not downright offensive to some Muslim Americans

It’s no surprise that the assertations seem dubious, because they are. If you listen to McCaul and Culberson, one would think Al Queda terrorists are camping out in Nuevo Laredo learning Spanish at the local high school.

It also goes to show that, even after an election, Congressmen like Culberson and McCaul have continued to drink their own Kook-Aide and are now doing their very best to get everyone else to drink it too.
