Judicial Watch has reported that in Luna County, New Mexico, the Deming-area, police “have apprehended an undocumented, Middle Eastern woman in possession of the region’s gas pipeline plans… Authorities describe the woman as an “Islamic refugee” pulled over during a traffic stop by a deputy sheriff…” According to the story, “the gas pipeline plans in the woman’s possession include the Deming region…”
If the story is true, and I say “if” because while Judicial Watch has enjoyed a solid reputation over the years, some of their border related stories have never appeared to be corroborated, if the story is true one would be reasonably alarmed at why this “refugee” was in possession of gas pipeline maps.
The automatic inference for most would be that such points to some plan to do something to those pipelines. But, you also have to recognize that if the person is not an English speaker, she could have just had a map she picked up in the area without knowing what it was. She might have even thought it a road map for travel. Such is speculation but so is the other side which suspects bad intent.
Breitbart Texas has recently reported on the Pakistani man who entered the U.S. illegally carrying both Chilean and Ecuadorian papers but was dumb enough to tell authorities he’d never been to those countries. Is he just one of the millions seeking to leave strife and poverty and get into the U.S. through any means or, were his plans nefarious?
We don’t know, and that is the problem with the border.
Put all the emotional propaganda aside and the fact remains that without a relatively secure border where all crossers are subject to investigation and the law, we simply have no way of knowing who is coming here and for what purpose. Even with inspection we may be fooled but with no inspection, we never have a chance.
Emotion aside, an unsecured border is dangerous.
