ISIS fighter affirms terrorists pour into U.S. near El Paso

Nothing new ...

Evidence pointing to El Paso as a bridge for terrorism to enter the U.S. has been mounting for years.

“Two years ago, Judicial Watch exposed a plot involving Mexican drug traffickers that help Islamic terrorists stationed in Mexico cross into the U.S. to explore targets for future attacks,” the watchdog group recounted. “Among the jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir – an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, not far from El Paso. Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen and at the time, [he] lived in Mexico for more than a year, according to information provided to Judicial Watch by high-ranking Homeland Security officials. Khabir trains thousands of men –mostly Syrians and Yemenis – to fight in an ISIS base situated in the Mexico-U.S. border region near Ciudad Juárez, the intelligence gathered by Judicial Watch’s sources reveals.”

That year – in 2017 – a warning was issued by state officials that “the current terrorism threat to Texas has elevated,” noting its discovery of a number of ISIS camps located just south of the Rio Grande River.

The Italian government has passed new controversial measures to curb immigration.

The so-called security decree, promoted by Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, envisages fines of up to €50,000 for ships that "ignore bans and limitations" on accessing Italian waters, and the seizure of ships that ignore orders more than once.

Although the legislative text passed on Tuesday doesn't specifically mention activities carried out by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Salvini's aim is to clamp down on migrant rescues in the Mediterranean, which he says ultimately help human traffickers illegally get people into Europe.

It's a smart way to do it. It's how the Left does things.

Impose a regulation with a particular aim, and then add fines to protect that regulation, without ever formally putting the issue into the regulation.

Italy isn't there yet. The 5 star movement is dysfunctional and contains leftist elements that are quite open to illegal migration. But it's a good approach.

We need to start thinking about various solutions for breaking the transportation system funneling illegal aliens into America.

Italy has had enough. They have every right to do this. We should think about our country and its right to do similar things to prevent illegal immigration.

The UK is an ugly place, and it is getting uglier.

Kim Leadbeater, whose sister was murdered in her Batley and Spen constituency by extreme right-wing terrorist Thomas Mair on 16 June 2016, said the “language of politics has become even more brutal and toxic”.

Speaking on the eve of the third anniversary of the Labour MP's death, Ms Leadbeater said: “Personal insults and vicious verbal abuse are in danger of been normalised.

“Candidates, MPs and others in public life are subject to intimidation and physical attacks so regularly it has almost become commonplace.

“I worry that we have learnt nothing from what happened to Jo, and I would hate any other family to have to go through what we have been through, and continue to go through, every day.”

It'll start to sink in I think when Jeb takes his first oath of office. But the Democrats might not fully realize their blunder until Jeb is reelected.
(At least, I hope the Republicans nominate Jeb. But same thing no matter which Republican it is.)

So Italy passes a law to fine people who rescue people at sea. And you want that the USA does the same.
Fine person you are!

Criminalising search and rescue operations at sea seems to be a bit ... well, what can you expect from a certain breed of persons?
