| Texas Gov. Perry: border-crossers with al-Qaida ties arrested |
| 2007-04-29 |
| Gov. Rick Perry told a Pittsburgh newspaper that some border-crossers with al-Qaida ties have been apprehended. "The information that we have is that there have been individuals who have crossed, and some that have been apprehended, that have ties back to the al-Qaida network," Perry told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Perry spokesman Ted Royer said Friday the comments were based on federal intelligence sources having "confirmed that al-Qaida and other terrorist networks view the Southern border as a prime point of entry," Royer said, with people from countries where al-Qaida has a known presence having been apprehended not just in Texas but all along the border. Perry has pushed for more state resources for border security, saying Texas must make up for insufficient federal action. |

| #7 The only part that bothers me is the "Rounding up" I suggest a sniper rifle that fires low-velocity, radio transmitters, snipe away at the border, track by radio, then round up as described above. |

| #6 I like it. W is liberal on immigration because he knows with an open border he can sucker the AQ to "come on in", follow them, then when Rove says the time is now (somewhere in October of 08) have them all rounded up right after the evening news where Rudi is speculating on a new coming attack. Somthing like that. |

| #5 Precisely, AT 1904. The MSM will humor Perry because it makes Bush appear asleep at the wheel. Later they'll turn on Perry, asking him to prove it which he can't, and show him to be just another 'racist scaremongering Rethuglican'. Their message? Vote Democrat. |

| #4 Perry has pushed for more state resources for border security Isn't he the same guy who was cutting himself into the HP3 immunization bonanza? Why do I suspect this is more about getting his share of a Big Pot of Money(TM) than it is about improving our security? |

| #2 Would this in any way be connected to Tenant's assertion that terror cells are in place and just awaiting attack orders ? Nah, couldn't be. |
