Report: 8 Syrians caught at Texas border

[Nightshade]

Two federal agents operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are claiming that eight Syrian illegal aliens attempted to enter Texas from Mexico in the Laredo Sector. The federal agents spoke with Breitbart Texas on the condition of anonymity, however, a local president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) confirmed that Laredo Border Patrol agents have been officially contacting the organization with concerns over reports from other federal agents about Syrians illegally entering the country in the Laredo Sector. The reports have caused a stir among the sector’s Border Patrol agents.

The sources claimed that eight Syrians were apprehended on Monday, November 16, 2015. According to the sources, the Syrians were in two separate “family units” and were apprehended at the Juarez Lincoln Bridge in Laredo, Texas, also known officially as Port of Entry 1.

Breitbart had a reputation for making up more stories than Aesop; self-aggrandizement and grandiose, incoherent proclamations. He was particularly fond of using misleading information to denigrate his political opponents. He also got his start by riding the coattails of The Drudge Report.

The moment anyone takes Brietbart seriously is the day when anything they claim should be disregarded out-of-hand.

And NBC news has not been caught making up news? Or CNN has not presented news in a false manner? So everything they report is suspect? I think you should re-evaluate what you posted as Breitbart died over 3 years ago

bogus story, bogus source.

[woodchip]

And we're supposed to take your word it is bogus?

no we merely have to see the name 'Brietbart' and yours as the poster. We've been to that movie plenty of times, thanks.

"caught," "apprehended," or "presented themselves?"

Seems like an important distinction that should be sought.

whether or not this specific story is true, here's an important point:

These aren't people going through the refugee process. They might be using "I'm a refugee" as a cover story, but they're basically following the illegal immigration approach -- go to somewhere in Latin America and then try to sneak across the southern US border. The immigrants Obama has talked about resettling are going through a much more difficult process -- "There are many ways to come to the United States. Comparatively the refugee resettlement program is the most difficult short of swimming the Atlantic." Even the definitely-not-left-wing Cato Institute agrees that Syrian refugees don't pose a security threat. Nobody is going to go live in a refugee camp for 2 years so they can sneak into the US and make a terror strike; there are much easier ways to sneak into the US, or to recruit US citizens for terror plots.

Is that like seeing the letters NBC and your name. Lord knows I've corrected your vaporous posts enough times. The problem you have is, if you can't prove someone is wrong, you label them a liar. Typical leftist tactic. If you want to play that game, I can reciprocate. If you think you can make me quit posting here like you did Cuda and Will
, dream on.

Typical leftist tactic.

LOL this crazy obsession with "Leftists..."

If you think you can make me quit posting here like you did Cuda and Will, dream on.

If they quit, it wasn't because they weren't in good company. DescentBB is a haven for right-wingers and religious nuts. With the exception of Slick's contributions, nearly every new post in E&C is about some horrible Leftist conspiracy and the amount of bible quotes on this forum rivals the bible itself.

It's called "knowing the source". and you might want to relax -- your typing is getting messy.

Yup. It's a distinction that literally makes or breaks a story.
