Texas officials say terrorists are sneaking across the US border.
They point to one case where Al-Qaeda member Ahmed Muhammad Dhakane confessed in court that he had smuggled 7 terrorist members into the US.
KRGV reported:
Texas Department of Public Safety chief Steve McCraw testified before lawmakers in Washington on Wednesday.
He says the majority of people from terrorist sponsored countries are getting into the U.S. along the Texas border.
He pointed to Ahmed Muhammad Dhakane as one of those terrorists.
He asked for asylum at an international crossing in Brownsville in 2008. Halfway through the request, Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents took a closer look at him. They say he was an Al Qaeda terrorist and human smuggler. Dhakane admits to smuggling seven members of Al Qaeda into the U.S.
He’s been sentenced to 10 years behind bars for lying on his asylum application.
But, according to Barack Obama, the border is safe… He’s even cracking jokes about it.
