Other Trinidadians, he said, were also being approached to "do the same thing."
The idea that Islamic terror groups are operating in Mexico and eyeing—and exploiting—the porous US-Mexico border is not a hypothetical; unfortunately, it appears to be a fact. At least 15—though likely many more—suspected terrorists have already been apprehended crossing the border since 2001. One suspected terrorist who crossed the border, an ISIS supporter, already launched a terrorist attack in Canada that nearly killed five people.
The only question left is how much more evidence, and how many more attacks—and with what greater severity—are needed before this problem is addressed?
