Venezuela Is Terrorist Destination, Can They Get In To America Via Mexico?

In case anyone hasn’t noticed, Iran flies daily into Venezuela now and according to reports Venezuela does very little to verify the passengers identities who are flying in to Venezuela. Once in Venezuela it is an easy drive through Central America and into Mexico where these potential Iranian sponsored terrorist can then sneak into the United States undetected nd wreck potential havoc through terrorist activities.

We have focused so long on Iraq and Afghanistan that we are forgetting that one of the easiest places to miss a problem is right under our own noses and if we do not think that the number one sponsor of state terrorism will not exploit our open Mexican border then we are really fooling ourselves and we may pay a bigger price than we did on 9/11. It’s time we start to understand that not only is the economy globalized but so is extremism and now that Iran is flying daily into Venezuela we better understand that terrorists can now fly over undetected and be simply a car ride and a run away. Sure the government is fighting terrorism over in the Middle East but if we do not stop the porous openings on our Mexican border what will al the fighting in the Middle East accomplish? What good is it for us to spend billions overseas and then have the terrorists walk right in from Mexico via Venezuela? Americans better wake up and get an understanding of the issue Venezuela presents.

Remember, Venezuela president Hugo Chavez hates America as much as any Middle East extremist and he would most likely allow terrorists to go right though his airports and up through Latin America to get them into America where they can strike at American concerns. Among one of the most recent passengers to travel to Venezuela was a suspect in the plot to bomb New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport so if you don’t think this occurring you better think again. Remember that Venezuelan citizenship, identity, and travel documents are easy to obtain, and with the idealism of Chavez along with the lax airport checking, Venezuela is quickly becoming a terrorists destination. Will America do something or will they wait for the mushroom cloud that leads back from terrorists who will be found to have come into America via Mexico after arriving in Venezuela.
