Resolved Question: Meet Hector Lopez (The Terrorist Are Already Here)is Hector only here for a better life ?
Hector lives in a wooden shack on the outskirts of Juarez, Mexico,
four miles from the town of El Paso, Texas. He drives an old, blue and
rusty Chevrolet pick-up truck that looks like many other old blue and
rusty Chevrolet pick-up trucks in Mexico. You’ll see Hector wearing
faded blue jeans and a long sleeve blue work shirt. Both are dirty and
frayed. His straw hat was once white, but now a dark beige with
several sweat-stain hatband rings. Mr. Lopez is a small man, 5′6″ in
height and weighs 143 pounds. He walks with a slight limp, and holds
his hat in one hand when he bows shyly to say “Si Senor”. Hector, like
many Mexican men, has grown a mustache. We see lots of “Hectors”
these days, and we avert our eyes from them because they are, well,
poor.
One morning Hector drives to a desolate spot overlooking the Rio
Grande, River. He walks to the water’s edge and looks across the 70
foot wide stream, enters the river and dog-paddles across with the end
of a rope in his mouth. Standing on a Texas rancher’s soil, and with no
one in sight for miles, Hector pulls the rope which is wrapped-around a
55 gallon drum and easily pulls the floating barrel over to him. He
removes the lid and dumps a 3 foot tall, 88 pound metal object into the
sandy soil at his feet. Using his bare hands, Hector covers the object,
then swims back to the Mexican side of the river, pulling the empty
barrel back with him. He discards the empty drum in an old abandoned
tar paper plant junk yard, and drives to the Avenue of the Americas.
Hector shows the border guard his Matricula Consular ID card, speaks a
few words in Spanish to his fellow Mexican, and drives into the City of El
Paso. Hector eases the old Chevy up Airway Boulevard, turns East on
Montana, and after several miles, turns south on Ranch Road and down
to the Rio Grande, River. He stops hear the spot where he stood an
hour earlier, uncovers the object, and places it on the front passenger
seat of his truck. Hector proceeds to drive up Ranch Road, headed for
the United States Army Post of Fort Bliss.
The “object” Hector has next to him on the front seat is a 2 kiloton
Russian nuclear warhead, stolen (along with 2 others) by a former
Russian rocket-army colonel following the break-up of the Soviet Union.
This particular nuclear device was purchased for 50 million Saudi-Arabia
oil dollars, sent to Mexico by cargo freighter, and off-loaded to a barren
Mexican shoreline onboard a rubber Zodiac boat.
Hector’s real name is Mohammed Saad, a Jordanian born former
Fedayheen soldier who killed 67 Israeli’s in the Gaza over a period of 18
months. “Mohammed” earned his undergraduate degree in engineering
from Purdue University in Indiana. He speaks 4 languages fluently,
including Spanish, and learned and adopted the shy mannerisms of a
“peon”. He is a clever, bloodthirsty killer.
“Hector” (Mohammed) obtained his Matricula Consular card for twenty
five dollars and a forged Catholic Baptismal Certificate. He could use his
Consular card to get an American driver’s license in 16 states.
Hector “hung out” in Juarez for 3 weeks, observing, learning
mannerisms and “quirks” of the poor Mexican people while he awaited
the arrival of his bomb on a Cessna 172 single engine airplane that
delivered it on a dirt road close to his shack. The bomb was, like him,
offloaded from an Iberian registered freighter somewhere between
Texas and the Yucatan Penninsula.
Hector’s “contact” is an old friend named Bakari Salihan, who lives
extremely well and dresses impeccably as a commercial real-estate
developer in El Paso, Texas. They communicate via small notices in the
Catholic section of the newspaper. Bakari is head of a new Islamic
mosque in El Paso, and gets plenty of cash from The Muslim
Brotherhood to front his efforts for “Allah”.
Keep an eye out for Hector and Bakari. They are here.

Some border towns begin strict enforcement of immigration laws
Standing in a cramped federal courtroom in Del Rio, Texas last month, illegal immigrant Walter Oscar Portillo-Machado pleaded with a judge for mercy. But he came to the wrong place for that.
The Salvadoran man was caught along a 210-mile stretch of the Texas-Mexico border that has been set up as zero-tolerance zone for illegal immigration. Instead of merely getting sent back home, immigrants here are arrested, prosecuted, and sometimes sentenced to prison before they are formally kicked out of the country.
The effort began late last year along a border area that includes the Rio Grande border towns of Del Rio and Eagle Pass. It has been hailed by federal officials as a creative use of local and federal resources to tighten the border.
While other border sectors avoided strict enforcement because they did not have enough jail space or prosecutors, authorities in the Del Rio area found bed space elsewhere in the region, assigned federal agents to help prosecute cases and began running illegal immigrants through a courtroom at a rate of one case per minute.
Immigration advocates have criticized the practice, saying it only moves the problem elsewhere along the border and may sacrifice civil liberties for the sake of efficiency.
“There’s nothing we’re doing that wasn’t already on the books,” said Hilario Leal Jr., a supervisory Border Patrol agent in the Del Rio sector. “It’s nothing new. We just started enforcing the law.”
The Del Rio sector also ended the widespread practice of “catch-and-release” that freed most non-Mexican immigrants with a piece of paper ordering them to show up in federal immigration court a month later — and almost no one did.
Most Mexican citizens with no criminal record who cross outside the Del Rio sector are still escorted back shortly after their arrest. Those from other countries are held in a detention center — not as criminals serving time — while the paperwork is being completed to return them to their home countries.
But in the Del Rio sector, every adult illegal immigrant, regardless of their home country, is criminally prosecuted and removed from the country after they have served his sentence.
“They know if they come (to Del Rio) they are going home, they are going to jail,” Leal said.
Before the effort began, illegal immigrants came across the river near Del Rio in droves, with Central and South American citizens often surrendering to agents because they knew they would be let go — after receiving food, water, medical care and sometimes a ride to a bus station, along with their notice to appear in court.
In recent years, the situation had become so hectic that Del Rio sector agents were lucky if they patrolled the border for two hours during an eight or 10-hour shift, Agent Cynthia Bilyk said. The rest of their time was spent processing the immigrants.
Agents in the sector were averaging about 500 arrests a day, Leal said. Now there are fewer than 100 daily arrests, and the reforms are credited with reducing arrests by about 29 percent so far this fiscal year.
While the changes have curbed arrests, freed up agents and other resources, they have not slowed the traffic at the federal courthouse.
The day Portillo-Machado stood shackled and handcuffed in the courtroom, he was surrounded by more than 30 defendants facing the same charge. The judge handled about one guilty plea a minute.
When his name was called, Portillo-Machado said “Cupable,” which means guilty in Spanish. He then asked the judge for forgiveness and was later sentenced to 120 days in jail.
Court staff said the day’s docket was light in comparison with the average crowd of would-be immigrants that often overflows the courtroom.
Magistrate Judge Dennis Green said the cases are heard quickly, but each defendant meets with a court-appointed lawyer before going to court. If there is any question about an immigrant’s potential defense, that person’s case is heard separately, the judge said.
The federal court’s two Del Rio magistrate judges are hearing about 2,100 cases a month. Their counterparts farther from the border in West Texas are averaging about 140.
Opponents say the process just pushes the problem to other sectors.
“The border is like a balloon,” said El Paso immigration lawyer Felipe D.J. Millan. “If it expands in one area, guess what? It still comes in from another area.”
Millan also worries that the reforms in the Del Rio sector and a similar plan in southern New Mexico are simply backdoor efforts to criminalize immigrants.
