While Bush Sleeps...

This lack of attention to our border security defies my understanding. There has to be some reason Mr. Bush and his retinue are so passive and indolent. There must be a lot of stuff we just do not know that causes such dangerous disregard, and what we do not know could be very dark, indeed.

Surprisingly, FBI Director Mueller let his agents do their jobs in this reported instance. If that comment seems odd, read what Paul Sperry says in Infiltration (see our review) about Director Mueller and his literal shackling of the FBI with intensively enforced political correctness.

If they got this one, how many have they missed and are missing? Here are a few tidbits:

WorldNetDaily: Iranian smuggling ring busted near Mex border, Wednesday, June 1, 2005

A smuggling ring specializing in bringing Iranians into the U.S. over the Mexico border has been broken up in an FBI sting operation. A 39-year-old Iranian with permanent legal residency status who is suspected of having smuggled 60 other Iranians into the U.S. was arrested Thursday in Mesa, Ariz., according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The FBI began investigating Malhamdary after a source told immigration officials that Malhamdary had sought help getting false Mexican visas so he could bring Iranians into Mexico and then across the border into Arizona.

Federal prosecutors say Malhamdary had previously smuggled about 60 Iranians into the United States. Malhamdary flew to Tehran, Iran, in March, allegedly to get the passports of the Iranians he planned to smuggle into the United States through Mexico, Kellerman said in the statement. In late March, the undercover agent was given three passports.

Now, get this last statement in the article.

FBI officials said they had no reason to believe there were any terrorist connections to the case.

Did you take as much comfort as I did from this? Are the inmates running the asylum? Why do we permit that cesspool called "Mexico" to be the tail wagging us, the dog?
