‘The border is still not secure, anybody can cross’
WND
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Worldwide news coverage of America’s porous southern border, says Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, has effectively tipped off terrorists on exactly how to get enter the U.S. undetected.
“The border is still not secure and probably never will be 100-percent secure,” Arpaio told WND in an exclusive interview. “I’ve been working there 34 years on both sides, and anything can happen. Anybody can cross that border, whether they’re Central American, Middle Eastern or terrorist.”
Arpaio confirmed he’s seen Middle Eastern illegal immigrants pass from Mexico through his Maricopa County area, and he’s worried constant television coverage of how easy it is may inspire terrorists from Middle Eastern countries to follow suit.
“Why would it be surprising when you have a 2,000-mile border and people are coming across all the time?” he asked.
“The national media is always talking about the border, and people in the Middle East have televisions,” Arpaio told WND. “People listen to the media.”
Arpaio pointed out that efforts to stop the terrorist threat along America’s southern border face two major obstacles: Mexican and Central American governments that can’t keep track of who is moving through their territory and a U.S. government that apparently has the same problem.
