Three Afghans nabbed with fake Mexican passports

Nothing to see here, move along.
Three Afghan nationals were arrested at the Nedumbaserry International Airport, near here, today for travelling on fake Mexican passports, Immigration officials said.
The three were earlier in the day deported from Kuwait after authorities there doubted their claim to be Mexican nationals.
Immigration and other security officials interrogated the three for several hours and finally arrested them on charges of travelling on forged passports.
According to Immgiration officials, they were Afghan nationals trying to go to France. However, their real names have not been disclosed so far.
The Mexican passports which they were carrying identified them as Antonio Lopez Juan (42), Javier Sanchez Alberto (20) and Atonio Lopez Ernesto (16). They had left from Nedumbaserry Airport on February 11 for Kuwait en route to France.
However, the emigration officials at Kuwait had found them to be suspects as they reportedly could not understand any Spanish. They also suspected the passports to be forged. The three were then deported to Nedumbaserry today.
Nedumbaserry? Indeed. I’m sure there’s no significance at all to the fact that they just happened to have faked Mexican passports. It’s not like those would make it easier to get into the US or anything.

They only faked their documents so they could come to America and do the jobs Americans won’t do! George Bush and the neocons force them to live in the shadows!

Common sense saw this years ago. Too bad those in Washington DC will still not see it ever after it is put right in front of their face.
They are all trying to get the Mexican vote down the road in 2020+, ignoring the fact that the USA may not exist like it is now past 2016.
Fire them all, get some people in there with a clue.
Voidseeker on February 14, 2008 at 9:33 AM
It makes me sad to think that it will actually have to take US citizens giving up their freedom and becoming criminals before Washington DC gets in line. I hope I am wrong, but I believe we are getting close to the time where people will stop calling and start shooting.
But what bothers me more is that I will not be sad for those that get shot.

Nice sampling of anti-Mexican bigotry on display in the post and the comments. It’s not like *any other* country has their passports faked. This kind of stuff is going to happen. Bah, why even bother to talk at you people? You’ll just have your prejudices confirmed. Those Mexicans are diff’rent from *us*! They have to be kept out! It’s law enforcement! It’s securing da border! It’s to prevent terrorism! You know and I know it’s nothing like that. It’s the same sort of prejudice, bigotry, and protectionism that is built into human nature. If you see them as *other* then they need to be kept out and kept down.

Predictable responses by the open borders/WSJ/La Raza types:
- You’re racist (and/or nativist, restrictionist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, etc.)
- See, the fact that they caught them means the system is working!
- This has to be weighed against the economic prospect of paying workers $50 to pick lettuce

In case you didn’t notice, the topic is about Mexico! The terrorists know that Mexico is the easiest way in and the afgans used mexican names. Just for the record, I am not anti mexican, I am anti illegal of any kind! You have to admit that most, NOT ALL, but most of the illegals in this country are Mexican and the enter from Mexico.

The fence is a necessary at this point, along with all of the other things you mentioned. The fence gives an extra layer of protection. That said, If they build the fence, stop the flow, then get a SOUND guestworker program in place, the fence will become less of a necessity.

To speak on my experience, I’ve been to Mexico, I worked in jobs with illegals, and I’ve lived in Thailand and also both coasts of the US. In Atlanta I saw my neighborhood go Mexican. Though my weakness makes me want to dislike Mexicans and basically everyone “different,” it is my *experiences* which inform my sympathy to Mexicans and other large immigrant groups. The problem isn’t that they break the law, the problem is that the law is being an ass if it crimminalizes what a great many people do already. Especially if that law isn’t enforced. Show me the real danger to the USA from illegal workers and immigrants.

As long as “they” are breaking the law, “they” need to be deported. If “they” legally emigrate, then I welcome “them” as my new neighbors.
How racist is it for pro illegal immigration supporters to accuse all who question their actions of prejudice.
If I am against murderers and some murderers happen to be Hispanic, that does not make me an anti Hispanic racist, but someone the supports the law. The same applies to those that break our immigration laws. They are criminals.

The next Mexican forgeries from Islam will speak Spanish to evade discovery before dooming us.
McCain might really come through for us, just as he voted against banning water boarding in the Senate.
Negative attention is due to those Republican Senators who would rather we die than be protected by rational means that include water boarding of uncooperative suspects.
Collins-R-ME
Hagel-R-NE
Lugar-R-IN
Smith-R-OR
Snow-R-ME
Senators voting to ban water boarding need to re-evaluate their self-righteous premise that excludes our nation’s best interest and excludes citizen’s rights to be protected from terrorists.

Is anyone keeping a list of incidents like this? Arabs/Muslims/Middle Eastern people being caught in Mexico under mysterious circumstances, crossing the border, etc. I know there have been at least a handful of instances over the years but they usually only get passing mention, but I’d like to see a list.
RightWinged on February 14, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Well, Viscount_Bolingbroke — the problem mainly lies in the fact that
(a) they skip out on paying federal or state income tax,
(b) they hit the local hospitals, ERs, and clinics for medical services and then never pay squat,
(c) they pack 8 people per apartments designed for 2 and overload the municipal sewer systems,
(d) they park large families of kids into the local school systems which then pay extra money for “English as a 2nd language” teachers, increasing the class sizes, but NOT paying their fair share to support the schools,
(e) they drive on the roads without licenses and without ever having to pass drivers education training in the USA so they have a higher rate of accidents and then
(f) they skip without paying for the insurance or medical expenses for those they injure in those accidents.
Need I go on? The point is — they consume far more in social services than they contribute to the economy. It isn’t like they are coming in illegally and taking jobs as engineers, doctors, or systems analysts. They take low paying, cash oriented jobs, pay squat in taxes, use medical services and school services — and don’t pay for them.

Real danger to US citizens from illegal aliens? Tuberculosis and other diseases that were not a problem in this country because of our medical system are now exploding along the border because the illegals carry them in.
And how many of these OTM (other than Mexican) folks have strolled on across the border?
Yeah, I’m gonna vote McCain for POTUS because Obama’s even worse on this issue, but I sure ain’t gonna try to pretend that it’s not important.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 10:37 AM
This is where you reveal your core problem. I appreciate your honesty, so I mean no malice…
But, you need to deal with your inherent racism before you spew your ignorance on this subject. When you begin to see people without regard to the things they can’t change, like heredity, nationality, or skin color, then you can begin to discuss things on the basis of principle.
Saltysam on February 14, 2008 at 10:40 AM
Not if we had enough border patrol agents, with the right to stop those who climb or dig, and the authority to shoot those who defy them.
But I have to agree on one thing. If a “virtual” fence works better, I’m all for it.
The law against unchecked entry did not criminalize what many “already” do. The large influx of illegals is very recent, much of it occuring since Dubya became president. The law was in place decades earlier.
I would also point out that the United States is by no means the only country that has such a law. In fact, so does Mexico. Is their law, too, “an ass”?
Let me count the ways:
They hurt the economy, including driving down the wages for some workers.
They commit other crimes after entering, such as gang activity.
(See here for information on these first two items. Lots of links in the article, too.)
They damage the environment.
They raise the cost of health care.
They smuggle illegal drugs into the U.S.
Need I say more?
But even their illegal activity isn’t even the worst problem. This is because a border open to unchecked immigration is also a border open to drugs, and open to terrorists.
Bigfoot on February 14, 2008 at 10:43 AM
My God you are RIGHT! It is really just that simple…we are all bigots againsts *others*, well the brown skinned ones.
Because if it were uneducated french speaking white people illegaly streaming across the border I would be 100% in favor of amnesty. Really. I would. I would have zero problem with them coming in to my neighborhood and turning it into a Quebec barrio.
No seriously I would not mind it all. It is really just that simple. The debate is over with a simple one word accusation.

The reason for the fence should be to eliminate the excuse of an accidental crossing. You can’t “accidentally” walk into my locked house, if I find you there then you are hear to do harm and I will shoot to kill. Same with the fence, you don’t accidentally cross it, you do it willingly with malicious intent and we should treat those incursions as such. A fence my not stop, but it does remove all doubt as to intent!
rgranger on February 14, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Well, I suppose I shouldn’t admit that I’m human like the next woman. I should appeal to various fiduciary reasons such as cheap labor = better economy. If I do that, however, I’ll just play into the argument that illegals are a drain on the government programs. I would rather say that the case for amnesty is that it would improve the situation both for the illegals and for the citizens. It would bring illegals into the taxation and record-keeping systems as well as give them a stake in the nation. Hopefully as full equal citizens. I’m amenable to debate on when exactly the amnesty will grant full citizenship, but I want it to happen.
As for the border, the problem isn’t enforcement but rather facing the reasons that hordes of people are striving to cross over to the USA. The main reason is that their own countries are poor and their lives could be improved by coming here. The answer I favor is to do what we can to improve the political and economic situation south of the border. Only then will people want to stay there and not come here.
Viscount_Bolingbroke on February 14, 2008 at 10:53 AM
As for my supposed “racism,” you can smear me all you like. I only admitted that I inherently find those who are not *like me* to seem strange and in some way unsettling. That’s just evolution and instinct speaking. It’s not skin color that I refer to as the bigotry against Hispanics, but rather the cultural differences such as language, religion, goals, family style, etc. It’s also a question of economics. If the immigrants risking life and punishment in order to cross our border were sufficiently like us, they wouldn’t want to come here in the first place. My approach is to try to accomplish that by normalizing their status in this country and by advocating assistance to countries like Mexico in order that they might become more prosperous.

The Spanish language and consequently the culture does not focus on personal responsibility. You can’t say “I dropped the glass” in Spanish, you say “the glass slipped out of my hand”. You can’t say “I missed the plane”, you say” the plane left without me”.
This handicap of the spanish language contributes to the replete corruption of Latin America and the utter lack of respect of law. They learn to be a irresponsable victims as they learn Spanish.
That is one reason it is so important for Latin immigrants to learn English.

Although Saltysam has more than adequately answered you, and there is no way to get thru to you, I’m going to expand on his response just a little further. Yesterday on azcentral.com, oddly enough, this was posted.
If you don’t see and comprehend that this is a danger to American citizens that we don’t need, want, nor deserve to have thrusted upon us, no matter what these people want to accomplish with their lives then you are just a daft git not worthy of expelling any hot air on the subject.

For those who still think Obama wouldn’t be worse than McCain on immigration/amnesty:
The conservative republicans feel more affection for Bush than for McCain, correct? Yet they stand up and fight against Bush when he tries to foist stupid stuff upon us (Harriet Miers, amnesty).
Why the certainty that they wouldn’t fight even harder against McCain, who they don’t exactly love?
Their entire effectiveness has been based on getting democrats like Jim Marshall (house, GA) and Claire McCaskill (senate, MO) to vote with them, because the dems are still in the majority, and will still be in December 2008.
If it’s a dem POTUS, those votes will be exponentially harder to get. The dem caucus leaders will let their folks vote with conservative GOP insurgents if it is against the GOP president. They won’t be nearly so willing to let their members rock the boat if that amnesty proposal came from one of their own.

You point the accusatory finger when posters made NO reference to race as a basis for rational arguments.
YOU brought up race, YOU said you feel uncomfortable around “them”, which clearly illustrates your inability to understand this issue because you’re so blinded by your own excuses.
In this time of political witch-hunting by simply pointing and shouting “RACIST”, it took a degree of guts on your part to admit your nagging problem, I “suppose“.

Comments like Bolingbroke’s used to befuddle me until I realized that liberals don’t have a real argument to justify their amnesty stance so they change the issue to the black, evil souls of conservatives and the moral superority of Bolingbroke the poor persecuted lover of all mankind. The fact is that no one has posted anything racist and if Bolingbroke loved mankind so much he’d be out helping mankind instead of trolling here. He just enjoys the reaction he can provoke with his hate talk.

Bolingbroke is just a plant working for various business interests that feel threatened by the law of the land, and the current mood of the American people.
She has no interest in helping out mankind, that’s just the script she was handed. They have no argument so they jump on the baseless xenophobe/racist accusations.
She blew it by illustrating the real racism that feeds this Senatorial/Presidential induced system of cheap labor. She’s probably fired by now.

Line from “Jaws”, “you won’t believe there is a shark out there ’til it swims up and bites you in the ass”. It amazes me how complacent the US citizenry has become, and 9/11 not even 10 years old.

It must have been their mustaches that got them into trouble.
