During the operation, the AWG worked with the Department of Homeland Security and state and local law enforcement in the San Diego area to “observe asymmetric infiltration operations and emerging asymmetric threats.”
The Army investigators discovered that drug traffickers and smugglers are employing “exceptional surveillance and counter-surveillance capabilities, robust technical communications capabilities as well as effective marking and signaling techniques to facilitate smuggling of illegal personnel and illicit cargo into the United States,” the report says.
Some of the aliens are suspected of being terrorists from Middle Eastern countries sneaking into the country by employing drug smugglers skilled in transporting human cargo into the United States, the report adds.
Few of the tactics employed by the border busters appear sinister at first glance. In one example, the AWG reported seeing a woman setting up a road-side tamale stand on the south-side of the primary border fence. Upon investigation it was found that her car was parked pointing toward “known fence breach points” as a signal to border jumpers.
Other seemingly innocent activities observed by the intelligence operatives revealed drug trafficking and “alien smuggling spotters” using taxis and other legitimate businesses located on the U.S. side of the border to monitor and report Border Patrol activities to criminals who pay them with drug proceeds.
The innocuous nature of the smugglers tactics mask as far more sinister motive than smuggling illegal aliens seeking the American dream, the report concludes.

Just one more reason to add to the millions of others why the border should be sealed and amnesty should not be an option.
Drug Cartels ARE Terrorists, and it was a matter of time BEFORE they joined forces.. It's time to bring the Troops home from Iraq and deploy them to the U.S./Mexico border...

I couldn't agree more. It is also time to cut off ALL aid to mexico and let them stand on their own or die. Either way, it will end their co-dependency upon and destruction of Americans, our sovereignty and our way of life.
Unless you have a death wish I don't think you or anyone else would want a sample:

Two weeks ago,18-year-old Matt Kirk, who is no relation to the congressman, was found dead of a heroin overdose in the basement of his family's Homer Glen home.
Authorities believe he may have been killed by an extra-potent batch of Mexican heroin now in the Chicago area.
************************ Rep. Kirk lamented the more than 30 people in Lake County and Will County who have died this year alone from high-purity heroin. "We've just had this wave of deaths," he said. "Drug dealers aren't going to protect the health of their addicts." The heroin has been tracked to drug cartels in Mexico and is part of a larger upsurge in Mexican drug violence, he said.

Cheese is ground black tar heroin mixed with antihistamines containing diphenhydramine. The tan-colored, snortable concoction is thought to be more appealing to young people than more traditional forms of heroin.
Since 2005, "cheese" heroin has been suspected in the fatal overdoses of at least 24 people 18 or younger in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Police believe that the Dallas-based operation that was raided last week was selling to the several cheese manufacturers in the area, Chief Bernal said.
"The seizure could literally make millions of hits of cheese at two dollars a hit," Chief Bernal said.
From the two apartments, police also seized 50 pounds of marijuana and 120 grams of cocaine, as well as six handguns, two rifles, three vehicles and about $5,500.
Hugo Cabrera, 28; Maria Velez, 32;Ramiro Cabrera, 36; each were in the Dallas County jail held on one count of manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance. Eugenia Rebollar, 23, was being held at the jail on count of possession of marijuana.
All four were being held for immigration authorities.
While you guys are stopping Pancho, Pablo and Jose in the south border. Ali, Muhammad, Hussein are coming in thru Canada.
Yes, this may be true. However, the Mexican border is a double whammy. We not only have Poncho, et al., we also have hordes of OTM (other than Mexican) streaming through our southern border. I won’t even get started on the Mexican drug cartels.
Are you suggesting that only harmless fruit pickers are entering through Mexico?
While you guys are stopping Pancho, Pablo and Jose in the south border. Ali, Muhammad, Hussein are coming in thru Canada.
Actually Pancho, Pablo, the mexican drug cartels, et al. are assisting terrorist to come into the US.

The latest offering comes in a March 27 article by journalist Sara A. Carter in the Washington Times. It quotes an array of mostly anonymous U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and military intelligence sources darkly hinting that Hezbollah and Mexico’s drug cartels are working hand in glove. The evidence offered? Hezbollah has traveled on cartel-controlled routes to smuggle operatives and contraband into the U.S. The piece quotes Michael Braun, a recently retired assistant administrator and DEA chief of operations, who concludes: “They work together. They rely on the same shadow facilitators. One way or another, they are all connected.”
