Islamic extremists fluent in Spanish are entering the United States posing as Hispanic nationals, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration (dea) report. Mexican drug cartels have formed partnerships with terror networks, multiplying the danger posed by illegal immigration.

The report says it is “very likely that any future ‘September 11’ type of terrorist event in the United States may be facilitated, wittingly or unwittingly, by drug traffickers operating on both sides of the United States-Mexico border.” The report also warns that “the dea runs the risk of failing to detect or report the entry of terrorists, weapons of mass destruction or portable conventional weapons into the Unites States,” according to the Washington Times.

A law enforcement report from El Paso, Tex., said there are “approximately 20 Arab persons a week utilizing the Travis County Court in Austin to change their names and driver’s licenses from Arabic to Hispanic surnames.”

The Washington Times also obtained a Department of Homeland Security intelligence report that shows “nearly every part of the Border Patrol’s national strategy is failing.” Al Qaeda is actively trying to smuggle its operatives into the U.S. through the porous Mexican border, the report added.

The writing has been on the wall for some time: In 2005, reports warned that illegal immigrants were working in sensitive areas including nuclear facilities, and there has been a well-documented increase in violent Mexican gang activity in the United States. Last year, theTrumpet.com showed there are many routes available to terrorists who wish to enter the U.S.

As the United States fails to win the war on drugs, falls back in the war on terror, and allows the severity of the illegal immigration problem to mushroom, it becomes clear that the curses outlined in Deuteronomy 28:15-68—particularly that of strangers rising up and overwhelming the people—is already in the process of being fulfilled.
