FoxNews.com is following up on the Fort Dix terror plot by probing how the three illegal immigrant suspects got into the country in the first place.
Below the jump I've posted a creencap taken shortly after 2 p.m. EDT from the Fox News front page.
Fox News correspondent Catherine Herridge contributed to the story, entitled, "Sources: Brothers Charged in Alleged Fort Dix Terror Plot May Have Been Smuggled Into U.S.":
FORT DIX, N.J. — The three brothers being charged as part of the alleged Fort Dix terror plot may have been smuggled across the border, FOX News has learned.[...]
Four of the arrested men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one was born in Jordan and one came from Turkey, authorities said. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a U.S. citizen.
Federal investigators are now checking whether the latter three lied on their immigration paperwork to remain in the United States.

May 9, 2007 - 13:53 ET by ckc1227On a sorta related issue, seems Hispanic illegals aren't as socially conservtive as the propagandists would have us believe.
I can hear the argument now, lol:
"My friend, plenty of native Americans have illegitimate children as well. Racist, nazi, mexican-hating white supremacist, don't you know innocent immigrants are being beaten with metal pipes by your fellow racists? Let these people have their illegitimate children, they are no burden to the rest of us."
Illegals, leftists' new fashion accessory
May 9, 2007 - 14:03 ET by PlaceboGosh, illegals to boot. Now, we know why the leftist media ignored this angle of the Fort Dix terror plot. Illegals are becoming the new, fashion, accessory for the leftists. In America and the UK, illegals have are fashioned to suit the leftist’s agenda. Why fret by establishing borders and immigration laws? Open the borders and let illegals flood in, as America and others have already done. When this is fait accompli, the woollen-heads of the left can manufacture another Holy Grail, which will threaten the laws of the land, more so. Come to think of it, they have already done so.
Fox is about the only source
May 9, 2007 - 14:05 ET by BeowulfFox is about the only source that reports on the negative aspects of illegals, and even they have taken to calling them "illegal immigrants". Not always, but enough to conform somewhat to the MSM and the world of PC wording.
I, for one, am kinda tired of people calling these criminals "immigrants". They are not immigrants, they are aliens.
Here are a few definitions of "immigrant": (emphasis mine)
This is an alien admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident.
An alien who has been granted the right by the USCIS to reside permanently in the United States and to work without restrictions in the United States.
An immigrant can be any of the above-listed temporary residents (refugee, asylee, parolee). An immigrant can also be a foreign-born person admitted to the United States as an actual or prospective permanent resident.
Any person who is residing in the United States as a legally recognized and lawfully recorded permanent resident.
On the other hand. let's see what an "alien" is:
Foreigner, a person who comes from a foreign country; someone who does not owe allegiance to your country
In law, an alien is a person who is not a citizen of the land where he or she is found.
A foreign national who is not a citizen of the United States. This includes lawful permanent residents (green card holders), temporary visa holders, and undocumented foreign nationals.
A foreigner, or person born in another country, and therefore not entitled to the rights and privileges of the country where he resides.
So "immigrants" are admitted or granted permission to be here. "Aliens" can be legal if they are admitted, but in this context, is someone who is not admitted or granted permission to be here. Including undocumented foreign nationals. Hence the accurate term "illegal aliens". They are not illegal "immigrants". The terms are mutually exclusive. You can't be an immigrant if you are here illegally. You can't be an "undocumented immigrant" for the same reason.
And among these morons (poorly) planning to attack Ft Dix were several who likely fit all the requirements to be "aliens". They can by no means be construed to have any claim to being "immigrants". This is the trap the PC press, politicians, and so-called human rights organizations have created for us with their "correct" language. Now actual terrorists, coming into the US illegally, with the sole intention to do us harm, are being called "immigrants", even by the "ultra-right" Fox news.

I’m going to take the liber
May 9, 2007 - 14:17 ET by Airforce_5_OI’m going to take the liberal stance here:
So our Islamic Freedom Fighters were Undocumented Workers as well. I am shocked and appalled that Foxnews would do such a thing and actually investigate these poor oppressed men looking for a better life for their families.
Shame, shame, shame.
I am so glad we have the rest of the MSM to ignore such things and not inform the public.

Today another act of Terroris
May 9, 2007 - 16:05 ET by JayTeeToday another act of Terrorism was prevented from being carried out on our soil and to think, it wasn’t a soldier in Iraq, it was a shopkeeper from the streets of New Jersey that blew the whistle, and called the Authorities.
Terrorism is here!
And they are ILLEGAL ALIENS. And in some cities, the local authorities WILL NOT arrest Illegals when they find them.

News media: Scoreboard for terrorists
Thank you for that link JDW.I
May 9, 2007 - 16:32 ET by bigtimerThank you for that link JDW.
I have been waiting for someone to post something this great with this much info.
I have heard Milosevich (sp) in his own words saying we were going after the wrong side when we were taking him down (I used to have a big satellite and could get tons of other stations, plus I heard him on C-Span too with Lamb)....he said Al Qaeda had been was is Kosovo and elsewhere.
Nobody in the media has reported this, but the Clinton/Albright administration knew this information very well, I used to have a great book about some of this...passed it to a friend but the terrorists weren't called Al Qaeda yet if memory serves me.
I wished I wasn't so busy today, but I will look up some things tomorrow if I get time.
I heard Rush mention some of this today too while I was working.
