Hezbollah Invading U.S. From Mexico
"We've had Hezbollah agents that came across the border with Mexico," Jerome Corsi, co-author of "Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders", told Sean Hannity during an appearance Wednesday night on Fox News Hannity & Colmes.
Appearing with co-author and Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilchrist, Corsi agreed with Hannity that border security is important for national security because Hezbollah terrorists could be coming across the border with weapons of mass destruction.
Citing the arrest and conviction of Hezbollah agents who had already infiltrated the U.S. across the border, Corsi said: "They are in federal prison. They were convicted for sending money back from Detroit to Hezbollah agents in Lebanon. So we have definitive proof that we have Hezbollah - [the terrorist group] that Israel is fighting today - sleeper cells that we know are here."
Asked by Hannity if he thought we could be hit by Hezbollah agents here in the United States, Gilchrist said: "I would not be surprised if we took another attack. Everyone feels that way. It's just that no one knows where it's going to be."
That, he added, "is not the only domestic terrorism we're facing. We have a literal domestic terrorism that's developing in the country. The MS-13 gangs - they've infused themselves in every major community around the country."
Agreeing with Hannity's assertion that "the issue is so important because we are most vulnerable there," Gilchrist said: "The border is completely wide open. We know that Mexico is a drug cartel-controlled country where corruption reigns. Terrorists with money can buy their way into Mexico and just walk across the border. We've got thousands every year of what they call 'OTMs - other than Mexicans' and thousands of those are from the Middle East. Our government does not know why they are here. The Bush administration is not taking precautions and the national security risk [is increasing]."
