At least a dozen illegal immigrants have been smuggled to the U.S. border, including an Afghan with terrorist ties who made it into Arizona before he was caught.
A trafficking network took the Middle Eastern immigrants on a convoluted route across South and Central America to avoid detection before crawling under the U.S. fence with Mexico.
Palestinians, Pakistanis and the Afghan with links to the Taliban were helped into the Western Hemisphere by a Brazilian gang who hooked them up with Mexicans near the border, according to official documents seen by the Washington Times.
The Afghan man was ‘involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada’, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
