One of the American men accused in Minnesota of trying to join the Islamic State group wanted to open up routes from the U.S. to Syria through Mexico, prosecutors said.

Gules Ali Omar told the ISIS members about the route so that it could be used to send members to America to carry out terrorist attacks, prosecutors alleged in a document filed this week.


The document, filed Wednesday, is one of many filed in recent weeks as prosecutors and defense attorneys argue about which evidence should be allowed at the men's trial, which starts May 9.

The men — Omar, 21; Hamza Naj Ahmed, 21; Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, 22; and Abdirahman Yasin Daud, 22 — have pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit murder outside the U.S. Prosecutors have said they were part of a group of friends in Minnesota's Somali community who held secret meetings and plotted to join the Islamic State group.

Why not over the virtually unprotected Canadian border?  There are direct flights from Pakistan and UAE airports to Toronto; most air traffic from the Eastern Hemisphere to Mexico makes a stop in the US.

I used to work with one of those guys. Kind of. He was a temp in a different department at my previous employer. Glad he decided to take his jihad dream on the road, and not to work.

Canada is a developed country with computers and shit. It's would probably be easier for them to sneak into Mexico, and then sneak here.

Nah it's easier to just harass and spy on law abiding citizens instead of building something racist like a wall or enforce the border

In 2001-2002 one of Texas' representatives was making the talk radio rounds talking about groups of non-Mexicans making their way across the Texas border in noticeable numbers. He talked about the groups of 8-10 young middle eastern men speaking broken English who were paying double to the coyotes what a normal border crosser were paying. Nobody noticed or cared about these people. I was shocked and upset that the president wasn't closing the border back then.

We temporarily had Strykers on the Mexican border...not that they were allowed to do anything...



But yeah...people dismiss this kind of stuff because they think short. "It's been 15 years...they haven't done anything, so it can't be true..."



THEY think long term...



Same reason you see the muslim "cities" around the US that have gone dormant and emptied out. "No big deal...they've been empty for years..." Yeah...b/c they finished their training...now they're waiting

Except if you go from just about anywhere in Asia to anywhere south of Texas, you'll be making a stopover at a US or European airport which puts you on a passenger manifest that's CCed to our Secret Squirrels.

 Not if Trudeau lets them in as "refugees" then it's far easier.

You're also forgetting Mark Dayton. He's now open about it and doesn't care.

Certainly plausible IMO. They were patient leading-up the 9/11.

I won't be taken by complete surprise if they try Beslan style coordinated attacks on a national scale. People before 9/11 would have NO doubt claimed you were crazy and paranoid if you'd have said they were going to fly airliners into the WTC and Pentagon.

No real need since the government plans on importing 700k from that region, over the next year.  Last I read, any ways.
