The Department of Homeland
Security has warned Texas law
enforcement agencies that a renowned
Al Qaeda terrorist is planning to sneak
into the U.S. through Mexico, illustrating
that Middle Eastern extremists continue
to exploit the porous southern border
in their quest to harm Americans.
While alarming, this case is hardly
unique but rather part of a growing
trend among Islamic terrorists to slip
into the U.S. through a notoriously
vulnerable 2,000-mile stretch.
Mexican drug cartels and Middle
Eastern extremists have for years
joined forces to smuggle weapons
and terrorists into the U.S., though
the mainstream media coverage has
largely ignored it to focus on the
humble, poverty-stricken Mexicans
who simply come to seek a better life.
A few years ago the Drug Enforcement
Agency (DEA) revealed details of how
Islamic terrorists and violent Mexican
drug gangs have teamed up to successfully
penetrate the U.S. as well as finance terror
networks in the Middle East.
Additionally, the top Homeland Security
official in Texas confirmed that indeed
terrorists-with ties to Hezbollah, Hamas
and Al Qaeda-have been arrested
crossing into the state through the
Mexican border.
This proves that the U.S. government
has known for years that terrorists are
using Mexico as a pathway into the
country.
In this week's alert, Homeland Security
officials warn Houston authorities to
be on the lookout for a member of a
Somalia-based Al Qaeda group called
Al Shabab who plans to cross the
Mexican border.
Evidently, he has ties to a Somali man
in Texas who was recently indicted for
operating a large-scale enterprise that
smuggled hundreds of Somalis with
terrorist ties from Brazil, through South
America and across the Mexican border

In a disturbing revelation
for a Supreme Court nominee,
Elena Kagan took millions of dollars
from the Saudis as dean of Harvard
Law School and a chunk of it
reportedly came from 9/11
mastermind Osama bin Laden.
The bin Laden family
has donated millions of
dollars to the Ivy League
university over the years,
including generous endowments
for the school's Islamic law program
and others to finance scholarships for
students from Muslim countries.
The family has a fondness for Harvard
because Osama bin Laden's brother,
Abdullah, received a master's degree
from the school in the 1990s and a
doctorate in 2000.
When Kagan took over as dean
of the law school in 2003, she
launched an aggressive and
unprecedented fundraising campaign
that raked in a whopping $476.5 million,
the most lucrative in the law school's
history.
Renowned as a prolific fundraiser,
Kagan was tapped to head the law
school after spending a few years as
a professor there when her job in the
Clinton White House ended.
In addition to the $476.5 million
generated by the targeted campaign-
dubbed "Setting the Standard"-Kagan
helped raise an extra $60 million for
the Harvard Law School Fund.
A chunk of the cash came from
the Saudis-and probably the bin
Ladens-who have bankrolled
many key programs at the Cambridge
Massachusetts school over the years.
In fact, Harvard has accepted so
much cash from the bin Ladens that
the Cambridge City Council passed
a resolution calling upon the university
to donate compensation money for
victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks
on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon.
Harvard officials refused
