Piper hijacked in Mexico. Reason? Nuke Smuggling

It would be hard to believe the terrorist would be dumb enough to go to
Mexico. I might actually feel sorry for them if they did. The Mexican
gov't isn't going to toss them in prison and give then 4 squares a day.
They'll be just like the prisoners in Gitmo, begging to be kept under
U.S. control.

The terrorist was last seen in Mexico, where, on Nov. 1,
2004, he allegedly hijacked a Piper PA Pawnee cropduster
from Ejido Queretaro near Mexicali to transport a nuclear
weapon and nuclear equipment into the U.S., according to
Paul Williams, a former FBI consultant and author of "The
Dunces of Doomsday."

Mexico is almost as corrupt as Pakistan. What are the chances terrorists
operating in Mexico would even come to the attention of Mexican authorities?
If they did become known to Mexican police, for example, pretty darn likely
the terrorists could make a charitable donation to the policeman's
retirement fund and come north to kill gringos as if nothing happened.

There are reasons why Muslim terrorists would likely come over the northern
border but coming over the Mexican border seems as difficult as falling out
of bed.

First, coming to Mexico is not anywhere as easy as coming to the U.S.
(with the exception of U.S. citizens). Mexico has VERY strict
immigration laws and getting residency is a difficult process.
Second, although there is some corruption in the area of traffic fines
and even some corporate legal issues, they don't screw around with
non/Mexicans. They consider it offensive for someone to come to their
country and cause problems. I hope the terrorist like easting fish
heads in a Mexican prison vs. getting Filet O'Fish in Gitmo.
Mexicans have a lot of national and ethnic pride and aren't too excited
about people coming into their country to cause problems.
Third, Mexicans are catholic no if-ands-or-buts about it. Muslims
living in Mexico would stand out like a soar thumb.

And you don't think that a well-funded, well-organized terrorist
organization could forge papers?

No, they consider it offensive if you don't grease their palms. Remember,
this is the country that wanted $500 USD just to drive into TJ from San
Diego or into Nogales, SON from Nogales, AZ but of course el winko, el
winko you'll get your money back when you leave Mexico...

Yeah, Right...

Mexicans have a lot of national and ethnic pride and aren't too excited

Horse ****. If this were true, they'd stay home and fix there own problems
instead of invading the US.

Um, ok, what, exactly, does a Muslim look like? Even if you're naive enough
to think that they all look like the Taliban, ever hear of this little thing
called a razor?

Actually, a Saudi or Yemeni without a beard wearing jeans, a plaid shirt,
cowboy boots and a white, straw cowboy hat is going to look a lot like many
of the Mexican day laborers I see here in the Phoenix area.

Behind closed doors, you could have thousands of people in Mexico facing
Mecca five times a day and you'd never know it.

Get real.

If they were smart they would come to the U.S. Its much easier to get
in and they'd have more like minded people. Plus, if they got caught,
no one would kiss there ass as much as American prisons. Gitmo is quite
a nice tropical getaway.

Not sure where you get your information. Haven't seen that. Lots of
great rumors though out there about Mexico. Kinda like UFO stories.

about people coming into their country to cause problems.

What percentage of Mexicans do you really think are in the U.S.? Would
you be surprised to learn that the majority choose to stay in Mexico?

You seem to claim to know quite a bit about Mexico. How frequently do
you go?

I don't know a lot about Mexico, but I know a lot about the importation
of poverty to Southen California, principally from Mexico.

I also know the Los Angeles Times (a liberal supporter of illegal
immigation in general) has twice published a survey that 70% of the
(remaining) citizens of Mexico would immigrate to the United States,
legally or illegally if they thought they could get work (keep in mind
this includes skilled and educated Mexicans, unlike the genrally very
poorly educated folks who have come across to date (some 12 million of
them, at least).

I am tired of my area hospital rooms being loaded up will illegals using
the ER as their free family doctor. This has resulted in the closing of
quite a few ERs throughout Southern Califorina; to the extent that your
life is now at risk if you get in bad auto crash in many parts of the
area because of lack of nearby ERs. And, distant ERs have been known to
turn away serious injuries because they are overwhelmed on occasion.

Mexico has a very corrupt govenment at most levels. How do I know this
with certainty. The LA Tines does a lot of coverage on it. A very good
friend of mine, a 35 year old Mexican immigrant when she was 18 keeps
reminding me about how bad it is for most people down there. She is a
very nice, very smart, very credible person. She, and five siblings
were illegals but granted ammentsy by Reagan,

I 100% agree. The United States imports most of our poverty. We are a
very prosperous nation but will always import an underclass.

I find that hard to believe. I've rarely met anyone in Mexico (taxi
driver, bus boy, etc) who hasn't been to the U.S. They seem to want to
return. If 70% of Mexicans wanted to enter the U.S and stormed the
border, I don't think we'd stand a chance.

Agreed, but I'm not sure what it has to do with the ability for
terrorist to enter Mexico. I don't think many people would choose a
Mexican prison over a U.S. prison.

According to the least controversial numbers I've come across (10
million illegal + 100000/yr legal), it seems to be between 10 and 20%

Would you be surprised to learn that the majority choose to stay in
Mexico? [...]

If I lived in a nation where a mere majority of its citizens actually
wanted to live there, I would not be too proud.

BTW: When I was clearing back through U.S. customs coming back from
Canada in my Mooney the agent told me the U.S. is far more concerned
about Canada than Mexico. Anyone can get into Canada. Mexico has tight
borders, Canada has a welcome mat.

But Mexican borders aren't tight enough, as tight as they may be.

June 2005
The number of Other than Mexican or OTM apprehensions is up more than 30%
from this time last year, and that's causing logistical and financial
problems for the U.S. Government.

Border Patrol agents in the Tucson Sector have caught roughly 376,000
illegal entrants since last October 1st, which is the start of the 2005
fiscal year. About 9,400 of them are from countries other than Mexico.

"Out of the 9,400, approximately 8,000 have been from Central American
countries," says Border Patrol Agent Jose Garza.
