Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Last week. expert witnesses at an International Relations subcommittee field hearing in Laredo. Texas. testified that unlike in years past. many illegal immigrants who sneak across the border are no longer good people who are simply in search of honest work. but rather. increasingly. they are criminals who belong to violent gangs and drug cartels. Reynaldo Gaza. the Border Patrol chief in Laredo. testified that he worries now about the links between the drug cartels and the terrorists. Hundreds of illegal immigrants will cross our southern border today. Some of them will be criminals. some gang members. I pray none are terrorists.
