Five young Middle Eastern men were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol this week in an Arizona town situated about 30 miles from the Mexican border, law enforcement and other sources told Judicial Watch.
Border Patrol agents spotted the men crossing a ranch property in the vicinity of Amado, which is located about 35 miles south of Tucson and has a population of 275. Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks, JW’s sources say, alarming Border Patrol officials enough to call the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for backup. A multitude of federal agents descended on the property and the two men carrying the cylinders were believed to be taken into custody by the FBI.
Only three of the men’s names were entered in the Border Patrol’s E3 reporting system, which is used by the agency to track apprehensions, detention hearings and removals of illegal immigrants. E3 also collects and transmits biographic and biometric data including fingerprints for identification and verification of individuals encountered at the border. The other two men were listed as “unknown subjects,” which is unheard of, according to a JW federal law enforcement source. “In all my years I’ve never seen that before,” a veteran federal law enforcement agent told JW.
Apparently, six other men from Pakistan and Afghanistan were arrested a couple of weeks ago near the town of Patagonia, AZ. They were questioned by the FBI, who turned them back to ICE.
Judicial Watch says the FBI is denying any knowledge of the latest arrest, and they received no response to an inquiry to DHS.

So, how many times has this happened that we DON’T know about?

If you read the Judicial Watch article, it could be frequent, because the government covers it up.

This is very interesting. Consider if you will that any “Syrian” so-called “refugee” can just get flown in without any scrutiny by the Goobermint and its paid contractors, why then would a few need to come in via Mexico?
Then consider, if you were a aforementioned category individual, is it more or less likely that you would have the G2 (intelligence) to NOT GET BAGGED coming across the border?
What twigged the border patrol to these cats? Is it conceivable that the officers on the border somehow did not get the memo, consequently stopped those who cannot be stopped (i.e., a regime protected class)? Stand by for someone to get quietly fired, demoted or shunted off into a career cul-de-sac over this misunderstanding.
We hear of cylinders… this is curious. No pics, just speculation.
If I were the honcho running that sort of infiltration, the cats who were apprehended would have been sent specifically to distract, get caught and provide an opening for something else. I stress again that there is no need for legitimate people to sneak across the border. The only ones doing so have a reason to not be noticed, not leave a paperwork or digital trail. These cats were sacrificial anodes for something else.

The other thing I always try to keep in mind with these stories is that the belief that a great organization like Judicial Watch can FOIA something and it actually means anything. That’s a quaint notion from another era, where the government at least tried to pretend they were accountable to the people.
Under this Regime, a story like this should trigger the question, “WHY” was this particular tidbit allowed to be released? This is the gang that has successfully stonewalled any probes into Killary, and a DOJ that funds with our dollars civil disobedience and outright lawlessness.
So my question is, Why did they release this, and How do they intend to use this?
What are we being manipulated into doing?
Fortunately, I’m not an evil, narcissistic anti-liberty card carrying socialist meglomaniac, so sometimes it takes me a while to spool up to what’s really afoot with these cats. It’s NEVER what it appears to be on the surface as we’ve too far too often had revealed over the last 8 years of lies and deflection.

The issue of vetting as bleated by the talking heads and DoS types..
The details of what the vetting consists of will be illuminating, if they ever make it public knowledge.
I hope that the average American will consider that there is NO WAY for American investigators to go to and interview contacts of “refugees” in Syria without getting the ISIS treatment… unless, of course, ISIS gives them a pass. There are some implications in that paragraph that I’ll just let the reader cogitate upon.
A real life example from Iraq regarding “paperwork”… all Iraqis were supposed to carry what is called a “Gencia” card… sort of like an official Iraqi citizen ID card. They looked like small passports. The only place they could get them was in Baghdad, but to go TO Baghdad, it was too dangerous. So, locals just made up their own versions and carried those. Same for lic. plates on cars. No matter, because there was no way to query any central database of the Iraqi civil government to check on details. Is Syria better equipped in this regard despite years of catastrophic, internecine warfare? The vetter propagandists would insist they are. Common sense and experience say, “no”.
If large portions of Syria are as chaotic as Iraq was/is, how do the people claiming that vetting is taking place propose it will happen? Will they detail platoon size Infantry units as personal escorts to investigators? Will investigators get paid hazardous duty pay? Who, exactly IS doing the vetting? Will they or have they contracted it to locals? If so, who vets THEM? Have they unwittingly or wittingly hired ISIS guys who have cleaned up (shaved, put on a sport coat) to pencil whip this? “Oh, Muhammed bin Muhammed? Nice guy, pro western, not radical, last read “The Feminine Mystique”, would not hurt a fly….
One must understand that a vetting process depends entirely upon the VETTERS. Consider the OPM “hack” by “China”…. we are the most advanced nation in the world, spend untold billions on this sort of thing and we get pwned? O.K…. if we were pwned, why at this time? It is bad enough that America has had Jonathan Pollards, Aldritch Ameses and Robert Hanssens, but they all PASSED vetting of the highest order. Americans need to keep a healthy skepticism of this and frankly anything emanating from Mordor on the Potomac. Humans are imperfect, got it. But this far down the road to perdition, it went from happenstance, to coincidence, to enemy action.
