Joint Subcommittee
Hearing: Mérida
Part Two: Insurgency and Terrorism in Mexico U.S. Congress, Committee on Homeland Security,
hearing by the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Management,
4 October 2011
"There
is a real war happening along our border..." Rep. Michael McCaul
(TX), Chairman
"Drug
cartels exploit porous borders using all the traditional elements of military
force, including command and control,
logistics, intelligence, information operations and the application of
increasingly deadly firepower."
"We must
now also accept the fact that the enemy is not only at the gate, but, thanks
to the current administration's lack
of enforcement of existing laws to protect American citizens, there
is no gate."
"Due
to our open borders, the risk is extremely high for numerous events to
take place to overwhelm our resources and system
much like what has already been done to our critical infrastructure and
fabric."
Testimony of
Douglas Farah: "In the current context I am discussing state and
non-state criminal/terrorist organizations who are able to move goods from
Iran across the northern tier of South America,
through Central America and Mexico, and penetrate our borders with impunity."
Chairman Michael
McCaul (TX) on the hearing: "This administration is not giving
the American people a complete picture of security on our border with Mexico.
It is not "better now than it has ever been"; and the data on
spillover crimes and violence is deceiving and underreported. Our state
and local law enforcement
on the front lines need help. Their firsthand accounts tell the real story
of how we are outmanned, overpowered, and in danger of losing control of
our own
communities to narco-terrorists."
