Hezbollah is using the same southern narcotics routes that Mexican drug kingpins do to smuggle drugs and people into the United States, reaping money to finance its operations and threatening U.S. national security, current and former U.S. law enforcement, defense and counterterrorism officials say.
The Iran-backed Lebanese group has long been involved in narcotics and human trafficking in South America’s tri-border region of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. Increasingly, however, it is relying on Mexican narcotics syndicates that control access to transit routes into the U.S.
Hezbollah relies on “the same criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation experts as the drug cartels,” said Michael Braun, who just retired as assistant administrator and chief of operations at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
“They work together,” said Mr. Braun. “They rely on the same shadow facilitators. One way or another, they are all connected.

His comments were confirmed by six U.S. officials, including law enforcement, defense and counterterrorism specialists. They spoke on the condition that they not be named because of the sensitivity of the topic.

Take a look on what is going in Venezuela with the activity of Middle East terrorist groups, organized crime, and drug cartels…it will be a major threat to all hemispheric nations.
This is a very important reason why the U.S. military should intervene in the battles against the Mexican drug cartels. Not only are they sending their drugs and criminal element across our borders and committing acts of kidnapping, murder and robbery, they’re also sending their Los Zetas squads (former members of the Mexican special forces). That should constitute an armed invasion, an act of war. But now their allowing islamic terrorists access to the drug routes, which in my opinion, puts them into the same catagory as Osama bin Laden. It should be treated with the same response that was given to Iraq and Afghanistan, (support terrorism and pay the price) This should be answered with an armed military response. Former Pres. Bush said after the attacks on 9/11 (we will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and the Governments who harbor them.” Well it seems that the Mexican cartels are now harboring known terrorist organizations. It’s time to do something about it, with or without Mexican permission.
Well what do think is going to happen, everyone knows we don’t guard our borders.
This surprised people?
i think david said it all.
It is time that we militarize our border with Mexico. I also feel any Mexican national that is in our country illegally and convicted of a crime, which being in our country illegally is a crime, should be considered a terrorist and treated as such. The drug cartels are flooding our country with Heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, and now have allowed terrorist access to their drug routs into our country. The Mexican president puts the blame on Americans stating our thirst for the illegal drugs. The Mexican government is corrupt, the Mexican military is corrupt and the Mexican police are corrupt. Any attempt to quell our concerns is just a farce by the Mexican government as the dollars float uphill.
In 1990’s Russians were buds with us with Project Harmony-UN- and Partners For Peace -NATO.They even came over here and disarmed some 300 plus radio controlled nuke suitcase bombs -made in ex-Soviet states like Romania,Bulgaria-on dams and powerplants. We have always been very vulnerable to sabotage and border crossings.Thus one day radical Islam will have it’s day in terror again.And Obama wants to hire a bunch of Muslims in his administration?The terrorists have the best “insider”- you can get–the Prez himself!And you can bet they will not only have Russian Spetznas and Red Chinese mafia-intelligence spying out all of our top secrets ,the Prez will hand this place over to his comrads on a silver platter-wait and see.This is the Manchrian Candidate!Central and South American countries have allied with all of our enemies even getting missiles-with NBC warheads soon-read Paul Williams books.He let this out years ago.
