User Clip: 100527 Cornyn Urged Border Security Against Immigrants from Majority Muslim Countries

"Madam President, yesterday the Department of Homeland Security told local law enforcement to keep their eyes peeled for a Somali man believed to be in Mexico for a period in order to make an illegal crossing into Texas. DHS believes this man has ties to an organization affiliated with al-Qaida. Maybe he will not come to Houston. Maybe he will go to some other city in this great country of ours. We simply don't know whether this individual or the 45,000 other-than-Mexican citizens who have immigrated illegally across our border represent a national security threat. If we look at the countries they come from--Pakistan, Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, Somalia, Yemen--it could mean something very bad will happen as a result of our dereliction of duty to secure the border." note: butchered pronunciation of Yemen close
