A smuggling network has managed to sneak illegal immigrants from Middle Eastern terrorism hotbeds straight to the doorstep of the U.S., including helping one Afghan who authorities say was part of an attack plot in North America.

Some of these men were caught before they reached the US but others weren't. One man had terrorist ties but wasn't caught through the first database border patrol used, nothing showed up on him until they did a check through the FBI database. I have to wonder how many made it into the US and still haven't been caught.

Thoughts?

Syrians and Palestinians managed to buy illegal citizenship documents from Honduras then tried to use them to enter the U.S., a Honduran newspaper reported over the weekend, exposing a scheme that analysts say could post a danger to the U.S. visa system.
