The price of appeasement, Part 2
“We’re concerned about Hezbollah operatives here in the United States,” McCaul told a San Diego news outlet.
“While before they had a relationship [in America] about money, finance, the fact they could become operational is very much a national security concern.”
McCaul worked on a November 2012 House subcommittee report, titled “Line in the Sand,” which “concluded that Iran and Hezbollah pose a threat to the entire Western Hemisphere including the United States and our southwest border.”
According to the document, Hezbollah is keenly aware of the porous nature of the border around San Diego, and its leadership has been channeling money to drug cartels in exchange for a foothold near the US-Mexico border and aid in crossing it. The report cites at least one intelligence mission in coordination with Colombian authorities – called Operation Titan – that led to the seizure of $23 million in assets.

The United States would do well to be a lot more careful to whom it grants citizenship and visa extensions.
