    James O’Keefe Crosses The US-Mexico Border Dressed As Osama Bin Laden

    James O’Keefe Crosses The US-Mexico Border Dressed As Osama Bin Laden



    Patrick Howley

    Investigative filmmaker James O’Keefe exposes the U.S.-Mexico border’s vulnerability to terrorism in his latest undercover project, obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller.

    O’Keefe’s Project Veritas video reminds viewers of recent statements by the president and Obama administration officials that the southern border is secure. O’Keefe then proceeds to Hudspeth County, Texas, to easily cross back and forth cross the Rio Grande wearing the costume of modern history’s most recognizable terrorist.

    “I see no border patrol. I see no security,” O’Keefe said in the video before donning a bin Laden mask. “Thousands of people have stood in my footsteps right now. They’ve come from South America, Honduras, Guatemala, and they’ve all crossed the border. And if they can cross, anybody can cross.” (RELATED: The Time Fidel Castro Snuck Into America From Mexico)

    Is there some reason border agents should be on the look out for someone dressed as Osama Bin Ladin?

    Read the border patrol's mission statement and their purpose for their agency.

    Border Patrol Overview
    Mission

    The priority mission of the Border Patrol is preventing terrorists and terrorists weapons, including weapons of mass destruction, from entering the United States. Undaunted by scorching desert heat or freezing northern winters, they work tirelessly as vigilant protectors of our Nation's borders.

    Project Veritas is just pointing out that they are NOT doing what they pledge to do.

    How does someone being dressed as Osama Bin Ladin have anything to do with that?

    True, he is dead. No fooling those border agents, I guess.

    It might be a real terrorist disguised as a dead one so he won't be suspected.
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    there's nothing illegal about looking like bin Laden, why does he think he should be stopped?

    If the person performing this experiment didn't think of this important point, it kind of undermines the whole OP. Don't you think?

    No need for a terrorist to cross the border when he can just legally fly in.

    I guess you didn't pick up on my sarcasm.

    It's sometimes hard to do that on the internet.

    So the OP was sarcasm?

    All the 9/11 hijackers entered the country legally. So did half the people presently here illegally.

    Countries in green are those from which you can fly into the US without a visa. Notice any trends?

    They are developed countries with low levels of poverty. People from those countries are not trying to sneak across the border to gain benefits. What's your point?

    What's his complaint? Had they detained him, they would have been violating his constitutional rights. This is just another "conservative" begging for more government. What's worse is he's begging for the worst kind of government. The police state.

    Would it illustrate a point if he dressed as Hitler, since somebody who looks like Hitler might really be Hitler?

    What point?

    The bigger question is what incentive does one have for crossing the border? It seems that removing the incentive would be easier than "securing" the border.

    If "free" education, meals, medical, etc were no longer available for non-citizens, that barbed wire just might be enough. If we quit the secret drone wars, propping up of dictators, and putting our noses into other people's business, there may be less risk of attack.

    The pursuit of absolute security - put best:


    Gulag Chief:
    "Article 58-1a, twenty five years... What did you get it for?"
    Gulag Prisoner: "For nothing at all."
    Gulag Chief: "You're lying... The sentence for nothing at all is 10 years"

    I think it illustrates what complete bull$#@! the TSA theater and pervasive spying really is.
    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
    --Albert J. Nock

    YAY! Someone gets it. Thank you.

    I have no issues with people who want to come to America--God Bless them all. However, when my government forces me to pay for the expenses of those people is where I have the problem.

    So bring your tired and hungry and let charitable organizations help out until these people get on their feet--Land of the Free doesn't mean reaching into my pocket to give to others.

    What point?
    Nice straw man argument. Hitler is dead. There are actually terrorists coming across the southern border, not to mention MS 13 gang members. The point is that anyone can cross the border into the US. There is no rule of law. I personally am not an anarchist, I do believe in rule of law, as $#@!ed up as many of them are.

    Oh, and you sound like a dumb ass with the Hitler comment.

    There are plenty of countries with lower poverty levels than Greece that didn't make the cut.

    It has widely been reported that ranchers and border patrol have found Korans, prayer rugs, etc. left behind in the desert north of the border. Oh, and then there's this http://cnsnews.com/news/article/napo...xico-time-time , this http://mrconservative.com/2013/06/18...ing-us-border/ , this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/551558/posts , and this http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-T...Open-US-Border

    I assume you have access to the internet, maybe instead of trolling on RPF all day you could use the internet to find out what's going on in the world. those aren't students sneaking across our southern border from Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, etc. Hell, even Napolitano admitted terrorists cross the southern border. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Oh, do you have any evidence to refute the claim? Then shut the hell up. Or I assume you are ok with the MS 13 gang members, but not the terrorists?

    Korans? That is proof positive they were terrorists! And they killed how many people? Probably found Bibles too! You know how those Christian countries like to drop bombs on people.



    What terrorists should you be most afraid of?



    What are the chances of it happening to you (being killed by a terrorist)?

    8) Your odds of dying in a terrorist attack are still far, far lower than dying from just about anything else.

    In the last five years, the odds of an American being killed in a terrorist attack have been about 1 in 20 million (that's including both domestic attacks and overseas attacks). As the chart above from the Economist shows, that's considerably smaller than the risk of dying from many other things, from post-surgery complications to ordinary gun violence to lightning.
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...united-states/

    Keep in mind that fear of terrorists is what brought us the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and attacks on other countries in the region. It was the excuse behind expanding the Department of Homeland Security, "naked airport scanners" and the Patriot Act. All to "protect us" from an extremely rare threat. It is why the NSA says it needs to track even more of our communications and actions. But maybe you are right- we need even more protections from such possible threats. Let's expand the security apparatus even more.

    I think people are missing the point. They (the government) say we need certain actions to protect us from "terrorists."

    Yet someone dressed as a "known" terrorist can easily cross into the US.

    He is pointing out it is all eyewash, theater.

    Well if we're going by the number of fatalities in your fancy chart then I guess Al Qaida.

    I'm not advocating bombing all of the countries with Muslims, I am a non-interventionist. Yes, I concur, statistically I am more likely to be "attacked" by local law enforcement. I abhor the militarization of the police state in this country. To be honest I feel pretty strongly that police shouldn't be able to carry arms. But if you think terrorists and gang members are not easily crossing the southern border you are an idiot. And I would say that to your face if you were sitting in my living room.

    I surely don't trust homeland security or the FBI to stop terrorist attacks in this country. It is my belief that as a country we should control who crosses our border. That doesn't mean 40,000 more border agents either.

    The policy is constantly revised. Chile was added in March of this year, making it the 34th country on the list with a white christian majority population. That would be 90% of the 38 countries in the program.
