Rise in Migrants from ISIS-Infested Muslim Country Trying to Enter U.S. Via Mexico

An alarming number of migrants from a south Asian Islamic country that's well known as a terrorism hotbed are trying to enter the United States through the Mexican border in Texas, according to government figures obtained by Judicial Watch.

For the second consecutive year U.S. Customs and Border Protection stats show that the Laredo Border Patrol Sector is the favorite crossing point into the U.S. for illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, a recruiting ground for terrorist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent.

A few weeks later, the agency revealed that it apprehended an additional nine Bangladeshi nationals trying to sneak into the U.S. through Laredo.

Back in 2016 the State Department warned of a "Significant increase in terrorist activity" in Bangladesh, most notably carried out by ISIS and AQIS. That year ISIS claimed responsibility for 18 attacks in Bangladesh, including a July 1 attack on a restaurant in Dhaka's diplomatic enclave, which killed 22 people.

"More than $1 billion in taxable goods is smuggled into the country from India, and analysts believe that some of this money ends up in the hands of terrorist groups. This is also the case with small arms sales, drugs and counterfeit U.S. dollars that enter Bangladesh from neighboring Myanmar and the Golden Triangle." Last year a Bangladeshi man in the U.S. with a chain migration family visa tried to detonate a pipe bomb in a crowded New York subway corridor.

A growing number of illegal aliens from terrorist nations-including Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh-have tried to enter the U.S. through Mexico in the last few years.

In 2015 Judicial Watch reported that dozens of them were held in a Texas Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center after entering the U.S. illegally through Mexico.
