AUSTIN, Texas – The New York Post brings us yet more news in an overly familiar new genre: a Lebanese immigrant caught at the El Paso-Juarez border admitted he was a member of the terrorist group Hezbollah and entered with plans to build a bomb in New York.
It’s important to note that no US government agent forced this confession out of Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, as part of any well-worn border counterterrorism program.
No, Ebbadi bushwhacked medical personnel in the health section with the unsolicited confession.
And if he hadn’t, he seemed poised to be ushered into America with everyone else crossing the border from all the nations of the Middle East and world who arrive without any identification.
None of this is a surprise, yet no one in power has lifted a finger to stop it.
