We are teaching them how to basically destroy us again. Nice. Makes you wonder how these people got into our country to begin with.

There is definitely something with the system.

I'm not worried. I know they merely want to be somewhere they KNOW they won't be shot at, so they're all probably in Detroit.

1 The primary article is a bit confusing: it says that an alert has been issued for 17 people, but apparently some were caught already. FTA:The official further said that an unspecified number of the 17 have been caught. "A number of these guys have already been located or accounted for by now," the official said.

"Some are in removal proceedings to be deported already. (Authorities) still need to locate the others, and that is why the bulletin went out. "The official said the information is "kind of old" -- up to two years -- but added, "It is important in the sense that some people look to come to the U.S. and will take advantage of invitations to train or attend a conference or to study, etc. But their real intention is to get to the U.S. and start a new life.

It is not completely rare for this to happen....***A followup via PoliticsDaily:The source said authorities looked into every deserter and found no link to terrorism. And most had been located. In view of this, the headline is a bit misleading, because it makes it sound as if it were one incident of 17 people going all at once.
