Among the several dozen Pakistani and Afghan men who have entered the U.S. illegally, coming into San Diego from Tijuana, two were found to have ties to terrorist groups, according to a letter sent by U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter to the Department of Homeland Security.

Same thing's been observed in Texas border towns.
You can monitor all you like; nothing will be done about it.
The first group — 11 men described by a witness as "military age and carrying U.S. cash” — crossed the border illegally and sought out patrol agents in order to surrender, according to reports.
Days later, a second group of 6 men entered the country at the same place and also sought federal agents to whom they could surrender.
Muhammad Azeem and Muktar Ahmad, both in their 20s, surrendered to U.S. Border Patrol agents in September, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One was listed on the Terrorist Screening Database for “associations with a known or suspected terrorist. The other was a positive match for derogatory information in an alternative database,” according to Hunter’s letter.

In what seems a very short time period several dozen military aged men using the human smuggling pipeline in the San Diego area with ID documents from Afghanistan and Pakistan carrying US cash were apprehended by Homeland. I am wondering how many cells made it through without detection? I will be monitoring this situation for sure. Any thoughts or opinions ATS?

If they are left to wandering over the southern border with some cash they are not a part of any group to worry about. The real threats come from those who fly in with false passports and have some organization.
