The statement contains two key facts that were missing from the earlier report.
DHS confirms that on Tuesday, members of two Syrian families, two men, two women and four children, presented themselves at a port of entry in Laredo. They were taken into custody by CBP and turned over to ICE for further processing. The two adult women and four children were transferred to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas. The two men from these families are being held at the South Texas Detention Center in Pearsall Texas. Due to privacy issues, no additional information will be provided at this time.
First, six of the Syrians were women and children, a fact that Breitbart and Trump conveniently left out.
Second, they did not try to sneak into the U.S., but rather “presented themselves” to border agents in a likely attempt to seek asylum. In other words, they were not so much “caught” but rather turned themselves in.

They turned themselves over to Border Patrol.
Gee, I wonder who is ultimately in charge of the Border Patrol?
The same Administration that told us all the BS about Benghazi when it has been shown that they knew the truth. Yep, they're trustworthy... not.
Come inside a trojan horse...and then climb out of the trojan horse...don't be so naive that just because there are women and children involved in this story doesn't mean those men are innocent.

I posted about this yesterday how the way for Isis to get into the U.S. was to go through Mexico first. Then cross the border illegally instead of claiming refugee status.
I was shot down with people claiming that this wasn't possible, yet if these Syrians were there how many more are there and how many have made it without turning themselves in.
If President Trump were there those two families would be gone in a heart beat…heck if a wall was up the big beautiful doors would not open because those people are illegals.
This article should open your eyes that these men could be working for ISIS in order to support their families....

Forgetting for a moment how high a wall and how much it would cost, people will still tunnel under, sail around, fly over the border and get through the gates hidden in trucks.

Trumps a blowhard. Forgetting for a moment how high a wall and how much it would cost, people will still tunnel under, sail around, fly over the border and get through the gates hidden in trucks.
Whats he going to do, guard it himself?
Btw ISIS is not stupid...they know all about the illegal Mexican immigration into the states...don't think for one second they won't use the same tactic

If those men were not attached to the women and children then I bet you they would not "turn themselves in". They are actors portraying married men with children. You prove to me otherwise...where are their identification papers? Passports? Proof of everything?
The perfect lie...and they play innocent. What is the worst thing that could happen to them at the border? Get free lunch and access to a clean toilet?
