The five men are being held by authorities for falsifying documents, Baca said.

“It’s believed they were going to make their way to the United States,” Baca told reporters. “There have been problems at the international level and we have been on high alert.”

Honduras these days is basically a province of the CIA, which makes it an odd choice for Syrians supposedly trying to infiltrate the U.S. border.

Sounds like somebody's trying to give Donald Trump an early Christmas present.

If they make it to Texas on foot, those Teabagger rednecks will be waiting for them. Their fondest wish.

Turd Blossom's gears are turning overtime, trying to think of a way to turn this refugee crisis into some new "Benghazi" - preferably a few weeks before the 2016 election.

The same way that our "War On Drugs" has stopped drug smuggling.

Seriously, isn't it better to have a program to screen and document refugees than to have them sneaking in with forged passports?
