FBI: Iraqis Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande

How ironic. There is a refugee crisis in Iraq and manny them are trying to flee to the United States. And the government that caused the mass exodus in the first place is trying to keep them out of the United States. Now we these Iraqis fleeing into the U.S. are being portrayed as terrorists, as this article somehow implies:

The FBI is investigating an alleged human smuggling operation based in Chaparral, N.M., that agents say is bringing "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico.

An FBI intelligence report distributed by the Washington, D.C. Joint Terrorism Task Force, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com, says the illegal ring has been bringing Iraqis across the border illegally for more than a year.

Lately there have been warnings about al Qaeda sending agents into the U.S. in order to carry out another 9-11. Is this what the Bushies are talking about? These poor refugees:

The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report.
