I actually like Duncan quite a bit, but he's going off the deep end here.

Quote:"I know that at least ten ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas," Hunter claimed. "There's nobody talking about it."

"If they catch five or ten of them, then you know there's gonna be dozens more that did not get caught by the border patrol,"

DHS Rebuffs Congressman’s Claim ISIS Infiltrating Southern Border

Quote:“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the Southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,” a DHS spokesman said in a statement today. “DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.”

Maybe they were caught near the headless corpses!
Tale of Arizona desert’s decapitated corpses was not true, embattled governor admits

There's a history of Mexican drug cartels beheading police as well as rival gang members. That isn't just an ISIS thing.

Could ISIS come in that way.. I'm sure... Do I think they have?

I'm not willing to bet the farm on it.

No intelligence or no "credible" intelligence? What is their definition of "credible" in that context?

It seems that over the last 15 years you can take the government less and less at their word because they are always bullshitting you.

More 2+2=5 bull****.

"The sky is blue." "No, it isn't."

A radical jihadist screams "Allahu Akbar" as he beheads a woman in Oklahoma. "That isn't terrorism, that's workplace violence."

Name the sources, the locations, the number of ISIS terrorists arrested. "There's no credible intelligence."

Not to mention, the latest and my favorite: "We've got to allow as many flights from West Africa into the USA as possible, to stop Ebola."

You'd expect them to admit it if it's true???

No, I expect a sitting congressmen to put forth names and evidence, if not in public then certainly to the appropriate committees in congress, not to Fox 'news'! He took an oath and it sure looks like he's not following through on it.

This would be a huge national security threat if true.
