‘Quran Books’ Found Along Mexican Border… http://t.co/hOA4XuWeWN

The story itself makes no mention of Korans but alleges that Muslim items were found. No photos or other evidence. Let’s just say I’m suspect that this is what they’re claiming.

Never mind that Midland, Texas is about 200 miles to the border. Yet, the sheriff there is claiming the following:

Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter said that law enforcement agencies along the “wide open” border have received alerts to be on the lookout for terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria crossing into the United States.

Painter, who said he has worked along the border for “about eight years,” stated that alerts have been issued to border law enforcement to be on the lookout for suspicious terrorist activity, specifically involving ISIS cells being smuggled into the United States.

“I received an intelligence report that said that there was ISIS cells that were active in the Juarez area, which is the northern part of the Chihuahua state, and that they were moving around over there, that there was some activity…” Painter told Fox News. The report asked “for the sheriffs along the border to be on the alert, for all law enforcement to be on the alert, and to be on the lookout for these people maybe trying to come across.”

Yet, where’s the actual evidence of these alerts, warnings, texts, or other statements.

What’s more troubling is that ISIS could quite likely get a convert in the US to come over to their worldview, and that person would then carry out attacks - all without having to bother with a border crossing.

It’s the lone wolf scenario, which is far more difficult for LEOs to detect. But to Fox, it’s all about securing the border - even though no one among them offers up how to pay for any/all of it.
