"CNSNews.com) – The Iranian-supported Shi’ite terrorist group Hezbollah has spread its influence all the way to the U.S. border with Mexico, a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Iran’s influence in the Western Hemisphere heard on Thursday.
Michael Braun, a former chief of operations at the Drug Enforcement Agency, said Hezbollah had developed relationships with the powerful Mexican drug cartels to “move their agenda forward.” He cited a plot, recently uncovered by the DEA, involving an Iranian operative in Mexico allegedly planning to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, D.C.
“Hezbollah are absolute masters at forming close relationships with existing organized crime groups around the world that helps them facilitate what they need to do to move their agendas forward,” Braun told CNSNews.com following the hearing. “And if anyone thinks for a moment that they don’t have their eye on the southwest border and all of our country, then they couldn’t be more wrong.”

Right here is the reason to get the left out of power.

Just open the door to groups like Hezbollah. That's the only plan he has. Braun's prediction is a cold, hard reality that I think is coming sooner than we think.
Not much being said about immigration since Perry and Arpaio are off the trail. It's like a poison gas you can't see or smell until it's too late. We've got good agents and cops in CO that are working hard to keep it safe. Border security and jobs has to be the focus for Coloradans this time around. Undercover work enhanced, technology increased. It all translates out to more money for more power on the ground.
