'Asylum-Seekers' From Syria Kitted Out In 5.11 Tactical Gear

When border czar Kamala Harris was put in charge of finding the "root causes" of illegal immigration, she visited Central America. At the time it seemed like it was mostly Latinos from Mexico and Central America walking across the U.S. border seeking "asylum." But as we've learned from Fox News' Bill Melugin, these asylum seekers are coming from all around the world — they're not walking here in caravans wearing matching "Biden Let Us In" T-shirts. Word is out that if you cross over from Mexico to the United States, you're in. That's why you have well-dressed refugees from Africa and China flying to Mexico and then dragging their luggage across the border. Fox News' Griff Jenkins reports that along with an influx of Chinese, they encountered three men from Syria — a state sponsor of terror — hiking through Jacumba, California.

Griff Jenkins @GriffJenkins: “In addition to the influx of Chinese, Fox encountered 3 Syrian men in Jacumba, CA. They will receive additional screening when they are processed because Syria is designated by the U.S. as a “state sponsor of terror.”” -- “Additional screening” is what we get if we forget to remove laptops from our bags for TSA 🤷‍♀️ I hope theirs is somewhat more involved? There is no real screening system in place for migrants from countries designed state sponsors of terror. Who does CBP call to vet migrants from places such as Syria or Afghanistan. The Taliban? Kind of weird when these “refugees” show up not only from a terrorist country but wearing fairly expensive (not quite Patagucci but close) gear commonly worn by American military particularly in the counterterrorism field? What a crazy coincidence!

A lot of people noticed that. 5.11 Tactical "is an American apparel brand of outdoor clothing, footwear, uniforms and tactical equipment, primarily targeting the market of military, law enforcement and public safety personnel," reads Wikipedia. What a crazy coincidence that gear normally worn by American military especially those in the counterterrorism universe mysteriously shows up on a bunch of Syrian refugees. How weird and coincidental! Remarkably clean for someone who trekked thousands of miles through Mexico.
