OTMs From 148 Countries Illegally Crossed America's Borders Last Year

OTMs (Other than Mexicans) pose a threat because they come from countries with high terrorist activity such as Iran, Pakistan, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon and because they might be violent fugitives fleeing from law enforcement officials. For example, border agents caught number 17 on Mexico’s most wanted list last year. Also, a brutal gang from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, MS -13, has members terrorizing citizens across California and citizens in 32 other states. 10News.com, 2-17-07.
