I didn't hear anything on the news about this, but it just proves the fact that our borders need to be enforced immediately.

A Mesa man has admitted in federal court that he tried to smuggle an undocumented immigrant from Iran across the U.S.-Mexico border.

..According to Monday's plea deal, Malhamdary admitted that around September 2004, he began negotiating with someone to bring a group of Iranian nationals to the U.S. He eventually agreed to supply authentic Iranian passports to the person, who turned out to be an undercover agent with the U.S. Border Patrol, and he would arrange to have the Mexican visas placed into the passports so the Iranians could fly into Mexico.

This Iranian man, Zeayadali Malhamdary, entered our country by crossing the Mexican border illegally in 1998, and was granted refugee status in February 1999. He will be sentenced for these crimes in August.

The thing is, this is one case we've caught. How many more have tried and succeeded? How many more will try? The borders have got to be protected, now more than ever.
