Mohamad Kamal Elzahab, 44, of Lebanon paid a drug-addicted stripper in El Paso $5000 to marry him so he could get a green card.

That right there should be enough to earn him an instant one-way ticket back to Lebanon.

But there’s more to the story:

Federal investigators say Elzahabi has acknowledged attending a jihad training camp, being a sniper in Afghanistan and helping train a group seeking to overthrow the Lebanese government.

OK…now it sounds like a better case for immediate deportation to Guantanamo Bay. And they should send his hooker/wife with him for helping him to game the system.

Elzahab was first arrested back in 2004 in Minnesota on a material witness warrant in a terrorism investigation. He was convicted of possessing fraudulent immigration documents by a federal jury in August 2007.

How seriously screwed up are our immigration and immigration enforcement policies? How the hell is this guy still in our country four years later? He should have been on a slow boat back to Lebanon more than 4 years ago.

Seriously wrong. And seriously infuriating.

  1. I don’t get it…at all.

  2. The way I see it if we deport everyone that should be deported the Librats would not be in office. It’s definitely FUBAR and going to get worse on 01/20/09.

  3. We, for reasons I don’t get, release these people who cross-their-heart-hope-to-die promise to return home to East Armpitistan on their own.

    Here’s my solution. We lock them up and ship them back ourselves. We then deduct the amount of money it took to capture, try, and return the person from any foreign aid to said country. I think this would work wonders with our neighbor to the south.

  4. It’s simple, really. The GOP nativist base wants immigration enforcement focused on millions of Mexican and Latin American workers who aren’t harming public safety. If immigration policy focused on real safety threats instead of economic protectionism, it’d be a lot easier to target cases with alleged terrorism components like this one.
