    I dont think we should be as concerned about radical Islamists openly invading from the south as we should be about the less "sexy" scenario of our socialist government trying to change the population of this country to one that is accepting of oppression (so long as there is security) so as to better gain control.

    I agree. It's a concern, but also a distraction for the Great OZ and what he is trying to accomplish.

    Mexico can't stop 100's of thousands of unarmed women, children, and peasants from traversing their country to get to our border so a division of heavily armed radical Moslems would get here in a cake walk. Initial advances into Texas would be relatively unopposed as the border areas have a higher percentage of residents who are here for the money and not for any particular love of country so initial resistance would be light as Obama golfs and Kerry sends out diplomatic feelers. I assume their targets would be the South Texas 1 and 2 nuclear power plants in Baytown or the refineries on the Houston shipping channel in order hold America hostage so it would be a dash by the Arabs to take and hold their targets. Once safely ensconced in the nuclear power plants they would be safe from air and ground attack and would surround themselves with hundreds of hostages. Same with the oil refineries. It's about 400 hundred miles from McAllen to Bay Town so ISIS would send an initial heavily armed assault group to take an hold their objectives while the main party followed closely behind. Feints would be sent up other corridors in Texas to sow panic and clog all the highways with refugees while disguising their actual objectives. In 8 hours, it would all be over. Allah Akbar bitches!

    Is this a joke or serious?

    We seem to be forgetting about Air power here. Remember desert storm and the Highway to Irag. I did not see any heavily armored vehicles Isis has . Toyota Hi-Lux does not Stand a chance against a fighter wing. I am pretty sure we would retain Air superoirity over the US.

    Hell, that Toyota Hi-Lux wouldn't stand a chance against someone with a scoped .308 from 500 yards.......:beat:

    A few million immigrants from a oppressive corrupt country who have now had a taste of freedom and a means of defending themselves just might have a response.

    I could be wrong.

    I was simply working with the OP's premise of a hypothetical incursion by an ISIS-ish group. I don't think there's a snowball's chance in Hell of it actually happening though. It was simply an exercise in what-ifs.

    That's the REAL threat to America right there.

    That and/or the ability to achieve power via our civil institutions. Hadji himself doesn't scare me very much, the deferential fashion and/or the double standard applied to the islamic ideology relative to other faiths or political affiliations does worry me. Those 8th century throwbacks achieve any political power in this country via our civil institutions or via the law, and they can create a genuine horror such as you posited. Use government power against the public, then massacre them, same damn thing happened in germany.
