share ballistic missile technology with Iran, according to CIA Direc- tor William Burns. In chapter 38 of the book of Eze- kiel, the prophet warns that the


Daily Caller obtained an in- ternal intelligence memoran- dum from the Customs and Border Protection fi eld offi ce in San Diego, warning of po- tential Hezbollah and Hamas infi ltration. “Foreign fi ghters moti-


vated by ideology or merce- nary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the U.S. to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico,” the memo stated, before attaching the uniform patches of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. That report came after the
