Osama bin Laden instructed his deputies to recruit an operative with a valid Mexican passport who could cross illegally into the United States,...
.....The notes also reflect how Bin Laden’s sometimes tortured religious logic bled into his battlefield orders....
.....In particular, Bin Laden was dismayed to find out that Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani American, had sworn allegiance to the U.S. during a citizenship ceremony just more than a year before he attempted to detonate an SUV loaded with explosives in New York’s Times Square in May 2010.

If somebody had a "valid" passport, why would they enter "illegally" ?
Just get a standard vacation visa and never return.
Or better yet, get a green card and remain under the radar.

Even having a valid green card puts you more on the grid, if there is validity to the report I would assume that bin laden decided this to be the easiest blend of legal immigration and relatively undetectable infiltration.

I was pretty clear in my reason for posting this. The intended topic was the real dangers posed by politicians pandering for votes by keeping the borders open. It's also about the real victims of their madness and lust for power at any cost.
What purpose would the passport serve ?
I'm not that far from the border and the word around here is that the Mexicans are already leaving in droves. Please don't fence them in.

The ones looking for employment are (somewhat).
The ones running the drugs and paramilitary campaigns against law enforcement officers in the region, however, are running as rampant as ever (if not more).

Then why not simply cross the border with a bunch of others ?
10's of millions have done that already.... all undetected on top of it.
