http://www.mystatesman.com/news/news/state-regional/dps-chief-no-terrorist-has-crossed-the-texas-mexic/njLtC/Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw on Thursday said there is no credible information that a terrorist has crossed or will cross the Texas-Mexico border, but that it is important to continue monitoring the area.
State leaders have raised the specter of terrorists crossing the border because of lax federal border security. U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., went so far as to say that at least 10 Islamic State fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas. (PolitiFact Texas rated that statement as Pants on Fire.)
