The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee in the U.S Congress, Michael MacCaul voiced his deep concern about Hezbollah operatives entering the country along the U.S. border from San Diego to Texas, noting that "the terrorists are getting help from Mexican drug cartels".

“Hezbollah operatives are here in the United States", McCaul told Team 10, “Hezbollah has a large presence in Latin America”.

His committee released a report titled “Line if the Sand” that details how Hezbollah and other terrorists get onto U.S. soil.

The report states Hezbollah continues having a strong relationship with Venezuela, despite the recent death of President Hugo Chavez.

Iran, a known supporter of Hezbollah, has direct daily flights between Tehran and Caracas. This is happening, says the report, despite claims the flights have stopped. This provides easy access for operatives into the Americas.

The cartels help the terrorists by providing safe passage along their drug and human trafficking routes into and out of the country.

In return, because Hezbollah has connections with banks in the Middle East and other parts of the world, the terrorist group can allegedly move money for the cartels.

“While before they had a relationship about money, finance, the fact they could become operational is very much a national security concern,” McCaul said.
