Controversial Muslim cleric arrested crossing into U.S. illegally

Although I heard several stories about the guy from California arrested in Detroit on suspicion of attempted mosque bombing, I don't think this one got much coverage.
    "Reporting from San Diego — U.S. border authorities have arrested a controversial Muslim cleric who was deported from Canada to Tunisia three years ago and was caught earlier this month trying to sneak into California in the trunk of a BMW, according to court documents.

    Said Jaziri, the former imam of a Muslim congregation in Montreal, was hidden in a car driven by a San Diego-area man who was pulled over by U.S. Border Patrol agents near an Indian casino east of San Diego on Jan. 11. Jaziri had allegedly paid a Tijuana-based smuggling group $5,000 to get him across the border near Tecate, saying he wanted to be taken to a "safe place anywhere in the U.S."
It's really not that hard for terrorists to cross the border. They've got money, which often the peasants who want a job don't.
