From Fox News.

A loose network of Mexican-American women, some of whom may be illegal immigrants, have been responsible for helping numerous Afghan military deserters go AWOL from an Air Force Base in Texas, FoxNews.com has learned.

Many of the Afghans, with the women's assistance, have made their way to Canada; the whereabouts of others remain unknown. Some of the men have been schooled by the women in how to move around the U.S. without any documentation.

The Afghan deserters refer to the women as "BMWs" — Big Mexican Women — and they often are the first step in the Afghans' journey from Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, to Canada, a diplomatic official told FoxNews.com. He requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly during an ongoing investigation by U.S. and international authorities into who helped the Afghans leave the Defense Language Institute’s English Language Center at Lackland.

The official's account was supported by a source at the Defense Language Institute (DLI), who also requested anonymity. Foreign soldiers attend DLI to learn English before they receive specialized military training at various installations in the U.S.

The Afghan military men usually meet the women at three nightclubs in San Antonio, according to the DLI source, who accompanied some of the men to these locations and has been privy to discussions among them about the establishments and the women. The nightclubs include two military hangouts — Tiffany’s Cocktails and Mirage, located outside Lackland's main gate — and Graham Central Station, a massive warehouse-like building in downtown San Antonio that houses "six nightclubs under one roof" that host a variety of theme nights. Photos on Graham Central's website show scantily clad women rolling around in what appears to be Jell-O.

I can't wait for the movie to come out.

So the Afghans are coming here to learn English and be trained for the military but are deserting because they don't want to return home. So if we know this is happening then why don't we end the program and ship them home now. How do we know that they are not sent here to desert because they are terrorists.

I really wish we would stop helping the world and help the US instead. We are spending so much to help others that our country is now partially owned by foreign governments. If we don't get this country back on track soon we won't have to worry about our military protecting us from invasion. Our own government is slowly selling us off piece by piece.

As far as the big Mexican women--what's in it for them? Someone must be paying them off and it's not these Afghan military soldiers. Someone is paying big bucks to help them escape!

not that I trust fox news,, so I will have to research further

but this was a concern of mine when it comes to being so neutral about illegal immigrants because of humane reasons,,,


yes they are human, but the laws and regulations are in place for a reason,,,,you wouldnt want just ANYONE being able to walk up in your home why should just ANYONE be permitted to come across the borders

there are checks and balances to make sure self dependent and safe people come in(just like we do in our homes),,,,getting so lax about who is coming could open the doors for alot of DANGEROUS collaberation between nations to come take this country over


not prone to paranoia, but it is a concern I have,,,
