Fox News (EXCLUSIVE): 'Big Mexican Women' Are Helping Afghan Soldiers Go AWOL In U.S.!
EXCLUSIVE: 'BMWs' Help Afghans Go AWOL From Texas Air Base


By Jana Winter

Published July 20, 2010

...............

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.

3. I don't know if that's a good idea
Something tells me the thing they're smoking will either do permanent neurological damage with only a couple puffs and/or comes from some long-extinct organism.

11. There are no English language classes in Afghanistan?
Anyone else outraged by this obvious waste of tax dollars? They have to come HERE to learn English?

12. Right
And when some Big Mexican Women and a bunch of Afghan nationals show up at our border - we'll just let 'em in.

Curses! Those BMW's fool us every time.

16. Who of us ever imagined there was another step beyond delusional, psychopathic, lying,
anti-human nuttery. Seems they are more creative (in the insane way) than I thought possible.

26. I'm in tears and my cat is looking at me funny. This would be great satire--
but it's hysterical because it's real.

O. M. G. My stomach hurts.
