In his latest video, investigative journalist and activist James O’Keefe dresses as Osama bin Laden and splashes across a knee-deep river into the United States.
Border patrol agents are nowhere to be seen as the conservative filmmaker aping the dead terrorist crosses the upper Rio Grande.
O’Keefe, known for headline-grabbing probes that often feature disguises and trickery, released the video Monday through his group Project Veritas to illustrate the lack of security along the U.S.-Mexico border in West Texas.
Though most immigrants who cross the southern border without legal permission are citizens of Mexico or other Latin American countries, people from South Asia and Africa are among those recently apprehended, according to press reports.
O’Keefe says he wanted to expose the U.S.’s vulnerability and scoffs at the possibility he violated Mexican laws by entering that country without proper paperwork.
“I had my passport with me, but no one on either side of the border was there to stamp it,” he tells U.S. News. “There are roughly 12 million illegal Mexicans in the United States, so my potentially violating the laws of Mexico would make the net immigration tally 12 million to one.”
