Iranians flood across Iraq border unchecked by military

Iraqi border officials have admitted that buses full of Iranians routinely enter the country without passports or other official identification, despite Baghdad’s attempts to clamp down on terrorist infiltration.

Col Jassem al-Qabi, the regional border guard commander in a remote stretch of southern Iraq, said that scores of Iranians enter every day.

‘Sometimes a bus-load of Iranian pilgrims will come to the border, with perhaps 45 people on board, and only one will have a passport,’ he said.

Sounds like they’ve got the equivalent of our Mexican border over there.
