"The Middle East is where the Mooslims are" is consistent with the Breitbart world view.

Just like Mexico is apparently an intermediate point, so is the Middle East since many Bangladeshis go through there by being employed as temporary workers in Gulf and arab states.

Headline could be written as "Clear pipeline runs through Middle East and Mexico to Texas".

perhaps people will be scared - at least that's what Trump supporters will believe. Scared people look for a 'strong leader' to protect them and care less about how it is done and how many rights are squashed in the process - until it is too late.

But in all seriousness most likely the travel path of most of those coming from that region probably comes through the Middle East before going to Central/South America. There is a very large population of domestic workers from Bangladesh in Middle Eastern countries and those countries are where many flights from Bangladesh route through.
