Today we have a new focus for border policy: terrorism.
While human and drug trafficking are still major concerns and sanctuary cities like New York are feeling the weight of the influx of illegal immigrants, with the surge of terrorism in the Middle East, the attention is now on who is coming across the U.S. southern border—especially after the Day of Jihad showed numerous pro-Palestinian crowds around the world, many of which voiced support for terrorist acts.
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week on unaccompanied minors at the border, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) questioned four federal officials testifying before the committee —representing the Departments of State, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Labor—on the number and whereabouts of illegal immigrants who have entered the United States during the Biden administration—8 million of them. “That’s four Nebraskas” he said.
The officials were either unable or unwilling to answer his questions.
The alarm is being sounded by former border patrol officers about Hamas terrorists potentially crossing the U.S. border. And the government has been releasing thousands of “special interest aliens”—ripe for radicalization—into the United States from Middle Eastern countries. Meanwhile, apprehensions of Chinese nationals, roughly 25,000 individuals, especially unaccompanied military-aged males, has increased by over 1,000 percent, compared to last year.
What is the truth behind the wave of migration to Western countries like the United States? How severe is the threat to national security, and what could be in store for us?
Our guest journalists—all border experts—Jaeson Jones, Randy Clark, and Michael Yon, join us to discuss the dangers of unrestricted border policy.
