ICYMI: Rubio: Open Border Is Open Door to ISIS
Biden’s open border lets ISIS walk right into US
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
May 20, 2024
…President Joe Biden’s illegal immigration policies are giving ISIS-K clear access to the homeland, raising the threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.
Just look at recent press reports of ISIS-K affiliates crossing the southern border…. The Biden Administration only tracked [ISIS-K-tied illegal immigrant Jovokhir Attoev] down last month, which means he flew under the radar inside the United States for two years…. [And] it took 13 months for law enforcement to confirm [Hezb-e-Islami-tied illegal immigrant Mohammad Kharwin’s] presence on the FBI’s watch list and arrest him.
These examples are disturbing enough, but they are just a drop in the bucket compared to the threat posed by terrorists who have entered the United States and remain undetected…. Since President Biden took office, CBP has recorded more than 9 million encounters with people who have entered the United States illegally…. There is no telling exactly how many affiliates of ISIS-K or other terror groups are now living among us.
Things look even grimmer when you consider the public reporting that foreign smugglers with ISIS ties have facilitated illegal immigration at the southern border….
The answer to this problem is simple: secure the border and enforce America’s immigration laws. Yet,…President Biden has done nothing to reverse the open-border policies he campaigned on and spent the last three years enacting. This is unacceptable and places American lives in jeopardy….
We’re playing right into the hands of terrorists who seek our destruction. I hope and pray I’m wrong, but I fear that under this administration’s policies, we are sitting ducks….
