After Israel Attack, GOP Warns of Terror in U.S. Due to Biden’s Open Border
[ad_1]
Republican officials are slamming President Joe Biden’s “asinine” open border policies that have allowed in “military aged men from all corners of the world,” warning of potential terror attacks in the U.S. and the likelihood of terrorist “sleeper cells” as they point to the recent brutal attacks in Israel that saw terrorists breach the border and murder hundreds of Israeli civilians while taking dozens as hostages, warning, “Today it’s Israel, tomorrow it’s us.”
Highlighting Israel’s costly failure to secure its border over the weekend, Republicans are speaking out on the increasing threat of terrorism on U.S. soil due to poor border security that has already seen an unprecedented amount of people on the terrorist watchlist caught attempting to cross the southern border, leading to concerns of untold amounts of others who have managed to successfully infiltrate the country.
“Now is the time for bold action,” declared former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). “Here’s how America must meet the moment: 1. Rescue all American hostages 2. Provide full support for our ally Israel 3. Confront Iran and the new Axis of Evil 4. Focus on securing our own open border 5. Condemn antisemitism in the United States.”

“We should wake up ourselves. We could have the same thing happen next week to us,” McCarthy noted. “We caught more people on the terrorist watchlist in February than we caught in the entire administration. We could have cells sitting inside of America right now.”
“The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA, through our TOTALLY OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER, at Record Numbers,” former President Donald Trump wrote. “Are they planning an attack within our Country? Crooked Joe Biden and his BOSS, Barack Hussein Obama, did this to us!”

Calling to cut off any and all types of foreign aid flowing to Hamas, Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called on America to “immediately shut down America’s wide-open southern border to ensure we are in a position to better protect Americans here at home from these real threats.”
One of our greatest allies, Israel, has been attacked by terrorists funded by Iran – with over 800 Israelis murdered and 2,000 injured. The scenes of brutality are hard to watch. Innocent men, women, children, and the elderly.
And we learned this morning that among these victims…

U.S. Congressman Cory Mills (R-FL) chimed in:
Thanks to Biden’s open borders there’s been hundreds cross[ing] into the US that we know were on terrorist watch lists. Millions of military aged males ha[ve] poured across our borders. Not refugees with women and children, and not just from Central/ S. America. We must immediately shutdown our borders!

“Do you think our enemies, knowing that we have an open border, are not taking advantage of that?” DeSantis told a crowd in Iowa Monday, as he warned, “there’s going to be a terrorist attack in this country that we’re going to be able to trace back to the southern border.”

“There’s a history of Iran’s IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] working with the Mexican drug cartels to infiltrate our open border,” wrote Congressman Michael Waltz (R-FL), a former Green Beret who still serves in the U.S. Army National Guard. “They could be doing it again right now as we speak.”

“The Biden team is well aware that terrorists on the Watch List have entered the United States through the open southern border….they are undoubtedly laying low now but you can be sure they will strike us,” wrote former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell. “We are less safe under Joe Biden.”

The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) wrote in a post:
Our Nation is not immune to an attack on our homeland—similar to what Israel faces now. Since the beginning of the Biden Administration, we’ve had at least 264 known or suspected terrorists caught at the border plus at least 1.7 MILLION known gotaways that have snuck in.
“Our border is wide open, and all Americans are at risk!” the think tank added.

“Is America next?” asked Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX).
“The horrific invasion and attack on Israel should be a terrifying reminder to all of our leaders, military, and citizens, that for 3 years, our southern border has been invaded by military aged men from all corners of the world.”
“After watching the heartbreaking images and videos coming out of Israel, I’m now convinced the next attack on America’s homeland will be worse than what we saw in September of 2001,” he added, as he called for real measures “to end the invasion of our country.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) asked:
Since the Biden admin’s open border policies has allowed our country to be invaded by millions of unknown people from over 160 countries, including terrorists, will the Biden FBI keep targeting Jan 6, 2021 protestors or will they question any of the Pro-Hamas protesters and their connections since they were out using their free speech against Israel today?

“Key lesson for America to learn from the attack on Israel: we cannot be complacent about defending *our own* borders. If it can happen there, it can happen here,” Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote. “Our own border is near-completely porous right now. The Southern Border is a disaster & I visited the Northern Border yesterday which is wide-open for invasion.”
He added:
Hamas picked a moment when Israel is deeply divided over domestic politics, as we are now here at home. Our own foreign policy establishment has focused on distant foreign priorities while leaving us badly vulnerable on border defense, cyber and super-EMP defense, nuclear missile defense, and space-based defenses. We can’t lose sight of that & should use the attacks on Israel as a wake-up call here at home.

According to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report reviewed by Breitbart Texas, 61,471 migrants from “Special Interest Countries” entered the United States in Fiscal Year 2023.
A source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed that most of the migrants, mainly single adult males from countries subject to travel warnings by the U.S. State Department due to terrorism, were released into the United States to pursue asylum claims.
Meanwhile, President Biden’s administration is overseeing a surge in illegal aliens crossing the United States-Mexico border who are on the government’s “Terrorist Watch List.”
EXCLUSIVE: 2,000 Migrants Cross into Texas Border by Early Afternoon, At Least 1,500 More Expected
Randy Clark / Breitbart Texas
Since October 2022, Biden’s DHS has encountered 149 illegal aliens at the nation’s northern and southern borders who were revealed to be listed on the federal government’s Terrorist Watch List.
According to an interim report assembled by GOP House Judiciary Committee staff, the Biden administration is potentially failing to track millions of migrants who have illegally entered through the southern border as monthly encounters surge.
