Individuals Affiliated with ISIS Flood U.S. Border
A shocking report revealed that an ISIS-linked smuggling network had the ability to stream more than 400 people through the United States southern border on Biden's watch, with the position of over 50 of them presently unknown. Specialists claim Biden’s policies on an open border are increasing the likelihood of a terrorist attack happening on United States soil.
Three United States officials told reporters recently that 150 of them were arrested, and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is presently trying to find the rest of the people. According to Alejandro Mayorkas, Homeland Security Secretary, during an appearance on MSNBC, he said they didn’t have any proof that they are people plotting to harm the U.S. That it is vital to note that the security and safety of America’s people is their greatest priority. He added that they vet and? screen people at the time of crossing. If they discover derogatory data, they take action.
Still, a senior official of the Biden administration stated to NBC News that the ‘possible link to ISIS ... led them to take extra caution, and out of an abundance of care, ensure that they exercised their authority in the most appropriate and expansive way in order to mitigate risk due to the possible connection being made.’
Recently, numerous national security specialists expressed alarm because of the drastic rise in terrorism warning signals, which includes Christine Abizaid (former director of the National Counterterrorism Center),? Erik Kurilla (Commander General of CENTCOM), Merrick Garland (United States Attorney General), and Christopher Wray (Director of FBI).
The SOAA (Special Operations Association of America) that represents the United States military's special forces, this week, added their voice inside a letter emphasizing that the organization was ‘concerned by the present increased risk of terrorist attacks against targets within the U.S. and both United States, as well as allied interests abroad.’
They highlighted Biden's choice to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan as especially catastrophic. According to the letter, the U.S. has lost substantial intelligence collection abilities in the area, which leaves federal authorities deaf and blind to incoming threats emanating from the area. They added that the reestablishment of previous and development of new terrorist training camps in Afghanistan led to deadly, successful strikes by the Islamic State's regional branch against those in Russia, Iran and elsewhere, adding more credence to the idea that America is at risk.
The Special Operations Association of America went on to state the border as being an additional area of critical concern. According to SOAA, this risk is worsened by developments inside the Middle East and the unsecured, porous U.S. southern border through which they’ve seen a number of cases of people on terrorist watchlists and other individuals from adversarial countries try to enter America -- and those people are the ones they know about only because those individuals were detected. They don’t know how many additional terrorists are already presently inside America.

In statements to reporters, William G. Boykin, retired Lieutenant general, a 36-year Army vet who presently serves as executive VP at Family Research Council, wasn’t surprised by reports of ISIS-affiliated activity near the border.
He explained that the infiltration by terrorist groups isn’t something new. Ever since Biden entered the White House, there has been a consistent influx of criminals -- in addition to terrorists -- coming into the country. It isn’t possible to tell just how many of them actually entered into the U.S. since Biden took office; however, the intelligence community and law enforcement have been alert to the problem. In his view, it’s a reminder of the importance of closing the borders and to quit permitting such individuals to enter the U.S. when we know that they’re a severe threat to America’s national security.
Bob Maginnis, retired Lieutenant Colonel agreed with Boykin's assessment.
He stated that the United States, starting with Obama, battled ISIS mainly in Syria, Iraq, and more recently inside Afghanistan. But, although they continuously pressure the radical group with their troops on the ground inside the Mideast, the terrorist network steadily wanted to bring the battle to the homeland of America.?
He added that unfortunately, Biden's policy on the open border has arguably invited a cross-section of bad actors within the U.S. and inevitably some individuals have terrorists related to ISIS. It’s just a matter of time before the sleeper cells currently inside the U.S. gain the means and knowledge to develop yet another September 11th of 2001 'Black Swan' event.
