FBI Director Wray: Immigration and Rising Terrorism Concerns

FBI Director Wray: Immigration and Rising Terrorism Concerns

Hold onto your hats, patriots! The situation at our southern border isn’t just a crisis anymore; it’s become a full-blown national security nightmare. While the mainstream media is busy debating the color of Biden’s ice cream cone, we’re here to serve you the cold, hard facts about the real threat facing our great nation. Buckle up, because this story might just make your blood boil faster than a Texas summer.

The Border Crisis: By the Numbers

Let’s cut to the chase. The Southwest border is in chaos, and the numbers don’t lie. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2021, a staggering 294 individuals on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended trying to sneak into our country. But here’s the kicker: that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Border Patrol agents are reporting more than 1.7 million known “gotaways”—illegal aliens who’ve managed to slip past our overwhelmed border security. And experts suggest the real number could be 20% higher. That’s potentially millions of unvetted individuals roaming freely in our communities.

The Terrorism Threat: A Growing Concern

FBI Director Christopher Wray isn’t mincing words about the gravity of the situation. He’s sounding the alarm on the rising insertion of terrorists into the U.S. through our porous immigration system. And it’s not just a handful of bad apples we’re talking about.

“I am increasingly concerned that foreign terrorists could seek to exploit vulnerabilities at our southwest border or at other ports of entry or other aspects of our immigration system to facilitate an attack here in the United States.” – Christopher A. Wray, FBI Director

The Biden administration has reportedly released at least 99 illegal immigrants whose identities match the terrorism watch list. These individuals hail from 36 countries, including known terror hotspots like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. It’s like we’re rolling out the red carpet for potential threats to our national security.

The Domino Effect: Drugs, Gangs, and More

The border crisis isn’t just about potential terrorists. It’s a multi-faceted threat to our way of life. In fiscal year 2023 alone, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested 35,433 illegal aliens with criminal convictions and 598 known gang members. That’s an army of criminals knocking on our door.

“Border security is national security, and right now, the border is not secure. When upwards of two million people have entered our country, whom we know nothing about, we are at deadly risk.” – Chairman Mark E. Green, MD

And let’s not forget about the drugs. CBP reported seizing 27,293 pounds of fentanyl, but experts estimate that’s only 5-10% of the total amount being smuggled across the border. The result? Over 100,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses in the past year, mostly due to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.

The border crisis has forced the closure of interior security checkpoints, further hampering efforts to intercept drugs and criminal aliens. It’s a perfect storm of security failures that’s putting every American at risk.
