"America’s border with Mexico stretches 1,954 miles, about 61 times longer than Israel’s frontier with Gaza. By comparison, the U.S. population is about 35 times that of Israel while its land mass is about 444 times that of Israel. Israel’s border barrier was swamped in a coordinated military attack, with the bodies of at least 1,500 Hamas terrorists found along the border so far. Meanwhile, the far longer and far more porous U.S.-Mexico border sees a constant stream of illegal migrants, often numbering more than 10,000 in a day.
Since Joe Biden became president in 2021, there have been 1.5 million known “gotaways” on the border, on top of 2.3 million illegal immigrants allowed into America, the majority of whom came over the southern border.
Among that flow of humanity are dangerous people who mean us harm. There were 15 suspects on the FBI’s terror watchlist arrested on the southern border in 2021, 98 in 2022, and 151 so far this year — and those are the dumb terrorists who got caught. In all likelihood, hundreds have eluded detection and are now living in America. Contrast that with 11 terror watchlist arrests on the southern border during the preceding four years under Trump.
Hamas and Hezbollah likely already have dozens of cells in the U.S., mainly for fundraising purposes, some here legally, but many illegally. But these are potentially subject to activation for bloodier assignments, such as attacking synagogues, large outdoor events, airports, and even the electric grid. And, if neither organization wants to blow the cover of their long in-place assets, they are both likely infiltrating terrorists across the border now.
Our main geopolitical rival today is the People’s Republic of China, and we see its actions on our porous border. First, poisons, in the form of fentanyl and fentanyl precursors, have poured into Mexico from China, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Second, some 10,000 military-age Chinese nationals have reportedly crossed the border so far in 2023, a 300 percent increase from the year before. If even a fraction of these young men and women have arrived to fill out a sabotage force in concert with Chinese aggression against Taiwan, we’ll be in a for chaotic and deadly week on the home front at the start of any conflict with China.
The Biden administration’s lax approach to border security exacerbates these existing threats. While Israel adopts a zero-tolerance policy, unwilling to make compromises when national security is at stake, the United States, especially under Biden, has not demonstrated a similar commitment.
Border security is national security."
