Biden’s border actions endanger the entire nation, not just Texas

The Border Crisis: A⁤ Threat to National Security

“The last three ⁣years, you’ve had 336 known ⁤or ‌suspected terrorists arrested between entry points ‍in the southern border. If you ⁣take the past⁤ four years, fiscal year ’17, ’18, ’19, ‌and ’20, you had​ 14. So, that caused us, from my perspective, sleepless nights.”

These alarming words were not spoken by ⁣Texas Gov. Greg⁣ Abbott, the staunch defender of our nation’s southern border, but by Tim Healy, the​ former director of the⁤ FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center under President Obama. Healy also emphasized that the demographics ​of the group crossing the border have changed, with adult males now outnumbering children and family members.

But it’s‍ not just adult males who may be crossing⁤ the border as suspected terrorists. Chinese nationals have become the fastest-growing group of smuggled‌ individuals.⁣ While some claim they are seeking better work opportunities, there is evidence of Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations⁢ operating within our borders.

This chaos⁣ is a direct result of President Biden’s border policy. While⁣ all states have⁢ the constitutional right to protect their borders, ⁣the situation in ‍Texas, ​the epicenter of this invasion, ‌is beyond absurd to ignore. Other states must also recognize how this surge ⁢affects them.

Colorado ​is struggling to allocate funds in its budget to handle the influx‍ of illegal ⁣immigrants. Maine is dealing with an abundance⁣ of illegal marijuana grow⁤ sites.​ Students in New York were forced​ into remote learning as ⁣their school was turned into a shelter. In Chicago, a group advocating‌ for reparations⁤ for black ‍people accuses Mayor Brandon Johnson of prioritizing immigrants over citizens.

Thankfully, Texas ⁤and Abbott ⁣are not alone in their fight. ⁤Seventeen states have joined forces with ‌Texas, and even⁤ President Biden, ‌or whoever is running his administration, is reportedly planning to issue an ‌executive order to regain control ​of ⁤the border.

However, this‌ order⁢ should not be seen as a mere political move to address Biden’s weakness‌ on the issue. It should be a genuine effort to end this humanitarian​ and national security crisis.

A nation without a border⁣ is not a nation; ⁢it’s just a mass of land. A nation that cannot control the ⁣flow ‌of criminals coming in‌ is not serious about protecting its own citizens. A nation that enables criminal cartels to profit from the suffering of vulnerable individuals seeking‍ a better life is⁤ not behaving ​in ⁢a humanitarian way.

The ⁤numbers speak for themselves. The stories of‌ fruit going unpicked or suburban landscaping left unattended are distractions from the real issue. We are facing ‍an onslaught⁢ of people who do not share⁢ our values and, at worst, ​wish to see our destruction.

If it weren’t for Texas and the other ⁤states standing alongside her, as well as citizens across‌ the ​country who refuse to be treated as second-class, there⁢ might be⁣ no stopping this ⁣crisis. This is not about political divides; it’s about protecting our sovereign‌ nation from the south.

It’s time for the Biden administration to stop ⁤playing politics and fulfill its duty to protect ​the⁣ citizens​ of this country. While women and children deserve compassion, the flood of potential criminals‍ poses a serious threat. Strong borders make good neighbors, and sometimes, those borders need reinforced measures.

He co-hosts the podcast ‍ Coffee & Cochon and can be found on ⁢ Facebook and ⁣ Twitter. However, it is advisable to limit‌ social media usage.

How has ​the increase in ⁤apprehensions ​of known ⁣or suspected terrorists ⁢at the southern border impacted our national security, and what steps can be ​taken to address this ‍issue effectively?

Address the crisis. However, it‌ is important to acknowledge that this crisis is not limited to immigration issues. It poses a significant threat to our national security.

The‌ increase in apprehensions of known or suspected terrorists⁣ at the southern border‌ is deeply concerning. The fact‌ that there were 336 such arrests in just the ⁢last three years is indicative of the severity of the problem. This is not a hypothetical threat, but a ‍real one that keeps those responsible for our national security up at night.

Furthermore, the demographics of those crossing the border have shifted. It is no longer ⁤just children and ⁣family members seeking a⁢ better life, but adult males who now outnumber them. This change in demographics raises questions ​about the intentions and motivations of those attempting⁣ to enter our country illegally.

Among those who are crossing the border as suspected terrorists, Chinese nationals have ⁢become the fastest-growing group. While some may ⁢argue that they are simply seeking better work opportunities, there is evidence of Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations operating within our borders. This poses a significant risk to our national security and demands ⁤immediate⁢ attention.

It is important to recognize that this crisis ​is a direct result‍ of President Biden’s border policy. ‌While all states have the constitutional right to protect ‌their borders, the situation in Texas, the epicenter of⁣ this invasion, cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the consequences of this crisis extend far beyond the borders of Texas. States such ⁢as Colorado, Maine, New York, and ⁣Chicago are already feeling the effects in various ways.

These ‍states are struggling to allocate funds, ‍handle illegal‌ immigration, tackle illegal drug operations, and even provide education ⁢to their‍ own citizens due to the​ overwhelming influx of⁣ illegal immigrants. This⁣ is not simply an immigration issue; ‍it is an issue that affects the well-being and livelihoods of American citizens.

Fortunately, Texas and⁢ Governor Abbott are not‌ alone in their fight. ​Seventeen states have joined forces with Texas​ to address this crisis. Even President Biden, or whoever is running his ⁤administration, is reportedly planning to address the situation. However, it is essential that these efforts focus not only​ on immigration⁢ policy but‍ also on protecting⁢ our national security.

The border crisis is a threat to our national security that ⁣cannot be ignored. It requires a comprehensive and immediate response from all levels of government. We must secure our borders, address the influx of ⁢suspected⁣ terrorists, and dismantle criminal organizations operating within our borders. Failure to⁢ do so not only puts American lives at risk but also undermines the very⁣ foundations of our nation. It is time to prioritize the safety and security of our country and our citizens.
