Cruz Raises Alert on ‘Immediate Threat’ to U.S. Linked to Biden’s Actions
The Alarming Update on Border Security from Sen. Ted Cruz
In a riveting disclosure, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) cast a spotlight on a chilling incident at the U.S. southern border—a stark reminder of the ever-present threats to national security. The apprehension of a self-proclaimed terrorist member has sent shockwaves across the nation, echoing the need for vigilance and tight border controls.
A Foiled Terrorist Plot Unfolds
It was near El Paso, Texas, that U.S. border officials arrested 22-year-old Lebanese national Basel Bassel Ebbadi on March 9. The young man confessed to agents of his affiliation with Hezbollah, a prominent terrorist organization, and his alarming intent to construct a bomb on American soil.
The Consequences of Open Borders
Sen. Cruz did not mince words on his “Verdict” podcast as he cast blame on current border policy for such security lapses. “That is what happens when Joe Biden and the Democrats open up our southern border,” Cruz remarked, grimly outlining the potentially catastrophic results of a lenient border policy: terrorists such as Hezbollah infiltrating with intentions to harm.
With steadfast concern, Cruz shed light on the concerning trend of individuals on the terror watchlist being apprehended—over “172 people” last year alone. Yet, he quickly underscored a grave concern: the “hundreds of thousands of gotaways,” those who escape detection and thus pose a silent, immediate threat.
The Unseen Danger
“The really serious terrorists are the ones that don’t get apprehended,” Cruz cautioned, highlighting the shadowy presence of possible terrorists who may be entering undetected. He voiced his fears candidly, warning of the possibility of attacks that could dwarf the horror of past tragedies.
Further underscoring the urgency, Cruz pointed to the alarming statistic of “59 additional illegal aliens” already caught this fiscal year who featured on the notorious terrorist watchlist.
