He highlights\u2064 that \u200cover 7 million people have \u200battempted \u2063to enter the \u200ccountry without authorization\u2064 during Biden&#8217;s tenure, putting American citizens\u200c at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Pfluger,\u2062 chairman of\u200c the House \u200bHomeland\u2063 Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Counterterrorism, and Law Enforcement, \u200cemphasizes the need to recognize the\u2063 failure to secure the border and take action.<\/p>\n<h3>Border Patrol Overwhelmed<\/h3>\n<p>The situation at the southern border has overwhelmed\u2062 the 19,000-person\u200c Border \u2062Patrol. Due to \u200da shortage of \u200dagents, many illegal immigrants have been able to enter the country and evade capture. Mexican smuggling organizations, known as cartels, exploit\u200b this \u200dsituation to divert \u200cagents for their \u200cown advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Green warns that these policies are disastrous from a\u2063 national security perspective, allowing\u2064 1.6 million known individuals to enter\u2064 the country, \u2062some of whom could be\u2064 bad\u200c actors.<\/p>\n<h3>Record Number of Terror Watch List Encounters<\/h3>\n<p>Border Patrol agents have encountered 151\u200c non-U.S. citizens on the FBI&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-delegation-calls-on-biden-to-take-action-at-border\/\" title=\"GOP delegation calls on Biden to take action at border\">terror watch list<\/a>, the highest annual\u2062 number in the agency&#8217;s history. This\u200b surpasses \u200bprevious records and highlights the seriousness of the\u200d threat posed by terrorists attempting to cross\u2062 the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, \u200bthousands of illegal immigrants from special interest countries, including Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, and Syria,\u2064 have been arrested at \u2063the border.<\/p>\n<h3>Preventing Terrorists from\u200d Entering the United States<\/h3>\n<p>Lawmakers from both parties express a strong desire to prevent\u2064 terrorists from \u200dentering the\u2062 United States, particularly\u200d through \u200dthe southern border. They also acknowledge the \u2063need to pay attention to the\u200b northern border with \u200cCanada, which lacks a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/final-warning-lawmakers-tell-biden-to-secure-us-border-before-terror-attack-at-home\/\" title=\"Lawmakers urge Biden to secure US border to prevent domestic terror attack.\">large-scale government barrier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Clay \u200cHiggins (R-LA) and Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) \u200cboth\u2064 emphasize \u2064the \u2062importance\u200d of securing the border to protect national security.

He emphasizes the\u2064 need\u2064 for increased intelligence sharing and collaboration between U.S. and international security agencies to \u200bidentify and \u200bprevent such threats.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064bipartisan concern about homeland security has also prompted members\u2064 of Congress to push \u2062for enhanced measures to detect and\u2063 intercept individuals who may be affiliated with terrorist \u200corganizations. Representative Michael Guest (R-MS), a member \u2063of the House Committee \u200don Homeland\u2063 Security, calls for increased funding and resources for\u2062 border patrol agents, \u200bas well as improved technological capabilities to enhance border surveillance and identify\u200c potential threats.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers \u2063are demanding that the Biden administration take immediate action to address the vulnerabilities at the\u200d southern border and strengthen\u200b national security measures. They stress\u200d the\u2063 importance of a comprehensive\u2064 approach that includes both \u2062physical barriers and technology-based solutions to ensure \u2063the safety and security of the American people.<\/p>\n<h3>International Cooperation<\/h3>\n<p>An attack orchestrated by a \u200bforeign terrorist organization highlights the interconnectedness of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-host-swedens-prime-minister-at-white-house-as-nordic-country-struggles-to-join-nato\/\" title=\"Biden invites Sweden's PM to White House amid NATO aspirations.\">global security challenges<\/a>.
