Sens. John Barrasso, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Pete Ricketts held a press conference after visiting the southern border, where they emphasized the urgent need to address illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Ricketts expressed concern that the lack\u2063 of border security\u200d leaves the\u200c United States vulnerable to a potential terrorist attack. Barrasso highlighted the alarming fact that some immigrants apprehended at the border were found to be in possession of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illegals-caught-with-explosives-tailored-for-terrorism-have-gop-raising-new-alarms-on-bidens-risky-border-policies\/\" title=\"GOP raises new alarms on Biden's risky border policies as illegals caught with terrorism-tailored explosives.\">explosive devices specifically designed<\/a> for terrorism, as reported by \u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/gop-senators-bash-bidens-policies-trip-border-increased-threat-terrorist-attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn acknowledged the importance of trade with Mexico for the economy but criticized President\u200d Biden for outsourcing immigration policy to criminal organizations. He expressed concern that U.S. Customs and \u200cBorder Protection lacks sufficient knowledge about the individuals crossing the border, \u2062including those who manage to evade\u200c capture.<\/p>\n<p>According to Cornyn, there have been over a million and a half individuals detected on cameras and sensors who have successfully evaded Border Patrol. \u200dHe suggested that many of these &#8220;gotaways&#8221; may be involved \u200cin smuggling illegal drugs like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/republican-shouts-3-words-top-lungs-biden-mentions-fentanyl-deaths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fentanyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cornyn \u200cexpressed even \u200bgreater concern about the potential for radicalized terrorists to enter the country illegally through the southern border. He cited the recent attack in Israel as a reminder of the threat posed by terrorist organizations \u2064and questioned the Biden administration&#8217;s ability to track\u200b and apprehend such individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz added that Border\u200b Patrol agents are frustrated with the Biden administration&#8217;s policies, which result in the release of illegal immigrants after agents have risked their lives to detain them. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn \u2063also highlighted the issue, revealing that 18 individuals on the terrorist watchlist were stopped from crossing into the United States illegally.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Potential terrorists are attempting to cross our southern \u2063border.<\/p>\n<p>In September \u200dalone, 18 illegal immigrants on the terror watchlist were caught \u200bat the border.<\/p>\n<p>The attack on Israel should serve \u200cas a warning as \u200cto why we must secure the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sen.

According to immigration expert David Bier, the vast \u2062majority of individuals \u200bcrossing the border are seeking \u2064economic opportunities and freedom, \u2062rather than intending to \u2063commit\u200c acts of terrorism or seize control of the country.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>A Note from Our Founder:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>Silicon Valley and the Big Tech tyrants have done everything they can to put The Western Journal\u200d out of business.\u2064 Our <\/b><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/subscribe\/?utm_source=site&#038;utm_medium=westernjournalism&#038;;utm_campaign=authorpitch\"><em><b>faithful members<\/b><\/em><\/a><em><b>  have kept us going.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>If you\u2019ve never chosen to become \u200da member, let me be honest: <\/b><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/subscribe\/?utm_source=site&#038;utm_medium=westernjournalism&#038;utm_campaign=authorpitch\"><em><b>We need your help today<\/b><\/em><\/a><em><b>.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/subscribe\/?utm_source=site&#038;utm_medium=westernjournalism&#038;utm_campaign=authorpitch\"><b>Join right now<\/b><\/a><em><b>  \u2013 The Western Journal stands for truth in this difficult time.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Please stand with us by becoming\u2062 a member today.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Floyd G.
