In an interview on Fox \u200dNews&#8217;s America Reports, Ramaswamy referred to the northern border \u2063as the &#8220;new\u200c frontier of the border crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;The \u200cNorthern Border\u200d Crisis: A Mounting Threat&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have been sounding\u2064 the\u200b alarm\u200d bell about the northern border for a \u2062long time. I\u2062 visited the northern border\u200b earlier \u2014 I&#8217;m the\u2063 only presidential candidate to\u200c do it. That\u2019s where \u200dthe new frontier of the \u200cborder \u200dcrisis \u2063is actually going. We have \u200ca bad crisis at the northern border,&#8221;\u200b Ramaswamy expressed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More \u200cfentanyl\u200b was captured at the northern\u2064 border last year\u2063 than could kill 3 million Americans. And, in fact, in New Hampshire last fall, there\u200b was a Brazilian ex-military man who was captured and apprehended who had killed 11 people. So, this is a\u200d mounting crisis. We are ignoring\u2062 it. The crisis at the southern border\u200c needs to\u200c be dealt with,\u200c but it can&#8217;t cause complacency to the northern border either. I think it\u2019s sad\u200c what\u2019s happening,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When questioned about reports suggesting that\u2064 the explosion originated from the U.S. side\u2062 of the\u200d border checkpoint, \u200dRamaswamy acknowledged \u2063that the situation is \u200cstill unfolding \u2062but stressed the importance of\u200d increasing \u200dsecurity measures at the northern border checkpoints.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;Border Security: A Comprehensive Approach&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;These\u200c are facts that are evolving in real-time. But I want\u200d to take \u200bthe lessons \u200dwe \u200bcan learn early on. \u200cThe security at that\u200b northern \u200cborder \u2014 \u200cI\u2064 visited those CBP \u2062stations \u2014\u2062 it\u2019s not nearly as serious\u200c as the southern border, and I think we need to take that more seriously. Border security goes for all security \u2064near\u2062 the border, not just \u200cthe other side but\u200b on \u2064ours as well,&#8221; Ramaswamy \u200cemphasized.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we have\u2062 a\u2062 situation in the country; we \u200chave a number of people, tens of thousands, who have entered the country with bad intentions \u2063and\u2063 not just coming from\u2063 the southern border, they are coming from the\u2062 northern border, too. Seventy thousand \u2064special interest \u2064aliens last year alone,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ramaswamy concluded by\u200d highlighting the need to\u200b prioritize the protection of the homeland, emphasizing that\u2064 it has \u2063not been a priority for either political party for a long \u2063time.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;Protecting\u200d Our Homeland: A Long Overdue Priority&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;So, I do think protecting\u200d our homeland has\u200d not \u2062been a priority for a long time, \u2064frankly in either political\u2064 party, that \u200cneeds to change now. I hope that\u200b we will get more facts as\u2062 the situation evolves, \u2062but this \u200bis\u200b unfortunately \u2062another startling reminder \u200cof \u2062that\u2062 reality,&#8221; Ramaswamy\u2063 continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The suspected\u200d terrorist attack occurred on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-crenshaw-torches-buttigieg-over-out-of-touch-electric-vehicle-comments\/\" title=\"Rep. Crenshaw Torches Buttigieg Over \u2018Out Of Touch\u2019 Electric Vehicle Comments\">busiest travel day<\/a> of the\u2062 year, just before the\u200b Thanksgiving\u2063 holiday, at the \u200cRainbow \u2064Bridge\u2063 connecting the U.S. and Canada at Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u2063 are the implications of inadequate security measures at the U.S.-Canada border for national security<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Eglect of \u2063the northern border,&#8221; Ramaswamy warned.<\/p>\n<p>The growing concern over border security is not unwarranted. In recent years, there has been an alarming increase in drug trafficking and\u2062 illegal crossings at the U.S.-Canada border. The smuggling of fentanyl, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-democrats-urge-senate-to-advance-biden-border-security-request\/\" title=\"House Democrats are urging the Senate to move forward with President Biden's border security request.\">highly potent synthetic opioid responsible<\/a> \u2063for \u200ca significant number of overdose deaths in the United \u2062States, has \u200cbecome a major issue. Last year alone, more\u2063 fentanyl was seized at\u2062 the northern\u2064 border than could potentially kill millions of Americans. This \u2063highlights the\u2062 urgent need \u2062for stronger security measures to prevent the\u200b entry of such dangerous substances into our\u2063 country.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the drug crisis, there have also been cases of violent criminals attempting to enter the\u2063 United States through the northern border. Ramaswamy mentioned the apprehension of \u200ba Brazilian ex-military man in New Hampshire, who had already \u2062taken the \u2062lives of 11 individuals. These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the potential threats that exist and the need to be\u200b vigilant in protecting our \u2063borders.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy acknowledged that\u200d the crisis at \u200bthe southern border demands attention and action. However, he emphasized that\u200c this should not \u200dovershadow the growing challenges at the northern border. \u200dThe political discourse and\u2063 media attention around border security have primarily focused on the southern border, creating a sense of complacency regarding the threats posed\u2064 by the northern border. It is crucial to address both fronts of the border \u200ccrisis and\u2062 allocate \u200bresources accordingly \u2062to \u2063ensure the safety and security of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of border security also extends beyond criminal activities. \u200bIt has implications\u200d for national security as well. The United States and Canada share a long and relatively peaceful\u200c border, but this \u200cshould not lead us to underestimate the\u200c potential risks. In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/part-social-media-and-part-preppers-paradise-ham-radio-is-the-perfect-hobby\/\" title=\"Ham radio is the ideal hobby, combining social media and prepping.\">increasingly interconnected world<\/a>,\u200b it is\u2064 essential to maintain robust security\u200b measures to effectively identify and mitigate any \u2062potential threats \u2063to our national security.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063concerns raised by Ramaswamy\u200b regarding the U.S.-Canada border should not be dismissed. As a Republican \u200cpresidential candidate, he brings attention to \u200dan often overlooked aspect of border security that warrants serious consideration. The increase in drug smuggling and the presence \u200cof violent individuals attempting to enter \u2063the United States through the northern border are alarming trends that demand a proactive approach.<\/p>\n<p>Enhancing security at the U.S.-Canada border should be a priority \u200cfor policymakers and law \u2063enforcement agencies. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ramaswamy-defends-his-calls-to-focus-on-threats-at-northern-border-in-wake-of-suspected-terrorist-attack\/\" title=\"Ramaswamy stands by his push to prioritize northern border threats after suspected terror attack\">includes deploying additional personnel<\/a>, utilizing advanced surveillance technologies, and strengthening collaboration between the United States \u2062and \u2064Canada in intelligence sharing and joint operations. By addressing the challenges\u2062 at the northern border, we can further safeguard our nation and ensure the \u2063safety of our citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy&#8217;s advocacy for enhanced security at the U.S.-Canada border serves as a reminder that border crises are not isolated to a single region. It is imperative to approach\u2062 border security comprehensively and remain vigilant towards\u2064 all potential threats. The safety and well-being of the \u2063American people should\u200c always be a top priority, and a secure U.S.-Canada \u2063border is an essential component of achieving that objective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy expressed renewed worries over U.S.-Canada border security following a suspected terror incident at a Niagara Falls checkpoint.
