They argue that these\u200d policies \u2063have created\u2064 a &#8220;soft invasion&#8221; of military-age\u200c men from terror-linked regions, China, and Russia into the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The \u2062letter \u2064emphasizes the imminent but preventable \u200dthreat of\u200c a terrorist\u200b attack.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The threat \u2063we call out today is new and unfamiliar.\u200d In its modern history, the U.S. has \u2062never \u200bsuffered an \u2063invasion of the homeland, \u200cand, yet, one is unfolding now. Military-age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United \u2062States, are landing \u200cin \u200dwaves on our soil by the thousands \u2013 not\u200b by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane but rather by foot\u2063 across a border that has \u2062been accurately advertised around the world\u2063 as largely unprotected with ready access granted.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The retired FBI directors and experts express deep concern about \u200bthe presence of\u200b a large number of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions within the country. They highlight the\u200b unknown \u2063backgrounds, intentions, and allegiances of these individuals, including those encountered by border officials and possibly released into \u2063the country, as well as the shockingly high number of &#8220;gotaways&#8221; who\u2063 have\u200b entered and evaded apprehension.<\/p>\n<p>According to the \u200dUS Department of Defense, an Army company consists of 100 soldiers, a battalion of 1,000, a brigade of\u200b 5,000, a \u200ddivision of 15,000, and a\u200d corps of 45,000.<\/p>\n<p>Since President Biden\u2063 took office, there have been over 1.7 \u200cmillion\u200b reported &#8220;gotaways&#8221;\u200b who\u2062 have illegally entered and evaded capture, with \u200cthe majority being military-age men. This number is part \u2064of the total of over 10 million illegal border crossers reported to have entered the country from January 1, 2021, to September 30, \u200c2023.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In light of such a daunting, unprecedented penetration by \u200cuninvited foreign actors, it is \u200breasonable to assert that the country possesses dramatically\u2063 diminished national security at this\u200d time. The \u200cnation&#8217;s military, laws, and other natural\u200d protective barriers that have provided traditional security in the past have been thoroughly circumvented over \u200dthe past three years,&#8221; the former FBI directors wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The retired officials are calling on Congress to take immediate action\u2062 in securing the \u2064border and identifying\u2064 and removing these young men and those already in the country illegally.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wisc.,\u2062 shared a \u200ccopy of the letter, stating, &#8220;This sobering letter from former FBI, Homeland Security, and other\u200c law\u200c enforcement officials describes \u2064the \u200dchilling reality of why the president&#8217;s open border is a \u200bclear and present danger to America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter, dated January 17, was written\u200d prior\u200d to Texas Governor Greg Abbott invoking the invasion clause of the U.S. Constitution to defend Texas and before \u2064the House began the process of impeaching\u2063 U.S.\u200d Department of Homeland Security \u2062Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the ongoing border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The letter was addressed to Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Democratic Senate Majority Leader\u200d Chuck Schumer,\u2062 and the chairs of the House and Senate intelligence and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccarthy-on-democrats-stripping-greene-of-committees-you-may-regret-this-a-lot-sooner-than-you-think\/\" title=\"McCarthy On Democrats Stripping Greene Of Committees: \u2018You May Regret This A Lot Sooner Than You Think\u2019\">homeland security committees<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The retired\u2064 FBI officials \u200bwho signed the letter have served\u200c under seven U.S. presidents and four FBI\u2062 directors. They include Kevin Brock, Chris Swecker, Timothy Healy, Ruben Garcia Jr., Mark Morgan, David Szady, Jody \u2064Weiss, David Mitchell,\u200b William Gavin, and Timothy McNally.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are \u2064the potential consequences of allowing individuals with nefarious intentions to enter the country undetected through border\u200b loopholes?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  O \u2062have entered\u2064 the United States through the \u200bsouthern border. This is equivalent to more than 34 brigades or 170,000 soldiers. The letter argues that this constitutes \u200ca <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/guest-op-ed-by-representative-gus-bilirakis-r-fl-12\/\" title=\"Guest Op-Ed by Representative Gus Bilirakis (R-FL-12)\">significant security risk<\/a> for the country.<\/p>\n<p>The letter\u2062 goes on to express \u200cconcern about the potential infiltration of terrorists from terror-linked regions into the United States. The retired FBI directors and experts highlight the fact that the border policies implemented by the Biden administration have created a loophole for individuals with nefarious intentions to enter the country undetected. They argue that this poses a direct threat to national \u200bsecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the letter raises \u2064alarm about the involvement of China and Russia in\u2063 this &#8220;soft invasion&#8221;. The retired directors and experts assert that these hostile nations are taking\u2064 advantage of the porous border to send their military-age men into the\u200d United States. They emphasize the need for heightened scrutiny\u2064 and intelligence gathering to identify and neutralize any potential threats.<\/p>\n<p>The letter concludes by calling on congressional leaders to \u2063take immediate action to address the issues at the border. It suggests a comprehensive overhaul of border \u2064security \u200bpolicies and an increase in resources allocated to \u200bborder enforcement agencies. The retired \u200bdirectors and\u2062 experts emphasize the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-tosses-most-cases-against-trump-for-clearing-of-lafayette-park\/\" title=\"Judge Tosses Most Cases Against Trump For Clearing Of Lafayette Park\">protecting national security<\/a> and preventing \u200cany potential terrorist attacks or foreign infiltration.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this letter, White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, \u200dstated that the Biden administration takes border security seriously \u200band is committed to addressing any\u200b national security concerns.\u200c She emphasized the need for\u200b a comprehensive immigration reform to address the root causes of migration and strengthen border enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>The concerns raised by these ten retired\u2062 FBI directors and counterintelligence experts highlight the urgency of the situation at\u2062 the US border. It is crucial for the government\u200c to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-push-to-make-military-vehicles-climate-friendly-hands-americas-military-infrastructure-to-red-china\/\" title=\"Biden's plan for eco-friendly military vehicles gives China control of US military infrastructure.\">prioritize national security<\/a> and ensure that\u200b measures are in\u200d place to prevent any potential \u2063threats from entering the country. As the debate on border policies continues, it is important for policymakers to take\u200b into \u2062account the insights and expertise provided by these distinguished\u2063 experts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten retired FBI directors and counterintelligence experts penned a letter to Congress, cautioning that President Biden&#8217;s border policies have allowed a &#8220;soft invasion&#8221; of military-age men from terror-linked regions, China, and Russia.
