So, that caused us, from my perspective, sleepless nights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These alarming words were not spoken by \u2063Texas Gov. Greg\u2063 Abbott, the staunch defender of our nation\u2019s southern border, but by Tim Healy, the\u200b former director of the\u2064 FBI\u2019s Terrorist Screening Center under President Obama. Healy also emphasized that the demographics \u200bof the group crossing the border have changed, with adult males now outnumbering children and family members.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s\u200d not just adult males who may be crossing\u2064 the border as suspected terrorists. Chinese nationals have become the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wsj-poll-hispanic-voters-evenly-split-between-parties\/\" title=\"WSJ Poll: Hispanic Voters Evenly Split Between Parties\">fastest-growing group<\/a> of smuggled\u200c individuals.\u2063 While some claim they are seeking better work opportunities, there is evidence of Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations\u2062 operating within our borders.<\/p>\n<p>This chaos\u2063 is a direct result of President Biden\u2019s border policy. While\u2063 all states have\u2062 the constitutional right to protect their borders, \u2063the situation in \u200dTexas, \u200bthe epicenter of this invasion, \u200cis beyond absurd to ignore.

A nation that cannot control the \u2063flow \u200cof criminals coming in\u200c is not serious about protecting its own citizens. A nation that enables criminal cartels to profit from the suffering of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prostitution-boom-in-new-york-city-fueled-by-illegal-immigrants-from-venezuela-mayor-says\/\" title=\"Mayor attributes prostitution boom in NYC to illegal immigrants from Venezuela.\">vulnerable individuals seeking<\/a>\u200d a better life is\u2064 not behaving \u200bin \u2062a humanitarian way.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064numbers speak for themselves. The stories of\u200c fruit going unpicked or suburban landscaping left unattended are distractions from the real issue. We are facing \u200dan onslaught\u2062 of people who do not share\u2062 our values and, at worst, \u200bwish to see our destruction.<\/p>\n<p>If it weren&#8217;t for Texas and the other \u2064states standing alongside her, as well as citizens across\u200c the \u200bcountry who refuse to be treated as second-class, there\u2062 might be\u2063 no stopping this \u2063crisis. This is not about political divides; it&#8217;s about protecting our sovereign\u200c nation from the south.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for the Biden administration to stop \u2064playing politics and fulfill its duty to protect \u200bthe\u2063 citizens\u200b of this country. While women and children deserve compassion, the flood of potential criminals\u200d poses a serious threat.

However, it\u200c is important to acknowledge that this crisis is not limited to immigration issues. It poses a significant threat to our national security.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c increase in apprehensions of known or suspected terrorists\u2063 at the southern border\u200c is deeply concerning. The fact\u200c that there were 336 such arrests in just the \u2062last three years is indicative of the severity of the problem. This is not a hypothetical threat, but a \u200dreal one that keeps those responsible for our national security up at night.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the demographics of those crossing the border have shifted. It is no longer \u2064just children and \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/charge-russians-who-adopt-ukrainian-children-with-kidnapping\/\" title=\"Charge Russians Who Adopt Ukrainian Children With Kidnapping\">family members seeking<\/a> a\u2062 better life, but adult males who now outnumber them. This change in demographics raises questions \u200babout the intentions and motivations of those attempting\u2063 to enter our country illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Among those who are crossing the border as suspected terrorists, Chinese nationals have \u2062become the fastest-growing group. While some may \u2062argue that they are simply seeking better work opportunities, there is evidence of Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations operating within our borders. This poses a significant risk to our national security and demands \u2064immediate\u2062 attention.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to recognize that this crisis \u200bis a direct result\u200d of President Biden&#8217;s border policy. \u200cWhile all states have the constitutional right to protect \u200ctheir borders, the situation in Texas, the epicenter of\u2063 this invasion, cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the consequences of this crisis extend far beyond the borders of Texas. States such \u2062as Colorado, Maine, New York, and \u2063Chicago are already feeling the effects in various ways.<\/p>\n<p>These \u200dstates are struggling to allocate funds, \u200dhandle illegal\u200c immigration, tackle illegal drug operations, and even provide education \u2062to their\u200d own citizens due to the\u200b overwhelming influx of\u2063 illegal immigrants. This\u2063 is not simply an immigration issue; \u200dit is an issue that affects the well-being and livelihoods of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Texas and\u2062 Governor Abbott are not\u200c alone in their fight. \u200bSeventeen states have joined forces with Texas\u200b to address this crisis. Even President Biden, or whoever is running his \u2064administration, is reportedly planning to address the situation. However, it is essential that these efforts focus not only\u200b on immigration\u2062 policy but\u200d also on protecting\u2062 our national security.<\/p>\n<p>The border crisis is a threat to our national security that \u2063cannot be ignored. It requires a comprehensive and immediate response from all levels of government. We must secure our borders, address the influx of \u2062suspected\u2063 terrorists, and dismantle criminal organizations operating within our borders. Failure to\u2062 do so not only puts American lives at risk but also undermines the very\u2063 foundations of our nation. It is time to prioritize the safety and security of our country and our citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past three years, 336 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended at the southern border.
