Mike Waltz (R-FL) blasted President Biden for his lax approach to the southern border of the United States, warning that it left the nation vulnerable to an attack from a resurgent ISIS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHistory tends to repeat itself, especially as it relates to President Joe Biden. His ideologically rigid open-border policies have laid us wide open to the growing threat of terror abroad,\u201d Waltz stated in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/isis-back-us-doesnt-dare-ignore\">opinion<\/a> piece for Fox News.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Noting Biden\u2019s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan in 2021, Waltz opined, \u201c[R]adical jihadists love a power vacuum, and what followed is a similar pattern to what we\u2019re seeing unfold in Afghanistan. Our country finds itself with an almost identical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/terrorism\/isis\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/terrorism\/isis&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712066951977000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1OsVE6rjklxIDyOE09X325\">threat we faced from ISIS<\/a> in 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWithin three years, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) filled the power vacuum left behind by the U.S. and established a caliphate the size of Indiana to terrorize the region and inspire attacks across Europe and the U.S.,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waltz noted the 2015 attack by Islamists in San Bernardino, California in which 14 people were murdered, and the fact that ISIS hailed the attack; the murderer who pledged allegiance to ISIS when he killed 49 people at the Pulse Nightclub attack in Orlando, Florida six months later, and a \u201cwave of Islamic terrorist attacks across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then he turned to current events: \u201cIn March, German officials arrested two Afghans linked to ISIS-K for plotting an attack against Sweden\u2019s parliament. In December, Austrian officials arrested three terrorists with ties to ISIS-K for plotting attacks on Christian sites during Christmas Eve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat happens in Afghanistan doesn\u2019t stay in Afghanistan,\u201d he declared. \u201cThis is a lesson that should have stayed with us after the September 11 attacks. \u2026 We cannot trust the Taliban to keep a lid on the rise of ISIS-K in Afghanistan. Just last year, terrorists took the lives of over 1,500 in neighboring Pakistan through various attacks and the region continues to grow more unstable.\u00a0 CENTCOM Commander General Michael Kurilla recently warned lawmakers ISIS could carry out an attack on the U.S. or Europe within six months with \u2018little to no warning.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Biden administration\u2019s refusal to take our border security seriously is making us increasingly vulnerable to a terrorist attack and there is little we can do to stem exporting of terror out of Afghanistan. \u2026 Biden has left us with little options and has America on defense. Above all, in the short term, the border must be secured by reinstating Trump-era policies like Title 42,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBiden\u2019s continual refusal to acknowledge the mistakes he made has only emboldened global terrorism \u2013 and thanks to his open-borders ideology, we are now even less safe at home,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
