The incident at Quantico, where two Jordanian nationals\u2063 attempted illegal entry by \u2063posing as \u200cAmazon delivery contractors, underscores the urgent\u200d need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blinking-lights-everywhere-fbi-director-warns-foreign-terrorists-trying-to-exploit-u-s-southern-border\/\" title=\"FBI Chief: Foreign Terrorists Eyeing U.S. Southern Border\">robust border control measures<\/a> to \u200bprotect \u200dnational security. \u200dRachel M.

The men, whose identities have not been released, were apprehended on May 3 after being stopped at the base\u2019s gate.<\/p>\n<p>According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), one of the Jordanian men had crossed the border illegally from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mexico-breaks-diplomatic-ties-ecuador-major-division-forms-central-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mexico<\/a> near San Ysidro, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/family-collecting-seashells-confronted-california-authority-fined-88000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California<\/a>, in April, and was released on his own recognizance after an immigration hearing. The other was a foreign student whose immigration status had been terminated in January after he was admitted to the U.S. on a student visa in September 2022, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/ice-confirms-jordanians-attempted-breach-marine-corps-base-quantico-both-us-illegally?utm_medium=email&#038;utm_source=ncl_amplify&#038;utm_campaign=240524-bidens_week_in_review&#038;utm_content=ncl-V8zES8b6KC&#038;_nlid=V8zES8b6KC&#038;_nhids=NBmFaxO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When the two men arrived at the Quantico gate in a box truck, they allegedly claimed to base personnel that they were making a delivery to the base\u2019s post office as subcontractors for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-amazon-investigation-self-driving-vehicle-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>. However, an Amazon spokesperson stated the company has no record of these individuals working on its behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to provide proper credentials to access the base, the two men\u00a0were detained\u00a0by military police and the base\u2019s criminal investigations division for trespassing.\u00a0ICE was then notified\u00a0and took both men into custody pending deportation proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>While officials state there is no evidence linking the Jordanians to any terrorist organizations or threats to national security, the incident has raised alarm in Washington. Homeland Security Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-rand-paul-holds-mayorkas-feet-fire-regarding-laken-rileys-suspected-killer-swats-excuses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alejandro Mayorkas<\/a> is facing demands from senators like Lindsey Graham to explain how the men entered the country and if they were on any watchlists.

Why shouldn\u2019t we do it in a legislative way?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The simple answer is that Biden was the one who unilaterally reversed 94 executive actions taken by Trump that kept this country safe, which Fox News pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>All he needs to do is return to the Trump policies before 2021.<\/p>\n<p>But that would mean Biden would have to admit that he was wrong \u2014 and that Trump was right.<\/p>\n<p>In April, the two former federal prosecutors who investigated terrorism cases after 9\/11 wrote an opinion article stating that the United States faces an increasing risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/suspect-sought-in-connection-with-new-york-city-mass-shooting-was-previously-on-fbis-radar-report\/\" title=\"Suspect Sought In Connection With New York City Mass Shooting Was Previously On FBI\u2019s Radar: Report\">terrorist attacks due<\/a> to a confluence of factors weakening the nation\u2019s defenses.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Fitzgerald and Thomas Hogan, who participated in a Department of Justice Joint Terrorism Task Force, pointed to the presence of terrorist networks active globally, the entry of potential terrorists across America\u2019s porous southern border, diminished local law enforcement, and a pullback in federal anti-terror efforts in an article for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/the-rising-terror-threat#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20Customs%20and%20Border,grow%20with%20expanding%20migrant%20flows.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City Journal<\/a>, a public policy magazine, published by the conservative Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking around the world and within our borders, we believe the United States is at heightened risk of terrorist activity,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The former agents pointed to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, which confirmed that they had apprehended 169 people on the FBI\u2019s terrorism watch list at the southern border in 2023 \u2014 a number that is expected to grow as migration increases, according to the \u00a0Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>The former agents added: \u201cThis raises a question: how many potential terrorists did Border Control fail to catch?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we assume, generously, that agents caught half of the border-hoppers on the watch list, another 169 intelligence-identified potential terrorists entered America through the southern border in 2023\u2014the equivalent of eight 9\/11 terror squads,\u201d they calculated.<\/p>\n<p>The question every sane American is asking is: How much more will it take?<\/p>\n<p>How many more warning signs do we need before Biden swallows his pride and accepts that his policies and ideas have drastically, and perhaps irreversibly, failed us?<\/p>\n<p>We have no count of the number of potential terrorists that may already be lying low in various parts of the country.
