The senator&#8217;s worries stem from the fact that these individuals were\u200c allowed entry into the United States either after being processed by the Border Patrol or through their registration \u2063on the CBP\u200d One app, despite their alleged connections to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200da \u2064letter \u200baddressed to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkaste, Blackburn \u2063pointed out that even though these individuals were considered\u2064 to have been thoroughly \u2063vetted by Customs and Border Protection,\u2063 they still \u2064had links to \u2062ISIS, raising serious concerns \u2063about\u200c the effectiveness\u200c of current screening\u200c processes. She emphasized the increased\u2064 number of migrants\u200d on the terrorist watchlist encountered under the Biden administration compared to the \u200dTrump era, \u2063and\u200d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/foreign-adversary-systems-classified-report-from-u-s-military-shines-more-light-on-ufos\/\" title=\"\u2018Foreign Adversary Systems\u2019: Classified Report From U.S. Military Shines More Light On UFOs\">potential threats posed<\/a> \u200cby &#8216;gotaways&#8217;\u2014migrants\u2063 who have evaded CBP detection.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn&#8217;s letter includes a list of questions aimed\u200d at gaining a clearer perspective on the security measures and procedures at the border, questioning the specific details regarding the ISIS-linked immigrants, including\u2062 their names,\u200d nature of\u2064 their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-ignore-their-own-lies-while-claiming-monopoly-on-truth\/\" title=\"Dems Ignore Their Own Lies While Claiming Monopoly on Truth\">suspected terrorist ties<\/a>, and communications about potential\u200d threats \u2062such as bombings. She\u2062 argues that the American public deserves to feel secure and\u2062 needs to\u2063 be better informed about the threats and\u200c the government\u2019s handling of border security and immigration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sen.

Despite being \u2018fully vetted\u2019 by border officials, it has been revealed that these individuals have ties to ISIS. Given these disturbing revelations, Americans are rightly concerned about threats to our homeland,\u201d Blackburn wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c[S]ince President Biden took office, CBP has encountered 362 migrants on the terrorist watchlist, compared to just 11 under the Trump administration. Equally as concerning, we will never know how many of the nearly 1.6 million known \u2018gotaways\u2019 who evaded CBP detection during the first two years of the Biden administration were affiliated with terrorist groups,\u201d she continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blackburn wrote out a list of questions for the Department of Homeland Security to answer to give Americans a better understanding of the seriousness of the situation at the border. The GOP senator asked for the names of the Tajikistani nationals, their alleged ties to terrorism, whether or not they were wiretapped discussing bombs, and other information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe American people deserve to feel safe from terrorist threats within our country, but it is clear that this administration\u2019s policies have made all of our communities less safe. At the very least, Americans deserve to know the full extent of the threat posed by these eight suspected terrorists who managed to gain entry into our country,\u201d Blackburn said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1716990157394000&#038;usg=AOvVaw33qQydjIo8bet419amChif\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Biden administration has taken numerous shots over its immigration policy, especially lately.

The statement hammered President Joe Biden for easing the pathway to permanent residency in the U.S. for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBiden doesn\u2019t care about the American lives that will forever be destroyed by the illegal criminals he is importing; and Biden doesn\u2019t care that law-abiding taxpayers, crushed by inflation, are forced to pay for free food, housing, and healthcare for illegals,\u201d Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. \u201cBiden only cares about one thing \u2014 power \u2014 and that\u2019s why he is giving mass amnesty and citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegals who he knows will ultimately vote for him and the Open Border Democrat Party.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
