Joe Biden’s failed Far Left Democrat open border policies were exploited by Islamic terrorists who were discussing carrying out a terrorist attack similar to the Boston Marathon bombing. One of the individuals was released last year by federal authorities after crossing into the country through the Southern Border.
According to the New York Post:
“Part of the investigation featured a wire tap which revealed one of the now arrested individuals was talking about bombs, the sources said.
“Remember the Boston marathon [bombing]? I’m afraid something like that might happen again or worse,” one of the sources told The Post.”
…
“Mohammad Kharwin, 48, illegally entered the US near San Ysidro, Calif.,in March of 2023 and was freed into the US.
However, it wasn’t until a year later the FBI notified ICE Kharwin was a suspected member of the US-designated foreign terror group Hezb-e-Islami, or HIG. Kharwin was rearrested on April 11 and remains in federal custody.”
…
“Border agents have told The Post they know others have slipped through the cracks because they do not get enough time to effectively screen people.
“What you’re seeing now is only gonna get worse,” one Border Patrol agent recently told The Post.”
MAKE NO MISTAKE: Border security is national security. House Republicans know the best way to secure our borders is by reimplementing President Trump’s successful policies. That is why we passed H.R. 2, the Secure The Border Act of 2023, the strongest border security bill in history. It would reimplement President Trump’s successful border policies and put an end to Joe Biden’s border crisis.
JOE BIDEN’S BORDER CRISIS BY THE NUMBERS:
Since Joe Biden took office:
There have been OVER 9.5 MILLION illegal immigrant encounters nationwide.
There have been OVER 7.8 MILLION illegal immigrant encounters at our Southern Border.
There have been 1.8 million known gotaways who evaded U.S. Border Patrol.
There have been more known gotaways than in the previous decade combined.
Immigration judges have thrown out approximately 200,000 deportation cases because DHS did not file the required "Notice to Appear" by the time of the scheduled hearing.
In April, there were 179,725 illegal immigrant encounters at our Southern Border.
April was the 38th straight month where monthly illegal immigrant encounters have been higher than even the highest month seen under President Trump.
The Biden border crisis is costing the United States approximately $150.7 billion each year.
The burden of illegal immigration on U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling with the gross cost per taxpayer at $1,156 every year.
Under Biden, over 350 of these individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the Southern Border.
So far in FY24, there have been 75 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watch list who have been stopped trying to enter the U.S. illegally between ports of entry at the Southern Border.
So far in FY24, there have been a record-breaking 27,583 Communist Chinese nationals have been encountered at the Southwest border.
Encounters of Communist Chinese nationals in April 2024 increased by nearly 8,000% compared to April 2021.
In May, the Committee on Homeland Security Republicans released documents showing the Biden Administration secretly flew over 400,000 illegal immigrants into the country.
Biden’s Far Left Democrat open border policies are to blame for this historic crisis.
There are OVER 60 instances of Joe Biden and his Administration taking actions that undermined our nation’s border security, including halting the construction of the border wall.
In August 2022, Biden and his Administration decided to make the border crisis WORSE by formally ending former President Trump’s successful ‘Remain in Mexico’ program.”
The Biden Administration announced on May 10, 2023, that it would allow for the release of some migrants into the U.S. with no way to track them.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has now admitted that 40% of catch and release migrants have disappeared.
FACTS ABOUT THE SECURE THE BORDER ACT OF 2023:
Forces the Biden Administration to restart construction of the border wall.
Deploys technology to the Southern and Northern Border.
Increases the number of Border Patrol agents and provides bonus pay.
Requires transparency regarding illegal crossings from the Department of Homeland Security.
Strengthens current law to protect unaccompanied children from human trafficking.
