I don’t know how many of our new non American guests are Hamas…
But if you think about the reality that 19 people murdered 3000 Americans on 9-11….
And then if you recognize that what was done to innocent people, many of them women and children and babies who were burned alive, beheaded, raped and dragged naked through the streets in Israel…
These statistics should be concerning…
“This year marked a record high in the number of individuals on the terror watchlist crossing into the United States from both the northern and southern borders.
According to new data released by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for fiscal year 2023, the southwest border with Mexico saw 169 encounters which was up by 72% from 98 encounters last year for non-U.S. citizens. The northern border saw 484 encounters, an increase of 54% from last year with 313 encounters of all nationalities.”
As I pointed out earlier…there are the several million border crossers we know about…and then there’s another group. “ There are at least 1,454,000 known gotaways reported by Border Patrol and CBP Office of Field Operations agents from January 2021 to April 2023, Morgan says, according to FOIAs he’s filed with CBP.”. Illegal border crossers since 2021 total more than individual populations of 38 states
The New York Post has reported “ More than 18,000 people have evaded border patrol agents and slipped into the United States illegally since October 1, Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens announced Tuesday.… The shocking number of so-called “gotaways” — people known to have entered the country illegally without being caught — equates to about 1,125 people daily over the last 16 days….These are individuals whose identities & purpose we do not know,” Chief Owens wrote on X…”That is why you need every Border Patrol agent to be in the field and on patrol,” he said.” Over 18,000 'gotaways' slipped into the US in 16 days
That time frame of course overlaps the October 7 massacre in Israel.
Now…does that guarantee that something bad is going to happen? Of course not.
Is it a legitimate concern for all of us to wonder how many people who mean to do is harm might have snuck in undetected…absolutely.
A prudent and intelligent set of leaders would not be allowing our borders to be wide open, especially when a case can be made that we are on the brink of WW3…if we aren’t already in it.
