The southern border may be Biden’s biggest failure. He has the power to stop the invasion but sits on his hands constantly.
And now the FBI Director confirmed a terrifying reality at the border that will make you furious.
It only takes a brief glance over photos of the southern border to see that we have a big problem on our hands.
But if you thought having illegal immigrants was the worst part of the story, then you’d be sorely mistaken.
Because now we’re getting reports that organized terrorist smuggling operations are taking place that are bringing ISIS right to your doorstep.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) stated over the weekend that FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed to him the existence of a trafficking network that smuggles illegal aliens into the United States with ties to ISIS.
Rubio made the statements during a Sunday appearance on ABC News’ “This Week” when discussing ISIS-K’s horrific terrorist attack in Moscow late last week, which killed more than a hundred people.
“ISIS-K, ISIS-Khorasan, is largely the Afghan wing of ISIS,” Rubio said. “It’s reconstituted itself as we warned would happen when we had this disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. One of the reasons why we didn’t want to withdraw precipitously is because you gave them operating space to reorganize themselves and plan externally. And since that time, they’ve attacked inside of Afghanistan.”
In addition to the Moscow attack, ISIS-K has been found responsible for the suicide bombing outside of Kabul Airport during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
That attack killed 13 American servicemen.
They also conducted a major attack in Iran that killed over 80 people.
Needless to say, a group who is targeting Americans, Russians, and Iranians is no friend to anyone.
Their brand of Islam is one that murders even fellow Muslims – what do you think they’ll do to us?
“They’ll do it here in the homeland,” Rubio said. “I think we should be very concerned as the FBI director confirmed to me that there is a wing – there is a trafficking network out there that specializes in moving people. They do it for profit, moving people and migrants around the world, including across our southern border, who have links to ISIS.”
Rubio noted that under former President Donald Trump, “ISIS was basically out of business,” but now, under a weak Biden administration, “they’ve reconstituted themselves.”
“And part of it is, once we leave Afghanistan and we’re no longer there to conduct regular strikes, they can now operate openly. No matter how much the Taliban wants to take them on, they can’t. They don’t have the capability to do it,” he said. “And these guys have found a place to operate from. They need real estate. They need land and places where they can organize and do external plotting.”
“Now, it’s a lot easier for them to get into Iran. It’s a lot easier for them to get into Russia and do these things,” he added. “But their aspirations go beyond Russia and Iran. They would love to do what they did in Moscow here inside the United States. And it’s something we have to be very vigilant about when we have a border in which 9 million people have come across in the last three years.”
Keep in mind, since the beginning of the 2021 fiscal year, 294 illegal immigrants have been apprehended that also appear on the terrorist watchlist.
And these are just the ones that we’ve captured. Do you really think that ISIS-K wants to get caught by Border Patrol like all of the citizenship-seeking illegals from down south?
No, this is just a drop in the bucket.
