Who knew that ISIS would try to take advantage of an open border?

My late mother would read this story and scream: "Que estupidos son" or loosely translated to "how stupid they are." Yes, who knew that ISIS or any other terrorist group would exploit a porous border?

This is the story:

Border Patrol arrested a whopping 12,028 criminal illegals in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, and the criminals keep coming. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics on criminal illegals apprehended FY2023 to date (last updated Aug. 16) is 10,810 criminal illegals. There was also a 600% spike in potential “national security risk” migrants (i.e. potential terrorists) apprehended in FY2022, a total of 25,627 individuals -- hence the Border Patrol Union is warning that thousands of terrorists could be entering the U.S. illegally.

Again, why would anyone be surprised that people who want to harm the country would exploit an opportunity to harm the country?

There is more from the story:

The FBI is investigating more than a dozen Uzbek nationals allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials,” CNN reports. “While the FBI says no specific ISIS plot has been identified, officials are still working to ‘identify and assess’ all of the individuals who gained entry to the United States, according to a statement from National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson. And they are closely scrutinizing a number of the migrants as possible criminal threats, according to two US officials.”

More than 100 suspected terrorists have been arrested at the U.S. southern border since President Joe Biden took office. It is estimated two million “gotaways” have crossed into the U.S. undetected...

Rampant crime and rampant terrorism are a convenient, orchestrated excuse for totalitarian government.

Evil people in government who think the ensuing chaos helps them maintain power.

Well, I never would have in a million years thought that enemies of our country would utilize an open border!

Who would think such a thing?

Who knew? Why, the very ones who are enabling and facilitating this treasonous open borders debacle. It's all a part of the plan to destroy America.

And every pimp in Congress, both sides of the isle, is culpable. Meanwhile, Americans occupy themselves with the next episode of Oprah.

But what if the 2 million gotaways refuse to take the newest Covid23 vaccines or wear masks when it’s time for the semiannual lockdowns?

Even Democrats should be terrified of that danger to the nation. What if there aren’t enough Uzbek language mail-in ballots? How are undocumented aliens going to get registered to vote?

Oh yeah, tax payer funded voter rights access groups will drop 1000s of votes off on their behalf to be ignored by the don’t ask don’t tell media or authorities.

The next 9/11 is just around the corner. Except it will be worse.

They hate us.

Anyone with half a brain but unfortunately most of the Biden administration do not measure up to that.

I agree it is a deliberate and diabolical plan.

Articles like these are just narrating our enemies’ success, which makes the statements of outrage and ideas for fixes comical.

Conservatives' ideas for remedy are confined to the next election. We're brainwashed into thinking we'll fix it at the polls. And we never move beyond that.

Meanwhile, the enemy is constantly expanding its territory and mobilizing for action. Sort of like the distinction between Eloi and Morlocks.

“I agree it is a deliberate and diabolical plan.”

That’s why only God can deliver the retribution befitting their iniquities; however much I’d enjoy numerous public hangings!

They need only one high profile attack to open the purse floodgates for even more public surveillance

Why try to forge all of those pesky passports and sneak by the TSA goons at the airport when you can get a 2 peso backpack and a cute Honduran teenager to rape along the way and stroll across the border like it was your front lawn.

Right... Liberals are setting the stage for their ultimate power grab.

Don’t believe it?

Ask yourself, “How did all those OTHER tyrants in history succeed in taking power??”

If you didn’t do well in history class or went straight to the ‘sports’ section in the newspaper (all your life), then you are in for a cold shower

Yes. The next 9/11 is just around the corner. It is part of the plan. I remember when 9/11 happened, there were media types who were lamenting that Clinton was not still in the White House when it happened. Their take on it was Bill would have an opportunity to shine. Makes me wonder what really would have happened to us if Bill and Hillary had been in the White House on 9/11. More so Hillary.
