DHS Admits Biden’s Border Crisis Is Making It Easier For Terrorists To Enter America
The Federalist ^ | 10/11/2023 | Shawn Fleetwood

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) admitted in a September report that foreign terrorists are exploiting the Biden-manufactured border crisis to illegally enter the United States.

Released last month by the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, the “Homeland Threat Assessment” for fiscal year 2024 includes an admission by the agency that international terrorists are looking to capitalize on the Biden administration’s open border policies and the resulting influx of illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the American homeland. Under the section titled, “Border and Immigration Security,” the report specifically noted how “[t]errorists and criminal actors may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States.”

The agency further acknowledged “individuals with potential terrorism connections” are actively attempting to enter the U.S. thanks to the ongoing crisis. Months before the 2023 fiscal year ended, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had already encountered approximately 160 individuals on the Terrorist Screening Data Set (TSDS), or “watchlist” — more than the 100 or so encountered in the entirety of the 2022 fiscal year. According to the report, “Inclusion in the TSDS ranges from known associates of watchlisted individuals, such as family members, to individuals directly engaged in terrorist activity.”

Despite proclaiming support for a “secure” border, President Joe Biden and his administration have routinely dismantled policies that helped stymie the ongoing crisis. In addition to auctioning off border wall construction materials, Biden moved to gut the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy shortly after taking office. That policy required illegal border crossers seeking asylum to stay in the Latin American country until their court hearing.

It’s estimated that nearly 7 million illegal immigrants have been “encountered” at the U.S.-Mexico border since Biden took office, according to the New York Post. And that doesn’t even include the potentially millions of “gotaways” who evaded capture by CBP agents.

Last month’s DHS assessment was issued weeks before Hamas — an Iranian-backed terrorist organization operating out of Gaza — launched a series of unprovoked and barbaric attacks against Israel, killing at least 1,200 people, mostly civilians. The attacks have since prompted concerns that foreign-based terrorist organizations could exploit America’s open border to illegally enter the U.S. and launch similar operations.

In response to possible threats, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the state’s public safety division to coordinate with local and federal law enforcement on “heightened public safety measures,” with a particular focus on raising awareness of possible threats against the state’s Jewish community by Iranian-backed terrorist groups.

In its new threat assessment, DHS specifically highlighted Iran — the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism — and its “intent to plot attacks against current and former US government officials.”

“Iran relies on individuals with pre-existing access to the United States for surveillance and lethal plotting—using dual nationals, members of criminal networks, and private investigators,” the report reads, adding that Tehran has even attempted to carry out plots “that do not require international travel for operatives.”

The report also listed Hezbollah — another Iranian-backed terrorist group operating out of Lebanon — as another source of potential foreign terror threats.

Soon they’ll get the go code and we’ll all find out what happened to all the guns and ammo the various departments and agencies stockpiled during the Barry regime.

A quote from X person, subdermal13:

Excellent. Even if it doesn’t work for this thread.

ALERT Have no verification of this report at present.

But it is being noted that in Matamoros, Mexico, directly across the border from Brownsville, Tx,
Hamas has a training center at a large factory, used to train young, military age men.

There are reports of invaders infiltrating via continual border infestations enabled by Biden.


Establishment of sleeper cells by Islamic terrorists was a major concern in the months after 9/11.

With the attack on Israel, numbers of pro Hamas rallies are being planned on US soil.

These sleeper cells find shelter and support in preparation for any future attack.

Don’t think the Biden regime doesn’t know about that place in Mexico. They are purposely going to allow this nightmare to happen to our citizens to achieve their sick goals.

I'm not really that worried about dirty bombs their very difficult to deploy effectively and generally just make a big mess. We have seen what conventional explosives can do on the other hand.

Let's just say it's a good idea to avoid any gathering of more than 1000 people. Concerts, rallies, sports events etc. They are soft targets for max carnage (gun free zones)and there are there always plenty of cameras running to maximize the propaganda the media eats up.

Stay safe everyone, its coming.

Yup. Many of us predicted years ago about what is going to happen. With the southern border invasion, we witnessing Barry’s “fundamental changing of America” Meanwhile, Congress stands by and does nothing more than complain.

too bad there is just no one to hold accountable. Reblicans have the majority in the house but not enough votes to impeach Myorkas - even with this, no one is held responsible.
