Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. warned on "Hannity" Tuesday that President Biden's immigration policies could have major national security implications, suggesting that a porous southern border might serve as a "great way for terrorists to come into our country."
Graham blamed Biden's rollback of Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy for the recent surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico frontier.
"Word is out that the Trump policies are being replaced by the Biden administration [policy] that if you get one foot in America, you are never going to leave," Graham said.
"People will be coming ... by the hundreds of thousands by the summer. It is a humanitarian crisis. It’s going to be an economic crisis for our cities along the border, and eventually is going to be a national security crisis, because they’re children today but they could easily be terrorists tomorrow," he argued.
As the country approaches the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks, Graham warned: "Al Qaeda and ISIS would love nothing more than to hit us again ... to show that they are still alive and well ... This border insecurity is a great way for terrorists to come into our country."

Graham hits the nail on the head.
It would be curious to ask the border patrol guys...on the people they’ve apprehended over the past five years...how many are NON-Latino. I’ll bet that 10-percent are from Asia, Middle-East, or Africa. If you look across the US, in terms of illegals (some here for over 20 years)...maybe 10-percent of them are NON-Latino.
Why go to the trouble of traveling through the desert when you can fly into the US
Whew, now I feel really safe, knowing that our on the ball politicians are watching out for us, and are now thinking of things we knew years ago.
Did he mention whether he was for it or against it?
It didn’t bother George Bush, why should it bother the Hairsniffer in Chief?
No "maybes" Lindsay......
AND THIS a 2017 DHS study found 58% of border jumpers were from countries other than Mexico,
including Muslim hellholes, countries that have declared war on America and would harm Americans.
Good advice anyway but best to stay away from major American city centers in this decade.
Prior to retirement nearly a decade ago, taught in Terrorism studies. GrahamIdiot is only regurgitating what ‘we’ have long talked about in the Terrorism studies field for over 2 decades (primarily since 9/11) that given the long-standing porous nature of the US Southern border(s), terrorist, narco-terrorists, extremists, etc. can readily utilize that porous nature of the US Southern border(s) to gain access into the US to commit possible acts of terrorism, etc. Personally, GrahamIdiot simply having a regurgitating Captain Obvious moment here....sounding off on nothing that is not already known.
Biden and his thugs are fools... hopefully.
I’d hate to think Biden’s thugs want Al Qaeda, ISIS and Iranian spies coming over to intentionally cause damage to the country.
Iran has Biden by the S % T’s...
S&C’s....short and curlies...
White House Press Secretary Baghdad Jen Psaki was asked about the scale of the escalating border crisis today. Her response is a little sketchy: “talk to them (DHS) …it’s not our program.”
Biden Press Sec On DHS Refusal To Confirm Border Crisis Numbers: “Talk To Them…It’s Not Our Program”
Moments later, this happened…
Illegals coming through the border is certainly an economic crisis. Or at least a problem. But it’s a stretch to say that terrorists are streaming in illegally. I suspect that terrorists come here like everyone else on planes and busses and cars. If they don’t have a substantial criminal record back home, they come here legally. If terrorist masterminds aren’t smart enough to recruit ,guys without a serious record, train and easily get people them here legally, then they are too stupid to be a threat. Planning and coordinating can be done from anywhere on the planet. I’m putting forth the premise that any operatives coming here do so legally. The 9/11 operatives did. Perfect example.
“Graham suggests Al Qaeda, ISIS could exploit Biden’s lax border policies to enter US”
YA THINK!!!???
