Nearly 100 Migrants on Terror Watchlist Released Into U.S. By Biden’s Administration

Nearly 100 Migrants on Terror Watchlist Released Into U.S. By Biden's Administration

Well, folks, it seems the Biden administration has decided to play a high-stakes game of “Catch and Release” with our national security. In a move that would make even the most ardent open-borders advocate raise an eyebrow, nearly 100 migrants on the terror watchlist have been given a golden ticket into the U.S. heartland. Let’s dive into this alarming development and explore why it should have every patriotic American reaching for their nearest bottle of antacid.

The Terrifying Numbers

Since the beginning of fiscal year 2021, a staggering 294 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended at the southern border. But here’s the kicker: at least 99 of these potential threats to national security were released into the U.S. by the Biden administration. These individuals hail from 36 countries, including known terror hotspots like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.

FBI Director’s Alarming Concerns

FBI Director Christopher Wray has not minced words about the gravity of this situation. He’s expressed deep concern about terrorists exploiting our immigration system to infiltrate the country.

“I am increasingly concerned that foreign terrorists could seek to exploit vulnerabilities at our southwest border or at other ports of entry or other aspects of our immigration system to facilitate an attack here in the United States” – Christopher A. Wray, FBI Director

Wray’s worries aren’t unfounded. The number of individuals apprehended crossing the Southwest border and found to be on the terrorist watchlist has increased by a mind-boggling 2,500 percent from Fiscal Years 2017-2020 to Fiscal Year 2023.

The Broader Border Crisis

The release of these potential terrorists is just the tip of the iceberg in a broader border crisis. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed, with more than 1.7 million known “gotaways” reported since 2021. Interior checkpoints, crucial for intercepting drugs and criminal aliens, have been forced to close due to the chaos.

“Interior U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints play a crucial role in interdicting deadly drugs and criminal aliens before they impact our communities.” – Chairman Mark E. Green, MD

This crisis isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the very real threats to American communities. In FY 2023 alone, CBP arrested 35,433 illegal aliens with criminal convictions and 598 known gang members.

Policy Implications

The Biden administration’s approach to border security and immigration policy is clearly in need of a major overhaul. The release of individuals on the terror watchlist into the U.S. raises serious questions about the effectiveness of current vetting procedures and the prioritization of national security in immigration decisions.

As this crisis unfolds, it’s clear that the Biden administration’s immigration policies are not just a matter of domestic politics – they’re a matter of national security. The American people deserve better than a system that potentially allows terrorists to slip through the cracks and into our communities.
