Terror experts are sounding the alarm on the heightened risk of a major terror event occurring on U.S. soil, citing vulnerabilities at the southern border as a significant factor. Despite advancements in surveillance and airport security since 9/11, experts caution that the evolving technological landscape and the influx of unvetted individuals entering the country pose serious security concerns.
Retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro emphasized the potential for terrorist groups to exploit the open border, pointing out that millions of unvetted individuals from various countries are entering the U.S. unchecked. The recent apprehension of Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS who allegedly crossed the southern border illegally has raised red flags among security experts.
