SEATTLE - Florida governor Ron DeSantis said that terrorist attacks on United States soil are bound to happen as a result of the millions of undocumented immigrants that continue to unlawfully the country's southern border each year.

Reports from the House Committee on Homeland Security say that between 2021 and February 2024 there have been nine million immigrant encounters all across the country. Out of those, 7.4 million occurred at the border between Mexico and the United States. That number does not include the 1.8 million of "gotaways" who were able to evade officers during the same period.
