Former assistant FBI director, Chris Swecker, expressed concerns about the heightened security threat in the United States during recent events in Lebanon and Capitol Hill hearings. Swecker highlighted the vulnerability posed by open borders, particularly the 1,800-mile southern border, which allows individuals from various countries, including those with ties to terrorism, to enter without proper vetting.
He criticized the lack of resources and special projects dedicated to securing the border, emphasizing the need for thorough vetting of special-interest aliens by the FBI. Swecker warned that the current security gaps have made the U.S. susceptible to terrorist organizations, such as ISIS, which he believes now have the capability to launch wide-scale attacks on American soil.
