Terrorists entering US through border; Impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas

Individuals crossing our border: China, India, Turkey

Title: Increase in Border Crossings Amidst Growing Concerns Over National Security

In recent video footage capturing individuals crossing the US-Mexico border, it has been observed that migrants from countries such as China, India, and Turkey are among those attempting to enter the United States. While these countries do not share a direct border with the US, this phenomenon raises questions regarding the reasons behind their choice of route.

Critics argue that the situation can be attributed to what they perceive as a lack of border control under the current administration led by President Joe Biden. Concerns have been raised over the apparent ease with which people are crossing the border, often through compromised sections of the existing fencing that cartels have cut through.

One example that has further fueled the debate is the case of a member of the Somali al-Shabaab terror group who entered the country illegally last year. After being arrested at the southern border, this individual was inexplicably released into the interior of the United States. It was only recently, after a year, that authorities were able to apprehend him again. Instances like this raise questions about the frequency of such occurrences and the potential presence of other terrorists in the country who may remain uncaptured.

Experts acknowledge that accurately estimating the number of terrorists present within the country is a complex task. With a significant number of individuals entering the US without proper documentation, it becomes challenging to track and identify potential threats effectively. Several instances of individuals with criminal histories evading apprehension have been reported, highlighting the need for enhanced border security measures.

The overwhelming number of migrants attempting to enter the US compounds the challenges faced by border patrol agents, who are said to be severely overwhelmed. It is claimed that additional support is required for the border patrol to manage the influx effectively. Critics argue that the current approach is focused on processing individuals quickly and moving them to the interior, rather than strengthening border security.

Calls for accountability have been directed towards Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security. Critics contend that his refusal to acknowledge the reality of a border crisis and take ownership of the situation has adversely affected the morale of the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel.

Furthermore, concerns have been raised regarding the activities of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are reportedly involved in aiding the illegal entry of migrants. These NGOs, funded by various sources, including contracts and taxpayer dollars, provide assistance to migrants, potentially facilitating their journey into the United States.

As the impeachment process against Secretary Mayorkas unfolds, many hope that addressing leadership accountability and implementing effective border control measures will help alleviate the growing concerns surrounding national security and the integrity of the US-Mexico border.
