Trump Accuses Biden of Enabling Potential Terrorist Attacks through Open Borders
In a fiery campaign speech in Palm Beach, Florida, former US President Donald Trump accused current President Joe Biden of facilitating potential terrorist attacks on Americans by implementing policies that have led to a surge in migrants entering the country through the southern border.
Trump claimed that since Biden took office, the number of encounters with potential migrants, including those on the terrorist watchlist, has dramatically increased. US Customs and Border Protection reported a significant rise in intercepted individuals on the watchlist compared to Trump’s last year in office.
According to CBP data, attempted border crossings by migrants on the terrorism watchlist have continued at a steady pace in the current fiscal year, raising concerns about national security. Critics have warned that Biden’s lenient border policies could result in terrorist attacks similar to those seen on September 11, 2001.
The recent arrest of Tajikistan nationals suspected of terrorism links highlights the challenges faced by border security officials in detecting and apprehending potential threats. With millions of illegal aliens encountered at the border in the past fiscal year, the debate over border security remains a heated issue in American politics.
