There’s nothing surprising about the all-out invasion taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border — Biden’s policies since day one in office guaranteed this result. But, in addition to the record-setting number of illegal immigrants turning themselves over to border agents after unlawfully entering the U.S., there has also been a similar and potentially more alarming surge in both the number of apprehended illegal immigrants on American terror watchlists and the number of known “got-aways” slipping into the U.S.
In a chilling letter to congressional leaders dated January 17, former federal law enforcement and national security officials spell out the danger of Biden’s open border that “arises from the nature of the threat itself.”
“Wars and espionage and bombings and riots are sadly familiar delivery systems of instability, intimidation and insecurity,” write the former senior FBI executives. “The country has faced these and more throughout its history and has held together, though not without struggle. The threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar,” the veterans of federal law enforcement explain. “In its modern history the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland and, yet, one is unfolding now.”
“Military aged men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands — not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane by rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected with ready access granted,” the letter states of this new threat.
Indeed, as Townhall watched along the U.S.-Mexico border over the weekend, another group of illegal immigrants walked up to the border wall to surrender, claim asylum, and be processed. The 22 illegal immigrants including four unaccompanied children and one single adult male seen entering by Townhall — just a sliver of a percentage of the total under Biden — will be released into the U.S. with an initial court date up to six or seven years from now.

RELATED: More Biden Recklessness: Bombing Houthi Jihadists While Keeping Our Borders Wide Open
The Houthi Supreme Political Council has declared that “all American-British interests have become legitimate targets.
Published January 23, 2024
Most of America’s allies are AWOL yet again when it comes to countering Houthi efforts to shut down the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden international water routes. Even American neocons must have thought this was a perfect burden-sharing moment—if not now, against renegade Houthi rebels threatening globally used sea lanes, then when?
Only Britain has joined the U.S. naval task, “Operation Prosperity Guardian,” because France, Spain, and other NATO partners have no stomach for risking their sailors and expensive vessels to counter make-shift Houthi rockets and attack drones. Of course, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and UAE are also on the sidelines, again, because the Houthis are actually formidable foes. Much easier to let Uncle Sam do it.
Secretary of State Blinken says “freedom of navigation” and “freedom of shipping” are at stake. True or not, Washington is undertaking this faraway military action totally oblivious to America’s gaping vulnerabilities at home. President Biden’s decision to bomb Houthis, while his administration doubles down on unprecedented open-border policies, is exposing the U.S. homeland to more unnecessary risks.
Washington is poking yet another hornet’s nest with no screens on its windows. Biden officials appear to have learned nothing from the 9/11 national calamity, which sprang directly from mismanaged homeland border security, totally detached from an intrusive U.S. foreign posture in the Middle East.
Typically, more than two decades after 9/11, the Washington national-security establishment is again focused on our overseas posture rather than the homeland. That is why, mindful of deadly groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, the Pentagon has put U.S. troops in the Middle East on code red. The State Department has warned traveling Americans to avoid the entire region and ordered its diplomatic missions on high alert.

Published December 13, 2023
Washington, DC – More than a hundred staff members from the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have signed an open letter to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denouncing the department’s handling of the war in Gaza.
The letter, exclusively obtained by Al Jazeera, expresses frustration with the “palpable, glaring absence in the Department’s messaging” of “recognition, support, and mourning” for the more than 18,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7.
“The grave humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the conditions in the West Bank are circumstances that the Department would generally respond to in various ways,” the letter, dated November 22, said.
“Yet DHS leadership has seemingly turned a blind eye to the bombing of refugee camps, hospitals, ambulances, and civilians.”
The letter’s signatories include 139 staff members from DHS and the agencies it manages, like Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
But some staff members “elected to sign this letter anonymously” for fear of backlash, the document explained. It called for DHS to “provide a fair and balanced representation of the situation, and allow for respectful expression without the fear of professional repercussions”.
DHS did not respond to Al Jazeera’s request for comment by the time of publication.
