Border Security Is National Security

In all the sorrow and headlines from Uvalde, here's a story you may have missed. 

An Iraqi immigrant in the country on a business/visitor's visa was arrested Tuesday on charges of plotting with ISIS to assassinate former President George W. Bush. 

What jumped out at me is that this radical Islamist was evidently reading the news and realized it was relatively easy to bring assassins across Joe Biden's wide open southern border. 

Last year alone, nearly two dozen suspected terrorists were caught at the southern border.  One individual on the terrorist watch list was caught at the border this April and then released into the country!  He was only captured after a frantic two-week manhunt.

FBI Director Christopher Wray was testifying on Capitol Hill yesterday. Of course, he tried very hard to avoid taking sides on the border issue.  But in response to repeated questions from conservative members of Congress, Wray eventually conceded that border security is a critical issue, and that our border officials "have a very tough job."

That's an understatement!

Keeping gangs, drugs, suspected terrorists and criminal illegal aliens out of the country certainly is a tough job.  Our Border Patrol agents deserve our respect and full support.  But they're not getting it from the Biden Administration, which has attacked them and made their jobs virtually impossible!
