[ZeroHedge] President Joe Biden and "border czar" Vice President Kamala Harris' disastrous open-border policies have rolled out the red carpet to at least 1.7 million illegal aliens deemed 'potential national security threats' into the country. This comes as Venezuelan prison gangs wreak havoc across the nation. Just two weeks ago, a former senior Border Patrol official testified before Congress, exposing the Biden-Harris administration for covering up a surge in suspected terrorists crossing the southern border.
The report, "The Biden-Harris Border Crisis: At Least 1.7 Million Potential National Security Threats," was published by the US House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement on Thursday. It highlights the national security risks posed by open borders.
Here are the most critical points in the report:
- Since January 2021, approximately 7.6 million illegal aliens have entered the US, including 1.9 million "gotaways."
- Under the Biden-Harris Administration, US Customs and Border Protection has encountered more than 1.7 million special interest aliens—meaning aliens from 26 countries that DHS has determined pose the greatest national security and counterintelligence threats to the United States. The special interest countries include Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Syria, and Turkey
- At least 382 individuals encountered at the border are on the US terrorist watchlist, with 100 of these encounters happening in fiscal year 2024 alone. Among these individuals, at least 99 were released into US communities by DHS.
- The report stresses the growing threat from "special interest aliens" (from countries considered national security risks) and the lack of adequate vetting.
- The case of Mohammad Kharwin, an Afghan national on the terrorist watchlist, is presented as an example of the administration's failure to secure the border. Despite being identified as a potential threat, Kharwin was released into the US multiple times.
"In a similar effort to hide the dangerous consequences of its open-borders policies, for months the Biden-Harris Administration delayed briefing the Committee and Subcommittee about Mohammad Kharwin, an illegal alien from Afghanistan on the terrorist watchlist," the report noted.
