In a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre found herself in a tough spot when questioned about the Biden administration’s decision to allow an ISIS sympathizer to smuggle people into the United States illegally. When pressed on the whereabouts of these individuals connected to the smuggler, Jean Pierre was unable to provide a clear answer. However, in an attempt to reassure Americans, she mentioned that illegal immigrants who “fit the profile” will receive extra scrutiny.
This news comes after a troubling report that reveals a significant number of individuals who have gone missing and remain unaccounted for. According to CNN, the FBI is currently investigating more than a dozen Uzbek nationals who were allowed into the US after seeking asylum at the southern border with Mexico. It was discovered that these migrants had received assistance from a smuggler who has ties to ISIS. While there is no specific ISIS plot identified by the FBI, they are actively working to identify and assess all individuals who gained entry into the United States. Additionally, they are closely monitoring a number of migrants as potential criminal threats.
"How's it possible that an ISIS sympathizer is sneaking people into this country?"
JEAN-PIERRE: "We moved fast and successfully to disrupt it"
"Are you saying you know where all of the people this ISIS sympathizer snuck into the country are?"

This situation raises serious concerns about national security. Since President Biden took office, over 100 suspected terrorists have been arrested at the US southern border. It is estimated that around two million individuals have crossed into the United States undetected, posing potential risks to our country. In May, an Afghan national on the terror watch list was apprehended in San Diego, highlighting the ongoing security challenges at our border.
These incidents only further showcase the need for stronger immigration policies and border security measures. The safety and well-being of American citizens should always be the top priority, and these latest events highlight the importance of addressing these issues effectively. It is essential that the Biden administration takes immediate and decisive action to protect our nation from potential national security threats and restore the American people’s confidence in our immigration system. Without a doubt, the border crisis remains a significant concern that demands attention and swift action.
