Staff Reports
FBI Director Christopher Wray sounded the alarm on Monday, warning lawmakers about the multitude of dangers seeping across the southern border like a leaky faucet during a Monday hearing with the Senate Intelligence Committee. And boy, oh boy, did he have some spine-chilling tales to tell about the record-breaking illegal immigration surges that have been running wild under Biden’s watch.
Sen. Marco Rubio, bless his heart, asked Wray about the perils of the “most eventful migration quarter in history.” And what did Wray do? He didn’t mince words. He kicked off with the illicit fentanyl crisis, revealing that the FBI has stumbled upon enough synthetic opioids in just two years to wipe out a whopping 270 million people. That’s enough to make your hair stand on end!

But hold onto your hats, folks, because that’s not even the worst of it. Wray also pointed a finger at the violent gangs who are wriggling their way into the U.S. with their grubby paws all over the fentanyl trade. These no-good gangs are wreaking havoc on American streets, and it’s all thanks to the wide-open southern border.
Did someone say terrorists? You betcha. Wray spilled the beans that 58 immigrants waltzed right in from the southern border with their names flashing on the terrorist watchlist. That’s like a bad joke, except it’s not funny at all. And to top it off, over 1.7 million immigrants have slipped into the country completely unnoticed since Biden stepped into the spotlight. It’s like the southern border has turned into a free-for-all, and the American people are the ones left holding the bag.
And as if all of that wasn’t enough to ruffle your feathers, Wray hit Sen. John Cornyn with the hard truth about the “unknown unknowns” lurking at the border. These are the sneaky folks who slipped through the cracks, wielded fake documents, or simply strolled in when no one was looking. It’s enough to make your head spin just thinking about all the unknown threats hiding in the shadows.
But here’s the kicker, folks. It’s not just the run-of-the-mill troublemakers looking for a slice of the American pie. Wray also dished out that tens of thousands of Chinese nationals sauntered through the border in 2023, a sharp uptick from the year before. Cornyn wanted the scoop on whether more of these Chinese nationals could have slipped through undetected, leaving us all scratching our heads in bewilderment.
You can take a breather, but don’t relax too soon, because this horror story doesn’t end here. Wray and his gang of intelligence gurus huddled with senators for a super-secret powwow after their public performance. But they’ll be back at it again, dishing out the juicy details on global threats to the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.
And there you have it, folks. The southern border is a hot mess of epic proportions, and if Uncle Sam doesn’t get his act together, it’s gonna be a rough ride for all of us.
