My latest in PJ Media:
Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has announced that his state will be building the border wall that Biden’s handlers won’t build, and on Monday we saw yet again why this wall will come not a moment too soon: U.S. Border Patrol officials announced that a “potential terrorist” linked to “Yemeni subjects of interest” was caught in Arizona after crossing into the country from Mexico. Biden’s handlers resolutely ignore the evidence that their open border mess is a national security issue, yet that evidence just keeps on piling up.
According to Fox News,
… the 21-year-old man was apprehended Thursday night entering the U.S. from Mexico through Yuma, Arizona, according to a tweet from Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris T. Clem. He appears to have been wearing a jacket emblazoned with an American flag patch and another that stated: ‘Central Oneida County Volunteer.’ The man is allegedly from Saudi Arabia and ‘is linked to several Yemeni subjects of interest.’
Central Oneida County is in New York; Central Oneida County Volunteer Ambulance Corps Chief Thomas Meyers said the Saudi who was apprehended is not actually a member of the organization. It’s unclear how he got the jacket, but it suggests that he may have been in the United States before.
Border Patrol officials did not explain why the man was considered a “potential terrorist,” but there is nothing implausible about the claim. Rep. John Katko (R-NY), ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, distributed a fact sheet in October warning that “known or suspected terrorists are crossing the border ‘at a level we have never seen before.’”
John Cohen, the Department of Homeland Security’s counterterrorism coordinator, denied this, claiming, “That just simply is not the case. It is just factually inaccurate to frame the southern border as a place where we are seeing a significant number of al-Qaida or ISIS-related terrorists or foreign terrorists.” He said that the rate of jihad terrorists crossing the border was “very low,” and “low in comparison to people who are seeking to travel to the United States through the aviation infrastructure, through the northern border.”
However, when Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott retired last August, he released a video message in which he said: “Over and over again, I see other people talk about our mission, your mission, and the context of it being immigration or the current crisis today being an immigration crisis. I firmly believe that it is a national security crisis. Immigration is just a subcomponent of it, and right now it’s just a cover for massive amounts of smuggling going across the southwest border — to include TSDBs at a level we have never seen before. That’s a real threat.” The TSDB is the Terrorist Screening Database. Scott was referring to people who are on the database crossing the practically nonexistent Biden-era Southern border.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieriuk says
Porous borders Mexico has enabled jihad-minded Muslim men as that Saudi terrorist as well as jihadists of other like-minded Islamic terror entities to infiltrate into the United States.
Furthermore, illegal immigration from Mexico is dangerous because of crime by gangs of hooligans who enter the US through pours borders with Mexico. As for example, the gang of thugs called MS-13 who originated in El Salvador the come into America through Mexico. Those gangsters commit crimes as murders, rapes, drug dealing. They are also known, for a price, to smuggle jihadists of Al Qaeda in America.
In addition, to all this, with illegal immigration also comes higher welfare cost and an increased chances of the spread of contagious diseases, such as coronavirus.
Furthermore, with more illegal come more environmental degradation and more urban sprawl. Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American military soldiers who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not gangsters and jihadists.
In conclusion all the above may be summed up by the wisdom found in the words of Ronald Reagan when he as, so well, stated “A nation without borders is not a nation.”
Wellington says
Just one? If only.
Biden is the continuing travesty who keeps “giving and giving”—or is it “taking and taking?”— in the ongoing assault on the attempt to destroy America.
Biden is “merely” a cruel, temporary joke. Islam, by contrast, represents the greatest assault over the longest period of time upon the greatest civilization of any time in man’s history, i.e., Western Civilization.
N.B., Biden, whom I refuse to call President, will not grasp any of this. He grasps very little, never did, and now even less. The man is, a la Einstein, beneath contempt. Kinda’ like Mo’s creed which Biden stupidly and ignorantly defends to this day.
Pray Hard says
Obviously, John Cohen is a complete idiot.

Like so many others who are supposed to be protecting us from Jihad terror.
somehistory says
The so-called *homeland security* guy is a lying fool. If his neck, his wife’s neck…unless he wishes he could rid himself of her…or others with whom he has a close relationship, were being sliced, he would be more forthcoming. with the truth.
But, fools such as he, don’t feel that they are in danger and they don’t give a fig if other people are. It matters most to them to keep their lying boat afloat until they achieve their evil goals.

‘Potential Terrorist’ From Saudi Arabia Caught After Crossing Biden’s Open Border
………….
Yes–I’d seen this story–yet another Muslim coming accros the southern border. Just glad he was caught. I wonder how many more there are, though?
Walter Sieruk says
This should serve as a further example of the need fora strong tall firm US/Mexican border wall that’s patrolled by armed American troops who are allowed to use there weapon’s with impunity , if they need it necessary.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Walter.
With the right kind of wall – and armed guards – illegal crossings would be down to a very manageable trickle.
OLD GUY says
Not so funny he is entering America illegally on the terrorist watch list and he’s from the same place as the 911 terrorist attackers, Saudi Arabia. Is there a pattern here? Now add to that, our government supports buying oil and selling military arms and equipment to the same Saudi Arabian government that supports those terrorist. Just who is in bed with who?
GreekEmpress says
All it takes is one jihadi sneaking across the border to do a whole lot of damage and destruction of life and property. Unbelievable that Cohen doesn’t get this fact—
gravenimage says
Too true, GreekEmpress. The only reason a Saudi would enter the US from Mexico is subterfuge.
Walter Sieruk says
The “No secure border policy” of Joe Biden and his leftist’s political comrades are totally disaster for many reasons.
First, Muslim terrorist as jihadist who was captured who had originally come from Saudi Arabia as well as those jihadists of ISIS al Qaeda and other similar jihadist terrorists may now more easily infiltrate into America and there is drastic rise in drug cartel trafficking .
Second, in opens the door in an “invitation for malicious violent criminal gangs enter America through the US/ Mexican “border.” As the murderers rapists and drug dealing heinous gangster who a call themselves MS- 13. Likewise, now heinous rise in the drug cartel trade because of porous borders.
In addition because the criminals now entering America because of Biden’s porous border policy there is also a terrible increase murderous violence and vast destruction in America cities.
Forth, there is the drastic and deadly increase and of the coronvirus by migrants South of the US/ Mexican “border.” So much evil is now infesting the USA, “thanks” to Joe Biden.
Alfredo says
The Biden administration is turning out to be the most anti-American one since I have been keeping track of the political leanings of each one going back to the Carter years and I thought he was a disaster for the USA, but this fellow is even worse.
Just for starters he and his “woke” general Mark Milley surrendered the Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan without a fight?
The Armed Forces leave before the civilians? What? That’s against basic military protocol woke dingbats!
Then he leaves a gaping hole at the Southern border that is more like a crater for heaven’s sake! He even pays the contractor hired by the 45 to build the barrier to NOT FINISH IT?
What are these people smoking?
Afghani hash laced with Fentanyl made in China!?
The previous administration finally achieved energy independence and these bumbling fools give that up and become dependent on OPEC again?
With friends like that, we don’t need enemies. We have them right at home! Who are they? The squad and the woke Democratic Party!?
