America learned a hard truth at the House Homeland Security hearing on December 11, 2025: the National Counterterrorism Center has identified roughly 18,000 known or suspected terrorists who were admitted to the United States during the Biden administration’s chaotic era. That jaw‑dropping number came straight from NCTC Director Joe Kent, and it should sober every patriot who believes in secure borders and common‑sense vetting.
Even more disturbing, Kent testified that about 2,000 of those flagged individuals arrived under Operation Allies Welcome after the botched 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, a program that treated battlefield vetting as sufficient for entry into our communities. The tragic consequence of that lax approach was on gruesome display when an Afghan evacuee allegedly murdered a young National Guardswoman in D.C., proving this is not abstract math but real American blood spilled on our streets.
Kent did not mince words about the vetting failures, saying the administration repurposed tactical, battlefield checks as a ruse to rush people onto U.S. soil—standards that would never clear normal immigration scrutiny. This is the predictable result of prioritizing political optics over homeland security, and families deserve answers about who was brought here and why they were waved through.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slammed the record straight at the same hearing, warning that millions entered without proper vetting and calling out the open‑border policies that left communities exposed. Her blunt assessment that between 15 million and 20 million people crossed without adequate screening is a wake‑up call to anyone who still believes “compassion” excuses national security failures.
Watching Democrats try to downplay the murder of a National Guardswoman as an “unfortunate accident” was sickening and revealing of their priorities. When Rep. Bennie Thompson referred to the ambush that killed Spc. Sarah Beckstrom as an “unfortunate situation,” Secretary Noem rightly tore into the lie—this was an act of violence and a failure of the previous administration’s policies that cannot be brushed aside.
Patriots should demand immediate action: full accounting of those 18,000 names, permanent reforms to vetting standards, and a secure border that prevents dangerous people from exploiting our mercy. The Trump administration’s pause on Afghan visas and asylum decisions after the D.C. attack was the responsible thing to do while we rebuild a system that protects Americans first.
