Danger lurks on the horizon, and many are starting to notice. Recently, Congressman Ryan Mast, who once wore the uniform of the U.S. Army as a bomb disposal expert in Afghanistan, has been raising alarms about the increasing number of dangerous individuals entering the United States, particularly from Iran. With several Iranians already arrested within the country, questions about border security and immigration policies have come to the forefront. This situation underscores the significant challenges that lawmakers face in keeping American communities safe.
Mast points a finger at the policies from the Biden administration, which he argues have created openings for individuals to cross the border, some even being suspected terrorists. His take? Previous lax enforcement and immigration practices allowed these potential threats to slip through the cracks. Mast warns that the influx of people into this country is not just a matter of illegal immigration; it’s a matter of national security. As long as policies continue to encourage illegal entry, the risk remains high.
Alongside the issue of border security, Mast raises concerns about the new Democratic policies regarding illegal immigrants. These policies, he claims, often work against the interests of public safety. For instance, he mentions the idea of sanctuary cities that provide refuge for undocumented individuals, including suspected gang members and even potential terrorists. The suggestion is that these policies prioritize the well-being of those who have entered the country illegally over the safety and security of American citizens.
In the wake of recent discussions in Congress about operations against threats, Mast emphasizes the need for a serious examination of sleeper cells potentially operating within the United States. The concern is that if these cells go unchecked, the situation could worsen. With the Trump administration’s stringent policies in the past, there was a focus on deporting individuals back to their countries of origin. Mast alludes to the intelligence that could be gained from such actions, noting how it could help build a safer America in the long run.
As tensions simmer and the threat of asymmetric warfare looms, it’s clear that vigilance is paramount. The call for stronger security measures echoes in the halls of Congress, urging lawmakers to act before it’s too late. With stories continuously surfacing about individuals crossing the border, it remains to be seen how the policies will evolve to address these pressing concerns. Americans everywhere should keep their eyes peeled—not just for policies, but for their own safety in an increasingly complex world.
