Remember, no violence. Political differences need to be settled at the ballot box. Now, let’s get on to what the political talking heads have been talking about recently. Today I will pick the United States southern border. As we all know, there is a crisis going on at the U.S./Mexico border. The border is basically wide open and as anyone who reads my posts knows, open borders is something I do not agree with.
But with this post, I want to talk about a specific problem/threat that we have. “Specific Interest Aliens.” I first heard this term on Fox news. It is regarding migrants who come into the United States from certain countries. It’s really interesting and scary at the same time. Especially since our southern border is wide open and many are coming in record numbers and are unvetted.
These aliens are of specific interest because they come from countries known to not like the United States. What are some of these countries? Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Stria, Yemen and Turkey. These are not all the countries on the list, but they are the ones I want to stress.
So, how many have come into the United States from these countries unvetted? Let’s see. Afghanistan 6, 386. Iran 659 Iraq 123 Lebanon 164 Syria 538 Yemen 139 and Turkey with 30, 830. Source: CBP Sources to Fox news. 10/1/21-10/4/23.
These are the ones that our government knows about. But as we should have learned by what happened in Israel on October 7, 2023, borders have to be controlled. It is a national security issue for sure. Afghanistan for sure should get our attention.
The Taliban for example. They obviously have no love for the United States and would do us harm if they could. Why would any administration let people come into the states from these countries and be unvetted? Why indeed. We probably have no idea how many are here that we know nothing about since they were not caught.
Scared yet? I am. Hopefully we will not have another terrorist attack in the U.S. that will be linked to our southern border. You see, there really is nothing racist about wanting to secure our border and keep it that way. 659 from Iran! That is insane. Iran, as we al know, calls us the great Satan.
Iran cannot be trusted. They are constantly saying they will get involved in the israel/hamas war if Israel goes into Gaza from the ground. That would mean the United States would get involved. At least that is my thinking from what I have been hearing from the political talking heads.
Border security is national security. Hopefully our next president in 2025 will not put his or her own political interests ahead of their country. Hopefully he or she will put the American citizens first like our elected officials are supposed to do. Hopefully we will try to vet some who have been coming into our country unvetted. Remember, border security is national security.
