GOP Sens. John Barrasso, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz and Pete Ricketts railed against the Biden administration's border policies as migrants continue to enter the U.S. illegally.
"We have just returned from our southern border, and it is painfully clear that with Joe Biden's open border policy, our country is really at an increased threat for a terrorist attack," said Barrasso, the Senate Republican Conference chairman, during a press conference Tuesday.
Border Patrol agents seized immigrants carrying with them explosive devices "tailored for terrorism," he said.
Following the border trip last Thursday and Friday, Ricketts added that the country is "opening ourselves up for a terrorist attack."
Cruz, who has led several groups of lawmakers to southwest Texas, said Border Patrol agents are "frustrated" because "they risk their lives catching dangerous people, and they turn around and their political superiors just let them go."
Relax, everyone. Alejandro Mayorkas tells us that the border is secure. Nothing to see here! Adults in the room!
I think what bothers me the most about this is that if there is ever some type of attack or situation that happens because our border was exploited, Democrats will continue to vote for Democrats anyway. It’s always something or someone else, right?

I feel so bad for those agents. What an overwhelming, thankless job under this administration. (Same with the police.)
Hundreds of people on the FBI’s terrorist watchlist have almost certainly slipped into the United States amid millions of other illegal immigrants during the last three years, according to former federal officials and experts.
“You have to be extremely naïve to not be significantly concerned about this,” said Rodney Scott, former chief of U.S. Border Patrol from 2020 to 2021. “Regardless of what the Biden administration may claim, what it said during the campaign and the executive orders taken in January 2021 have been interpreted around the world as the border is open. You’re insane if you don’t think terrorists will use that to their advantage.”
Who knows. The only ones you know are the ones you catch, or the ones who blow something up.
Is there anything about this administration that you will not defend?
Maybe you can answer this question. How is this good for the US?
