The Biden administration’s abysmal handling of the border crisis in the United States has created ample opportunities for terror-backed sleeper cells to potentially emerge within the country. This heightened security risk comes in the wake of President Trump’s decisive action on Iranian nuclear facilities, significantly curtailing the regime’s ambitions.
Following Trump’s authoritative address to the nation on the successful U.S. military strikes on these contraband sites, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), seemingly in a state of frenzied scrambling, issued a memo pointing to a purported ‘heightened threat environment in the United States.’ All this alarm, yet it seems the Biden administration’s policies facilitate this very threat.
Despite severe damage to Iran’s nuclear capabilities and significant blows to their infrastructure by Israeli operations, it’s predicted that Iran may resort back to traditional tactics of terrorism. The possibility of Iran sanctioned terror attacks in response to their current adversity are deeply concerning, primarily due to the lax immigration policies of the Biden administration exacerbating the situation.
The advisory issued by the National Terrorism Advisory System didn’t specify any direct threats but emphasized potential dangers resulting from potential calls for retaliatory violence by the Iranian leadership. Ironically, the responsibility imperatively lays upon DHS to ensure the nation’s security, yet their policy failures seem to facilitate the opposite.
The current Israel-Iran confrontation, in addition to perpetuating geopolitical tensions, also presents potential security challenges for the U.S. The advisory bulletin warns of possible cyberattacks, malicious acts of violence, and antisemitic hate crimes. Sadly, it appears that the Biden administration’s immigration strategy is more of an ‘open-door’ policy that could let these threats walk right in.
Law enforcement in the U.S. reportedly disrupted several threatening ‘Iranian-backed plots’ since 2020. Despite this, it seems the Biden administration continues its complacent stance on border security – a position that could healthily embolden such hostile actors.
The DHS, despite its guarded tone, struggles to reconcile its actions with the country risks following its ‘catch and release’ approach for Iranian nationals crossing the border, leading to a looming security fear. An egregious negligence of duty by the Biden administration in failing to glean valuable intelligence and thoroughly vet these individuals needs to be scrutinized.
Fears are growing over potential sleeper cells within the U.S, driven by foreign terrorist organizations. This is a very real concern in light of the Biden administration’s lax approach to border security. More than a thousand Iranian nationals crossed the border during Biden’s tenure, but the accurate figure could be startlingly higher due to ambiguous tracking.
While the FBI has focused its efforts on domestic extremists, potentially more significant threats from foreign forces seem to be overlooked due to the chaotic border situation. According to a former FBI assistant director, the Bureau’s misplaced focus could have been better spent on international terrorists as opposed to perceived domestic threats.
The ugly reality of potential domestic terror plots by foreign actors came into sharp focus when federal prosecutors disclosed the arrest of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps member and two U.S.-nationals. They were conspiring to assassinate then-President-elect Trump and a U.S. citizen who held negative views of the Iranian regime.
The extent of Iranian intelligence and their ability to work clandestinely is unnerving. Their operatives appear determined and sophisticated, but the scale of their infiltration remains shrouded in secrecy due to our open border issue, a seemingly blind spot of the Biden administration.
The U.S. is home to a plethora of potential targets, making it especially attractive for entities with malicious intent. Concerns on national security were only heightened after Trump ordered the neutralization of the infamous Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020. However, it is essential to recognize that such decisive action was absolutely necessary to protect American interests.
Notably, densely populated cities with critical infrastructures remain ripe targets for foreign attacks. Iranian officials would likely explore proxy avenues to inflict panic within the populace. One can only hope that the Biden administration handles this serious threat adequately and doesn’t resort to the same inconsistency displayed in their border policies.
Our nation’s law enforcement and security personnel are now locked in a struggle to prevent potential threats from materializing. This is downright ironic, given that the Biden administration’s policies have seemingly made their job harder, allowing countless individuals to enter the country without proper vetting.
As diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the Middle East continue their precipitous slide, the National Terrorism Advisory System warns of U.S.-based individuals plotting assaults against pro-Israel targets, government officials, and military personnel. The Biden administration must take definitive action to mitigate these threats, or they risk further endangering national security.
