“The crisis at our southern border, is not just a crisis for southern states,” Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) said in a fiery speech from the Senate floor last week.
And that was just the start of Sen. Kennedy’s message. In the video posted to social media, he also went on to say, “The numbers that I’m about to give you will make you throw up.”
All of this was in response to Biden’s open border policies and the ever-growing threat of terrorism exacerbated by those policies.
Kennedy warns of the “perfect cover” provided by Biden’s policies, which, he said, enable and even encourage illegal immigrants to enter the United States via the southern border.
Many of these being dangerous individuals, he said, adding, “President Biden’s border policies are not just a human rights disaster, though they certainly are. But his policies have also provided the perfect cover for terrorist sympathizers, child sex offenders, for cartel associates to enter the United States illegally.”
According to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Data, during President Biden’s administration, terror watchlist apprehensions have skyrocketed.
According to CPB- Statistics, terror watchlist encounters by fiscal year are as follows:
“Border Patrol apprehended 169 members of the FBI’s terrorist watchlist attempting to cross the southern border illegally in 2023 alone," Kennedy explained. "One hundred and sixty-nine. It only takes one terrorist. That’s more than ten times the number of potential terrorists that Border Patrol detained in the four years before President Biden took office."
During his speech, Sen. Kennedy also remarked that “all you have to do is mix in, because nobody is checking anything.” Additonally, he detailed the thousands of illegal aliens that border patrol has caught coming from countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, and China.
Due to the anti-American sentiment from these countries, the countries themselves are on the FBI’s “special interest” list. Thus extending the threat beyond just the people on the terrorist watchlist.

What about the man that was processed and allowed to go freely into our country who told the boarder guard he would soon find out who he is? Sounds like a terrorist who is plotting to carry out a terrorist strike.
