Americans in the Lone Star state said they were concerned about who is illegally entering the U.S. after Customs and Border Protection reported a spike in arrests of potential terrorists and sex offenders trying to cross the border.
"Yeah, that's very concerning," Melina, a Texas resident, told Fox News. "Sex offenders? That’s scary."
Bleu, of Austin, agreed.
"Yeah, that's a no-brainer," she told Fox News. "Of course you're concerned."
Authorities have arrested 38 terror watchlist members at the southern border since Oct. 1, according to CBP. Border agents apprehended 98 people on the terror watchlist in 2022 and just 15 the previous year.
