'It is a time to be concerned'FBI Director Christopher Wray said the United States has entered a "dangerous period" amid the Israel-Hamas war, with fears of Middle Eastern terrorists entering the country while the bureau is unable to detect all individuals coming across the porous southern border.
"What has now increased is the greater possibility of one of these foreign terrorist organizations directing an attack in the United States," Wray told senators Tuesday at the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing.
He said foreign terrorist organizations, such as al-Qaida, ISIS, and Hezbollah, were calling for attacks on the United States and the West as the war between Israel and the terror group Hamas escalates.
"It is a time to be concerned. We are in a dangerous period," Wray told U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who questioned him on whether the FBI was able to track all threats and prevent attacks on America.
"I couldn't say that we're able to detect all individuals," Wray responded, noting that "the gaps in our intelligence are real and it's something that we have concerns about," Just the News reported Tuesday.
In an X post Wednesday, Scott reposted an illustration by Fox News' acclaimed border reporter Bill Melugin using football stadium crowds to show the huge number of estimated gotaways (600,000) in FY2023. Scott wrote: "This puts into perspective just how many cartels, criminals and terrorists might have come into our country untracked and without fear of the consequences. It's INSANE and a direct consequence of Biden’s dangerous border policies."
JTN reported: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reported more than 7 million migrant encounters at the southwest land border since President Joe Biden took office."
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who visited the border along with Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and other Republican senators, sent an X post Tuesday in which he wrote: "Three days before Senate Republicans arrived at the border, Border Patrol seized an illegal migrant with explosives tailor-made for terrorists. It’s painfully clear @POTUS’ strategy is putting our nation at risk. Any additional funding must be used to stop the flow immediately."
