Joel Rosenberg: Could A 'Nuclear 9/11 Be Next'?

Could a ‘Nuclear 9/11’ be next? 8.6 million illegals have entered US since Biden took office, including 149 on ‘terror watch list’

As Americans this week remember the horrific terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and honor the 3,000 people who perished at the hands of al Qaeda terrorists, several critical questions must be asked.

First, 22 years after Osama bin Laden hit the U.S. so hard, has Washington done everything in its power to protect the American people from another wave of foreign terror attacks?

Second, has Washington done everything in its power to prevent a “Nuclear 9/11,” that is, the detonation of nuclear weapons – smuggled into the homeland from abroad – on American soil?

And third, if not, why not?

As I interview current and former members of Congress, administration officials, intelligence experts and law enforcement experts, the answer to all three questions appears to be no.

To the contrary, like many Americans, I fear that President Joe Biden is opening the door to disaster.

After tens of billions of dollars have been spent by the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations shutting the front door to terrorists – namely, hardening America’s airline and maritime security – the Biden administration has opened up the back door: The U.S.-Mexico border.

Since Biden took office in January 2021, nearly 9 million people have illegally entered the United States via Mexico.

“By every metric, illegal immigration increased last month – at the Southwest border, the Northern border, unaccompanied children, family units and single adults,” said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to the data released in July by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Department.

“In the 30 months that President Biden has been in office, there have been 6.9 million CBP encounters and 1.7 million known gotaways,” Stein noted. “Outside of the people who work at the White House, there is no one who would consider 8.6 million people entering our country illegally to be a successful, sustainable, or rational policy.”

I certainly don’t.

This is an invasion, pure and simple.

NEARLY 150 PEOPLE ON “TERROR WATCH LIST” HAVE ENTERED U.S. SINCE BIDEN TOOK OFFICE

In just the first eight months of 2023 alone, U.S. federal agents have arrested at least 149 people on the terror watch list illegally entering the United States, according to the last CBP statistics released in August.

How many terrorists did the Customs and Border Patrol miss?

Where are those terrorists now?

What are they plotting – and when will they strike?
