This Monday, former President Donald Trump strongly criticized Joe Biden’s border policies throughout his term for allowing thousands of foreigners from the Middle East to enter the country.
“The fight in GAZA is ‘coming home’ to the USA. The tens of thousands of strong young men from the Middle East that have already “invaded” our Country, and are continuing to come, totally unchecked, will become a problem the likes of which we have never seen before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Crooked Joe Biden is a very ignorant (STUPID!) man, who has NEVER been right on a foreign policy issue in his life,” added the former president, who then asked, writing in capital letters, that they close the border to stop “the invasion.”
The former president’s publication comes after Republican senators, such as Josh Hawley, wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Alejandro Mayorkas, expressing their concern about the increase in arrests of people included in the Terrorist Screening Database.
In fact, in the first six months of 2023, more people included in this database were arrested (382) than in all of 2022 (380).
Likewise, earlier this month, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed that thousands of illegal “special interest” immigrants from the Middle East were detained at the southern border.
The data reveals that encounters and crossings with foreigners of special interest are considerably high. Between October 2021 and October 2023, “foreigners of special interest” were coming from Iraq (123), Lebanon (164), Jordan (185), Syria (538), Iran (659), Pakistan (1,163), Egypt ( 3,153), Afghanistan (6,386), Uzbekistan (12,264), Mauritania (15,594) and Turkey (30,830), as compiled by the Daily Wire.
