In an earlier post I stated that I consider the ongoing unchecked invasion of the United States by potentially criminal, known criminal, terrorist or foreign intelligence operatives, assets, or threats via ALL borders to constitute a time of emergency for this country.

Here are a few things I found while taking a look into the subject.

FACTSHEET: Final FY23 Numbers Show Worst Year at America’s Borders—Ever – Committee on Homeland Security (house.gov)
EXCERPT
The annual numbers proved just as catastrophic. In FY23, CBP recorded more than 2.4 million encounters at the Southwest border and more than 3.2 million encounters nationwide. Just this fiscal year, 169 individuals on the terrorist watchlist were apprehended attempting to enter the country illegally, and at least 1.7 million known gotaways have evaded apprehension since FY2021. Americans did not need more proof that Biden and Mayorkas’ post-Title 42 strategy had failed, but unfortunately, that’s exactly what we have gotten.
Last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a 40% increase compared to September 2021 and 18% compared to September 2022.
Since President Biden took office, there have been 7.5 million encounters nationwide and 6.2 million encounters at the Southwest border, in addition to 1.7 million known gotaways.
In FY2023, 169 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry. 18 were apprehended in September alone.
So far in FY2023, CBP has arrested 35,433 aliens with criminal convictions or outstanding warrants nationwide, including 598 known gang members, 178 of those being MS-13 members.
In FY2023, CBP, including Air and Marine Operations, has seized 27,293 pounds of fentanyl, coming across the Southwest border—enough to kill more than 6 billion people.

The FBI is investigating more than a dozen migrants from Uzbekistan and other countries allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials.

FBI Director Wray Confirms the Border Crisis Poses Major Homeland Security Threat, DHS Secretary Mayorkas Stonewalls – Committee on Homeland Security (house.gov)

FBI DIRECTOR WRAY TESTIMONY EXCERPT

I think that sometimes people overlook the fact that Iran is only one of two countries that committed a destructive cyber-attack against the United States, and it has only been a few years since that happened. They have already shown a propensity for that. We saw, not that long ago, an attempted cyberattack from Iran against a children’s hospital in New England. This is an adversary that is engaged in conduct that is brazen and aggressive, and very comparable, in my view, to what we see in terms of lethal targeting that I described in my opening statement and to this committee last year. [This is] a country that has attempted to assassinate an American journalist, a human rights activist, right smack in New York City and tried to assassinate current and former U.S. officials here on U.S. Soil. The cyber threat they pose in some ways shows a similar level of aggressiveness.”
======================
As for me personally, I have grave concerns that both the national security of our country and the personal individual security of its citizens may already be irreparably damaged.

How bad could it be,
The native Americans had similar concerns, back in the 1800's
But everything turned out fine ,just fine.

Late last year either the AG or the Lt Gov of Texas said that, according to his calculations, there are over 60 Million illegal immigrants here. For some reason, the media, including Fox, are only reporting those who arrived under Biden and ignoring all those here previously.

My own estimates were around 50 Million, based on math, history and personal experiences, so I have no trouble believing that the number is closer to 60 Million in total.
