Waltz Says 'We're Going to Get Hit' Thanks to Open Border

The border crisis has sparked fears of a terror attack on American soil due to the high number of individuals on the terror watchlist encountered, some arguing that it is a matter of "when." Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) expressed this concern in a recent appearance on Fox News's Hannity, saying the only thing he knew to do was to reelect former President Donald Trump.

"What really blows my mind is to see Chris Wray, the FBI Director, come to Congress repeatedly behind closed doors and ring alarm bells, and I tell him every time, 'Don't cover your rear-end by coming to us, drive over to [the Department of Homeland Security], drive over to the White House, and tell them to close the damn border, period," said Rep. Waltz.

The Florida Congressman cited a recent report released by Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), which tracked the number of illegal aliens from countries that present national security risks allowed into the United States just in Fiscal Year 2024, which included over 33,000 Chinese nationals, 31,000 Uzbeks, 2,100 Afghans, 541 Iranians, and 520 Syrians.
