The author argues that Trump kept America safe from Iranian terrorists by securing the border, but Biden opened the floodgates and let in thousands of Iranians who could now attack us from within. With current military action against Iran, these sleeper cells pose an immediate threat.
Conclusion
Biden's open border policies have created a dangerous vulnerability by allowing Iranian operatives and sympathizers to enter the US, enabling potential terrorist attacks that were previously impossible
Premises
- Under Trump's secure border policies (2000-2019), Iranian border encounters averaged less than 20 annually and Iran lacked operational assets inside the US
- After the 2020 Soleimani strike, Iran had no credible domestic threat capability due to secure borders and rigorous vetting
- Biden dismantled border security measures including the border wall, 'Remain in Mexico' policy, and strict immigration enforcement
- Iranian border apprehensions increased twenty-five fold under Biden, with 1,504 Iranians arrested from 2021-2024 compared to minimal numbers previously
- 729 of these Iranian nationals were released into the US with inadequate vetting, including former military personnel and suspected operatives
- Recent intelligence identified Iranian operatives already in the US, including a Revolutionary Guard member and Hezbollah affiliate
- Current US military operations against Iran create motivation for retaliation through activated sleeper cells that entered during Biden's tenure
Assumptions
- Iranian nationals entering the US illegally are likely to be operatives or sympathizers rather than legitimate asylum seekers
- Border security measures are the primary defense against terrorist infiltration
- Iran's regime actively uses immigration routes to plant operatives in target countries
- The timing correlation between policy changes and increased Iranian entries indicates causation rather than coincidence
