When Donald Trump first entered politics, he strongly urged America to secure its Southern border. Many other Republicans have since warned about the danger an open border poses to the country.
Yet, time and again, we’ve seen D.C. lawmakers do nothing about the border crisis. Under President Biden, over 7 million migrants have entered the country illegally.
Some Republicans have raised the alarm that Biden’s open border could lead to devastating consequences. Now, a migrant has been caught that is proving Trump and Republicans true. Because this man admitted what he actually planned to do.
From The New York Post:
A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by the US Border Patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody, he was asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied, “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.
Border Patrol caught Basel Bassel Ebbadi crossing illegally into the country near El Paso, TX. While being interviewed, the Lebanese man confessed he was a member of Hezbollah, the terror group.
He claimed he had been trained to commit “jihad” and intended to kill non-Muslims. He said he was going to go to New York and “make a bomb.”
This is consistent with warnings from Republican leaders that Biden’s open border is being used by Middle Eastern terror groups. The Biden administration has apparently ignored those claims, seemingly doing little to secure the border.
But now we have proof that terror groups are using the border to move people into the United States. If Border Patrol was able to catch this one man, what if more have gotten through undetected?
What will it take for the White House to secure the border and end the crisis?
Key Takeaways:
- A migrant illegally crossing the border admitted he is a member of Hezbollah.
- The Lebanese native said he intended to travel to New York.
- He admitted he planned on making a bomb and was trained to kill non-Muslims.
