“I mean, I hate to point this out, but it is called the Department of Homeland Security, and our homeland was invaded for four years because Joe Biden left the border open, and we had individuals on the terror watch list cross into this country, not to mention the ones we just didn’t catch,” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman said on Fox News at Night when asked to respond to MS NOW’s Chris Hayes’ suggestion that DHS is more focused on immigration rather than terrorism.
“And as of today it is clear, you cannot talk about terrorism without talking about immigration. We have a Sierra Leone national, a Lebanese national — two different terrorist attacks. The Texas shooting — a foreign national. The National Guard shooting last year — an Afghan national. The Boulder, Colorado attack — an Egyptian national. There is a pattern, and it shows us that both legal and illegal immigration [are] contributing to terrorist attacks, so actually … you’ve got to talk about immigration if you want to tackle terrorism.”
