Escondido – Following a visit yesterday to the California-Mexico border region of his district, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, requested a classified briefing on the national security threats posed by the dramatic increase of illegal migrants from special interest nations entering the country through our open southern border.
“I traveled yesterday to a rural border region of my district and observed that the Biden-made crisis is far worse than publicly reported or realized. I can confirm that thousands of illegal migrants from adversarial nations, including China, Russia, and Syria, have crossed into our Jacumba Springs community – and more arrive every day. This is the consequence of Biden’s open-border policies and his open invitation to the world to violate U.S. law and allow these aliens to remain here indefinitely.
“The risks to our national security are real, and that’s why I am requesting a classified briefing from this administration to explain what it knows about this threat that benefits our adversaries, undermines our sovereignty, and endangers the American people.”
