Republicans are warning that the terrorism threatening Israeli citizens could come to the United States's shores if the country does not get a better handle on who crosses its southern border.
Terrorists could exploit similar intelligence gaps to target the U.S. homeland, ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy warned in a Monday press conference, arguing that a porous border makes the threat, while hypothetical, all the more grave. Lawmakers from both parties want answers on the intelligence lapse in Israel. Sen. Mark Warner , the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told the Washington Examiner he expects senior lawmakers will receive a classified briefing on the matter once the threat from Hamas is contained.
The GOP has in recent weeks highlighted the frustration among Democratic mayors and governors calling on Biden to intervene. The attack by Hamas, one of Iran's terrorist proxies in the region, has shifted that border messaging to the threat of a domestic attack. Biden, seemingly cognizant of the political repercussions as he pursues reelection, has taken new steps to secure the border this year. He has imposed asylum restrictions and even backtracked on his promise to halt border wall construction.
"There’s no doubt about it, Biden’s open southern border is a national security threat,” added Sen. Steve Daines , the chairman of Senate Republicans's campaign arm.
