Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigrant Studies, explains the threat of radical jihad on the border and why he sees parallels between the situation in Paris before the 2015 terrorist attacks to America today.
Bensman said the countless jihadist attacks inside Europe over the past 5 years are the result of the migration crisis that collapsed the European external vetting and asylum systems.
“When you have similar collapses from mass migration on the southern border, you have the potential for those migrants from those Middle Eastern countries to just waltz right in here unknown to us and claim asylum,” the author of America’s Covert Border War said. “It’s a very dangerous set of circumstances.”
