Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., told Newsmax Tuesday that under the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies, “every American is at risk” with the “wide open” southern border.
“There’s no proof of identity required to get into the United States anymore,” Green said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “The Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “In this open border, you just show up, give them a name, they take that name, and then they let you fly on an airplane. Yet an American has got to prove with Real ID that they are who they say they are to get on an airplane and fly in this country. But, from the border, you can claim whoever you are, and TSA is letting them in because DHS Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas has said that’s what they’re to do.”
“Just the 1.8 million known ‘got-aways’ and that number is a lot less than what it really is because Border Patrol can no longer be out on the border and see known got-aways, right?” he said. “The number was going up at a much higher rate, but because they’ve [Border Patrol agents] been concentrated at the point crossing centers, processing the migrants and not out on the border, the known got-aways number is not increasing at the rate that it would be expected to. So, that means all the unknown numbers, the unknown got-aways, is significantly higher and there’s no way to know who either of those two groups are. It could be a Hamas cell. It could be Chinese spies. It could be Russian spies. I mean, there’s no way to know. Our border is wide open, and every American is at risk because of the actions of this president and this secretary.”
