Weve seen historic levels from countries with terrorist ties (crossing the border) over the last months.
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Texas Gov. Rick
Perry was asked directly if he believes the jihadist group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq & Syria) had
already slipped militants across the U.S.-Mexican border after a border-security speech last Thursday at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C.. The Texas
Governor who
spent much of the speech castigating ISIS just days after the group brutally executed an American journalist said there was
a very real risk they were already inside the U.S.
Theres the obvious great concern that because of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across that individuals from ISIS or other terrorist states could be crossing the border.
I think there is a very real possibility that they may have already used that responded Perry.
One reason it wouldnt be surprising for ISIS to use the U.S. border as an entry point Perry said was the historic level of individuals crossing the border from countries with terrorist ties.
There is I think great concern that the border between the United States and Mexico is insecure. And we dont know whos using that.
What I will share with you is that weve seen historic high levels of individuals from countries with terrorist ties over the course of the last months.
Ill give you one anecdotal picture of whats happening: Three Ukrainian individuals were apprehended in a ranch in far west Texas within the last 60 days Perry said.
Perry noted however there is no clear evidence yet that ISIS which is based in Syria and Iraq has actually crossed the U.S. border.
We have no clear evidence of that but your common sense tells you when weve seen the number of criminal activities that have occurred and Im talking about the assaults the rapes the murders by individuals who have come into this country illegally over the last five years the idea that they would not be looking at the border ... is not a good place to be said Perry.
