Our northern border vulnerability

Alpha News reported this week on information from The Center Square, indicating an alarming number Known or Suspected Terrorists (KSTs) attempting to enter the United States through our northern border with Canada.

According to the reporting, a record number (1,903) of KSTs have been apprehended attempting to illegally enter the country during the Biden administration, 2021-2024. Of that number, a staggering 64% (1,216) were apprehended at the northern border with Canada.

This trend has continued in Biden’s final year despite efforts and reports indicating the Biden Administration was addressing border security.  In this past fiscal year, 2023-2024, 44 KSTs were apprehended at our northern border while eight were apprehended at our southwest border.

This reporting is consistent with the vulnerabilities we have been emphasizing in our reporting at Center of the American Experiment. 

There are few issues of more import to the public safety in the United States than shoring up the vulnerabilities created by a porous border during the Biden Administration.
