McCaul Statement on Arrest of 8 Suspected Terrorists

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) — chairman emeritus of the House Committee on Homeland Security — released the following statement on the arrest of eight suspected terrorists who crossed into the United States illegally.

“FBI Director Wray testified just last week of growing potential for a coordinated, ISIS-like attack in the U.S., and it’s not hard to see why. President Biden’s open border has enabled terrorists like these eight individuals to enter our nation and live in our communities while they plot our demise. Instead of making flippant attempts to appeal to voters with more bootless executive orders — which fool no one — the president should be urging the Senate to pass House Republicans’ Secure the Border Act, which would fix the national security crisis he created.”
