AFPI Executive Director Chad Wolf joined NewsNation to discuss ISIS suspects at the southern border.

In a recent discussion on national security and immigration, experts highlighted critical issues stemming from intelligence failures and border security gaps. The conversation underscored that the U.S. water system's failure was largely due to a lack of adequate intelligence, as pointed out by Christopher Wray, who noted a significant "black hole" of intelligence surrounding ISIS-K. This has allowed individuals not on watch lists to enter the country undetected.

Chad Wolf emphasized that the intelligence gap has been exacerbated by the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which hindered the ability to collect vital information on potential threats. The conversation also addressed the controversial "catch and release" policy, which has seen individuals crossing the border illegally being released into American communities instead of being detained. This approach has raised significant concerns about public safety and national security.

The panelists argued that the current border security measures are insufficient and stressed the need for stronger deterrence and accountability. The call for action includes reinstating policies like the "Remain in Mexico" program, which was implemented under President Trump, to manage the influx of illegal crossings effectively. The discussion concluded with a consensus on the necessity for more robust border security to protect American citizens from potential threats posed by inadequately vetted individuals entering the country.
