Illegal immigration in the U.S. is becoming a serious national security concern. Notably, a significant increase has been observed in attempts to cross the southern border by individuals on the terror watch list, with figures rising from 98 in fiscal year 2022 to 143 in 2023. More troubling, since the commencement of the Biden administration, an estimated 1.5 million ‘gotaways’ have been recorded, a considerable jump from previous years. Texans on the Mexico border have experienced an unsettling influx of illegal crossings, creating fear and unrest in their communities. Additionally, the economic impact is staggering, costing taxpayers approximately $151 billion annually, placing enormous pressure on states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona, and major cities like Chicago and New York. This escalating crisis underscores the need for stricter immigration laws and border control.
