Republican Congresswoman Warns Americans to 'Remain Vigilant,' Be 'Prepared to Defend' Yourselves

Share

Rep. Mary Miller has a warning for all Americans.

The Illinois Republican Congresswoman used her social media platform to warn people about the threat posed by uncontrolled, mass illegal immigration and the importance of being ready to exercise one’s Second Amendment rights.

“Americans must remain vigilant and prepared to defend ourselves and our families since Joe Biden has opened our southern border and we have no idea who has crossed into our country,” she said.

“The Second Amendment is the great safeguard of liberty & security,” she added. “Never give up your 2A rights.”

Miller’s comments come at a time when thousands of illegals continue to pour into America every day, and authorities have next to no information about their personal or criminal history.

Back in August, CNN reported that over a dozen migrants from Uzbekistan and other countries had entered the country through the U.S.-Mexico border with the help of a human trafficker with ties to Islamic State, known as ISIS.

In an article for Fox News, GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas similarly warned that the “wide open border has created the gravest US terror threat in years.”

“So far this year, the Border Patrol has encountered 146 known foreign terrorists attempting to cross the southern border — a nearly 50 percent increase compared to last year’s 98 encounters,” Cotton wrote in an article published last month.

Do we have a border crisis?

“And that’s just the ones we caught — no one knows how many made it through,” he continued. “While terrorists have long tried to cross our border, they have never done so in such great numbers.

“During the previous administration, an average of only three foreign terrorists attempted to cross our southern border illegally each year,” he added.

Meanwhile, GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida has also raised the alarm about the potential threat posed by illegal immigration.

“According to DHS in  2022, there were over 600,000 illegals that got away,” she wrote on X. “How many of those 600,000 individuals are terrorists? This year USBP has encountered 146 known foreign terrorists attempting to cross the southern border?”

Former President Donald Trump also spoke out on the issue this week, arguing that America could be subject to an attack from Islamists because of the Biden administration’s refusal to secure the border.

“The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA, through our TOTALLY OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER, at Record Numbers. Are they planning an attack within our Country?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Last month, NBC reported that Border Patrol had apprehended 160 individuals who matched people on the U.S. Terrorist Screening Dataset as of July 2023. When including U.S. citizens listed on the dataset, the total count rises to 216.


 

 

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?

That happened to me recently. I got up, came to work here at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had happened almost instantly.

But it was even worse. Facebook hit us at the same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. "Brutal" is a word I’ve used a lot lately.

The fight for the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul is brutal. What the government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused children is brutal.

It’s a fight we must win. But we can’t win without you.

A subscription to The Western Journal will go much farther than you think. It costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content news, commentary, and premium articles you’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight against leftism.

Can I count on you to subscribe today? We need your help. Benjamin Franklin summed up the situation we're all facing when he said, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

We plan to hang in and fight. Please help us. Please subscribe today.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
