Border Czar Tom Homan was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the threat of Iranian sleeper cells inside the United States.
“How many Iranians are in the country that are in sleeper cells trying to do bad to America, right now?” Bartiromo asked.
“I said the last four years my biggest concern was this open border, was the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen,” Homan said.
“I pulled numbers this morning just from CBP under Joe Biden. There was 1,272 nationals Iran released in the country,” Homan said.
“You compare that to the Trump administration, zero, right? Zero releases,” Homan continued.
“Because of President Trump’s leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime. The most secure border in the history of this nation,” Homan continued.
Homan blamed Biden for the millions of illegals that crossed the border illegally during his administration which created a national security crisis in the US.
“Under Joe Biden, we had over 10 million people cross that border,” Homan said.
“More than two million known gotaways, over two million people crossed that border. We don’t know who they are, where they came from because they got away cause Border Patrol is so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created,” Homan explained.
“You have that on surveillance, seeing people get away. Do you have a sense of where they went?” Bartiromo asked.
“Intelligence community under President Trump has been on this since day one,” Homan said.
Homan explained that there has been significant evidence that there were illegals from Iran and other parts of the middle east that entered the country illegally and got away.
“Do we know where everyone of the two million are? No, we don’t know who they all are. We don’t know why they are here or where they came from, but we do know, Border Patrol intelligence the last four years. They have found prayer mats south of the border. They have found identification from people from Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Syria south of the border,” Homan explained.
“We know that some terrorists have crossed that border. We’d be a fool to think zero crossed,” Homan warned.
