"Experts are sounding the alarm on the border crisis, issuing stark warnings on the national security implications of the surge after the number of migrant encounters for December shattered records.
Former El Paso U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte joined "Fox News Live" to discuss the record-breaking number of migrant encounters and why he is worried about possible terrorist attacks as illegal immigrants flood into the porous southern border."
"I was bracing myself for a terrorist attack Christmas and New Year's," Almonte told host Molly Line on Monday.
"Thankfully, that didn't happen, but I think the terrorists are already in the United States. They're planning a terrorist attack, and they're going to do it when we least expect it, and then that'll be the wake-up call when finally [we] will secure the borders."
"Last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were part of a U.S. delegation to Mexico City where they met with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
In the joint statement, the countries affirmed their commitments to "orderly, humane and regular migration" and stressed their efforts to tackle "root causes" of migration, disrupt human smuggling and promote private investment while also investing in "ambitious development programs" in the region.
"2024 has to be a change. If we don't see a change and elections have consequences, this is no better time to see that than now when it comes to elections and people getting in touch with that," Dannels warned.
"Never forget 911. We're living in a global unrest right now," he continued. "We need to secure our country's borders. All the borders and leaving them open right now is leaving every American vulnerable.""
