He is a member of Hezbollah. He was in the process of securing funds and resources for Hezbollah in the United States. Two border Governors have declared states of emergency over illegal immigration. This is something I think we can all agree upon. and it shouldnt be held hostage to immigration policies. The 9/11 Commission studied the problem. Border security is national security. At some point we have to come to grips with the fact that our Border Patrol agents need a border fence on our southern border in order for them to be able to secure an area where we are now facing infiltration by members of terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. We should listen to those agents. There is one who told me his personal story of stopping a man who had been trained in an Afghan training camp. originally from Uzbekistan. This man injured him. actually bit his arm as he was trying to take him down. He told me one of his concerns was. this was the second time this man tried to get illegally into the United States. Post9/ 11. we have to be serious about border security. This bill should pass this House.
