Authorities recently reported that over 50,000 "special interest aliens" (SIAs) have been encountered at the United States' borders since Oct. 1, 2023, and Syrian nationals were among those who have illegally entered the Texas border. The announcement came on the same day the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) apprehended 31 illegal migrants in Maverick County, right on the border with Mexico. The migrants included two Syrian nationals who had been living in Venezuela. The other 29 were from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. They were taken into custody and brought to the Val Verde Processing Center in Del Rio. The video that was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by TxDPS spokesperson Chris Olivarez included the Syrians talking about their plight to reach Texas. One follower commented: "Just walked from Syria wearing a perfectly starched and spotless white shirt," referring to the border crosser who was wearing a clean shirt despite claiming to have walked from Venezuela to Colombia, rode a boat from Colombia to Nicaragua, walked again from Nicaragua to Honduras to Guatemala to Mexico until they reached the Texas border. Meanwhile, another social media user replied in the thread saying: "Isis undercover operatives." Chief of U.S. Border Patrol Jason Owens also revealed the significant number of SIAs encountered this fiscal year, with the San Diego Sector accounting for 88 percent of the apprehensions. He referred to them as "special interest migrants," a term initially introduced by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). According to DHS, an SIA is a non-American who, based on travel patterns, might pose a national security risk to the U.S. or its interests, often linked to potential terrorism. U.S. Fleet Forces Command Admiral Daryl Caudle recently discussed how the surge of SIA is raising national security concerns. He said on Fox News that the frequent attempts by foreign nationals to penetrate military bases occur “two or three times a week.” “This thing of our military bases getting penetrated by foreign nationals is happening more and more. This is something we see probably two or three times a week, where we’re stopping these folks at the gate,” he said. “And this is just Navy alone, where we’re seeing folks trying to come in.”

TOO LATE? Biden finally acting on the border crisis

President Joe Biden has finally decided to do something about the border crisis that he just allowed to escalate throughout his term. He reportedly plans to sign the executive order that will more strictly cap illegal crossings. If the number of crossings average 2,500 a day, then border officials would be able to quickly expel migrants without a chance for asylum. In December, there was an all-time monthly record of migrant encounters, with 250,000 crossing into the U.S. from Mexico. In the first three weeks of May, the U.S. Border Patrol reported a daily average of 3,700 apprehensions of migrants, according to internal government data obtained by CBS News. He seemed not to be bothered by the burgeoning number of illegal aliens and the people’s opinion via surveys regarding his "weak border policies." In fact, in his first days in office, Biden used his executive authority to end the "Remain in Mexico" policy of former President Donald Trump that helped curb fraudulent asylum claims that have overwhelmed the southern border. He also made people believe that he’s helpless to slow down border encounters that have more than doubled during his tenure and that he’s reliant on Congress to help out.
