Part 1:
Todd Bensman: For every one illegal alien who is caught trying to enter the US illegally through the southern border, 3-7 migrants get through undetected
Polling shows that a majority of Americans want illegal immigrations at the US southern border to decline, not increase
Part 2:
Proof of concept is becoming increasingly more clear in Europe as terror attacks committed by migrants become a reality
Bensman: There's an ideology within Islam that seeks to dominate the world and establish a caliphate
The Fence Act of 2006 was meant to build a wall at the US southern border to prevent terrorists from entering the US
Part 3:
Traditionally, the US intelligence community has tagged immigrants coming from over 30 countires as Special Interest Aliens
ICE and other Department of Homeland Security agents are embedded in many Latin America countries hunting down smugglers
Part 4:
Security officials in Panama deported over 40 alleged Jihadists, Mexico deported 19
Bensman argues that people on the Democratic left deny that terrorists are entering the US through the southern border
Example: In 2017, a Somali immigrant crossed the US border, was detained and then released, after which he crossed into Canada, later ramming a truck into police officers
