Cruz: ISIS has already entered the United States

About a year ago, Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr. (R-Calif.) insisted ISIS militants had already entered the United States through the Southern border. All available evidence suggested his claims werecompletely untrue – even his fellow Republicans said they had no idea what Hunter was talking about – and it quickly became apparent that the threat wasn’t real.

 

Thirteen months later, Ted Cruz isn’t going quite as far as Hunter, but he seems to have headed down a similar path. BuzzFeed reported yesterday on the senator’s recent chat with Glenn Beck.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said ISIS is already in the United States and more are coming.

 

“Well look, you’re right, eight Syrians were picked up in Texas trying to cross over illegally, and this is the consequence of the president refusing to enforce the law,” Cruz told radio host Glenn Beck last week. “We have a serious national security risk because our southern border is not enforced.”
