"On Sunday, @DailyCaller revealed a Border Patrol memo warning there is a risk of Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah trying to get into the U.S. by illegally crossing the southern border. [...] Due to Joe Biden's open border, the U.S. is at a greater risk for a major terrorist attack today than we have been any time since 9/11." - Ted Cruz, United States Senate
