Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow at CIS, told LifeZette that Johnson’s memo suggests there is good reason to be concerned about the potential of terrorists to sneak across the U.S.-Mexican border.
“The Obama administration was the one that saw this particular traffic coming across the border in its last year,” Bensman said, referring to notice given to individuals with potential terrorist links who are described as “Special Interest Aliens” (SIA).
