The patrol of Gaza Strip border has little defense that was further weakened after Hamas attack on Israel.
Congressman Greg Murphy posted, "The REAL chaos is the Open Border where HAMAS and the CCP can invade. Food prices out of control. Weaponized Govt against the people. THOSE are the real problems the American people care about." This attack on Israel has highlighted the vulnerability of the open border.
According to Texas Policy, the 32 miles of border that separate Gaza from Israel are covered with walls, fences, cameras, soldiers, and law enforcement. However, this system was easily overwhelmed during the attack by Hamas terrorists. The attack resulted in a huge massacre, with civilians being held hostage and many other gruesome acts. The number of civilians murdered by Hamas has surpassed the casualties of the September 11, 2001 attack in New York City.
After the attack, the U.S. border watch has been lacking, according to VOZ US. The Republican Party and members of Congress from bordering states have expressed strong concerns about this being the biggest threat to national security. The number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. under Biden's administration is breaking records and shows no signs of slowing down. Border Patrol agents believe the actual number is even higher due to individuals evading apprehension.
Secretary Blinken recently returned to Washington from a week-long trip through the Middle East, as reported by the State Government. During his trip, he met with senior officials from both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The U.S. reiterated its support for Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas, but the level of support remains uncertain. The U.S. also acknowledged that the people of Palestine are victims of Hamas terrorism.
The attack on the Israel-Gaza border has brought attention to the vulnerability of open borders and the need for stronger border security measures. The chaos caused by Hamas serves as a warning of the potential dangers that an open border can pose.
