In an era where the word “unprecedented” has been tossed around more than a salad in a health freak’s kitchen, here comes another shocker, folks. Senator Marco Rubio, in a recent jaw-dropping revelation on ABC News’ “This Week,” dropped a bombshell that’s got everyone’s ears perked up. According to Rubio, none other than FBI Director Christopher Wray himself confirmed the existence of a trafficking network smuggling people with ties to ISIS into the good ol’ US of A. Yep..ISIS. In America. Thanks to a human trafficking network. If that doesn’t make your blood run cold, I don’t know what will.
Now, for those of you thinking, “ISIS, isn’t that so 2015?” let me give you a quick refresher. ISIS-K, or ISIS-Khorasan, is like the bad sequel no one asked for. They’re the Afghan wing of ISIS, and according to Rubio, they’ve been busy bees, reconstituting themselves post the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.” Remember the withdrawal? Yeah, that wasn’t America’s finest hour, and now it seems we’re still dealing with the fallout.
Rubio didn’t mince words when he highlighted the gravity of the situation. These aren’t just any people being smuggled; they’re individuals with links to a group known for their love of destruction and chaos. And if they could bring their brand of terror to Moscow, as they recently did, killing well over a hundred innocent souls, they’d do it in the United States “in a heartbeat,” according to Rubio. The thought alone is enough to give anyone pause.
After ISIS-K claims responsibility for terror attack in Russia, Sen. Marco Rubio tells @JonKarl that the U.S. needs to remain "very vigilant" about border security.

But here’s the kicker – under the Trump administration, ISIS was “basically out of business.” Fast forward to today, and it’s a whole different ball game. With the Biden administration at the helm, ISIS-K has found room to breathe and plot, taking advantage of the lack of U.S. military presence to operate openly. It’s a classic case of “give an inch, and they’ll take a mile.”
And let’s talk about the southern border, shall we? With 9 million people crossing in the last three years, it’s less of a border and more of a revolving door. It’s about as secure as a screen door on a submarine. Rubio’s point? It’s a national security issue, plain and simple. If ISIS-linked individuals are being smuggled through, who’s to say what kind of havoc they could wreak?
So, what’s the solution? Vigilance, according to Rubio. It’s not about fearmongering; it’s about facing reality head-on. The existence of this trafficking network is a glaring reminder that national security isn’t just about bombs and bullets; it’s about keeping a vigilant watch on who’s coming and going. Because in the end, it’s not just about protecting borders; it’s about protecting lives.
