Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) blasted President Biden for his lax approach to the southern border of the United States‚ warning that it left the nation vulnerable to an attack from a resurgent ISIS. “History tends to repeat itself‚ especially as it relates to President Joe Biden. His ideologically rigid open-border policies have laid us wide open to the growing threat of terror abroad‚” Waltz stated in an opinion piece for Fox News. Noting Biden’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan in 2021‚ Waltz opined‚ “[R]adical jihadists love a power vacuum‚ and what followed is a similar pattern to what we’re seeing unfold in Afghanistan. Our country finds itself with an almost identical threat we faced from ISIS in 2014.” “Within three years‚ the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) filled the power vacuum left behind by the U.S. and established a caliphate the size of Indiana to terrorize the region and inspire attacks across Europe and the U.S.‚” he recalled. Waltz noted the 2015 attack by Islamists in San Bernardino‚ California in which 14 people were murdered‚ and the fact that ISIS hailed the attack; the murderer who pledged allegiance to ISIS when he killed 49 people at the Pulse Nightclub attack in Orlando‚ Florida six months later‚ and a “wave of Islamic terrorist attacks across Europe.” Then he turned to current events: “In March‚ German officials arrested two Afghans linked to ISIS-K for plotting an attack against Sweden’s parliament. In December‚ Austrian officials arrested three terrorists with ties to ISIS-K for plotting attacks on Christian sites during Christmas Eve.” “What happens in Afghanistan doesn’t stay in Afghanistan‚” he declared. “This is a lesson that should have stayed with us after the September 11 attacks. … We cannot trust the Taliban to keep a lid on the rise of ISIS-K in Afghanistan. Just last year‚ terrorists took the lives of over 1‚500 in neighboring Pakistan through various attacks and the region continues to grow more unstable.  CENTCOM Commander General Michael Kurilla recently warned lawmakers ISIS could carry out an attack on the U.S. or Europe within six months with ‘little to no warning.’” “The Biden administration’s refusal to take our border security seriously is making us increasingly vulnerable to a terrorist attack and there is little we can do to stem exporting of terror out of Afghanistan. … Biden has left us with little options and has America on defense. Above all‚ in the short term‚ the border must be secured by reinstating Trump-era policies like Title 42‚” he wrote. “Biden’s continual refusal to acknowledge the mistakes he made has only emboldened global terrorism – and thanks to his open-borders ideology‚ we are now even less safe at home‚” he concluded.

Visitors to West Virginia may soon be greeted by a new state welcome sign that makes clear the Mountain State’s stance on illegal immigration. Moore Capito‚ a Republican candidate for West Virginia governor‚ says the reaction to a campaign ad that featured the state’s traditional welcome sign with an added “Sanctuary Cities: 0” below the population counter was so positive that he wants to make it a reality. “Since that ad began running‚ I’ve been getting great feedback from voters who really like the idea of adding a spot below our welcome signs that highlight our commitment to the rule of law by publicly stating we have zero sanctuary cities‚” Capito told The Daily Wire. “It’s a commitment to common sense and public safety that I think is worthwhile. As Governor‚ I’d like to make it a reality.” While neighboring Maryland and Pennsylvania have a host of sanctuary counties‚ Capito said that West Virginia would never let that happen‚ calling their very existence a “slap in the face.” “The idea of so-called ‘sanctuary cities’ – where the rule of law is disregarded – is a slap in the face to our democracy‚” he told The Daily Wire. “Look at liberal bastions like California and New York. Their sanctuary status tells people it’s fine to break the law. It’s a message that encourages crime. How’s that going for them?” In the ad‚ Capito highlighted his work in the state legislature last year to help pass a measure that effectively bans sanctuary cities by requiring all local entities to cooperate with the enforcement of immigration laws. Capito‚ who stepped down from the legislature in December to campaign for governor‚ was House Judiciary chair when the anti-sanctuary city measure made it through both chambers and was signed by Republican Governor Jim Justice. Capito said that the total number of illegal immigrants who have entered under President Joe Biden is more than three times the population of West Virginia. He said under his leadership the state would take action to make sure that illegal immigrants do not make their way into West Virginia. “We do things differently in West Virginia‚” Capito said. “We support law enforcement. Since Biden refused to secure our southern border‚ we took legislative action to protect public safety by banning sanctuary cities.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Other Republican gubernatorial candidates for West Virginia include Attorney General Patrick Morrissey‚ businessman Chris Miller‚ and Secretary of State Mac Warner. The West Virginia primary is scheduled for May 14.
