East Greenbush, N.Y. — House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik released the following statement on the Fox News Report that an Iranian National with terror ties was apprehended at our Northern Border.
“I am in contact with border officials and law enforcement regarding the reported Iranian National with terror ties apprehended at our Northern Border.
Dangerous terrorists are capitalizing on Joe Biden’s open borders and Kathy Hochul’s Far Left ‘sanctuary state’ policies. Our overworked border patrol agents have made 550% more arrests compared to last year but are unable to keep up with the illegal immigrants from 79 different countries pouring through the Swanton Sector.
Despite these historic numbers, Extreme Democrats continue to turn a blind eye to our Border Crisis, sacrificing the safety and security of Upstate New York and North Country as well as American communities nationwide. Joe Biden and Kathy Hochul have failed. We need President Trump back in the White House to secure our border and save America.”
