EXCLUSIVE — On the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said the threat of foreign terrorism still exists on U.S. soil due to a lack of security on the southern border.
Putting a spotlight on current problems surrounding illegal immigration, the Republican presidential candidate told the Washington Examiner that he believes the border crisis"has made us more vulnerable to a terrorist attack.""I think that there is a good bet that somebody that's come across that [southern] border will commit an act of terrorism," he said.
"9/11 was in part an immigration issue," he said."A lot of these guys should not have been in the country — had overstayed visas and whatnot." The attacks resulted in the deaths of 2,977 people, making it the largest loss of life ever on American soil from a foreign attack. "I felt it was my obligation to serve. So I raised my hand," the Republican presidential candidate recalled.
