ISIS And The National Security Vulnerabilities Of An Insecure Border

 The group you should be most worried about is Islamic State and especially its subsidiary, ISIS Khorasan, which has both the motive and - thanks to President Biden's border policies - the opportunity to strike the heart of America.

In an August 2023 paper, the Institute for the Study of War explained that the Syrian-Iranian-Russian coalition is actively attempting to push the United States out of Syria, even while opposing an ongoing ISIS threat.

ISIS Threat to the United States? One could view the ISIS-K attack at Karzai airport as purely opportunistic, given that the group is hostile to both the Taliban and American interests, but does ISIS pose a threat to our homeland?

The United States would be considered a very juicy target for ISIS and any of its affiliates or supporters around the world.

I suspect it's just a matter of time before there is another ISIS attack in the United States.

In the past, most alien terrorists entered the United States legally but fraudulently, as my colleague Steven Camarota explained in his seminal May 2022 work, "The Open Door, How Militant Islamic Terrorists Entered the United States, 1993-2001".

Few ISIS-K attacks would be more "Audacious" than one along the lines of - or bloodier than - the Crocus City Hall attack here in the United States.
