After Britain’s announcement earlier in the day of an increase in their threat level, the White House says they have no plans to follow suit, and officials say there are no specific threats from ISIS right now.
Ever since the US began attacking ISIS, naturally, the risk of retaliation grew dramatically, though DHS chief Jeh Johnson says any such attack is likely to involve American citizens traveling overseas.
Even though Britain raised their own threat level, they too insisted they had no intelligence related to any particular attack, but just believe that such attacks are becoming generally more likely.
The FBI is picking up its own investigations into ISIS recruitment in Minnesota today, after reports that the latest American slain fighting for ISIS was from the same Minneapolis-area high school as the previous fighter. The two went to school together with a third jihadist, who was slain in Somalia in 2009.
The last thing Obama wants is to acknowledge how easy it is for ISIS operatives to enter the U.S. through our Southern borders because it would force him to secure the border. As usual, Obama will wait until a mall, school or some other place is blown up and people die before he acts. According to most experts on national security, ISIS will strike in America sooner or later, and when it does, Obama should be held personally responsible for refusing to secure our border. Currently, tens of thousands of serious crimes ranging from murder, robbery, assault, rape, etc., are committed by illegal aliens as a direct result of the federal government refusing to secure our borders and arrest and deport the illegal aliens currently running around all over America. American spends hundreds of billions of dollars protecting the borders of other nations by posting thousands of our soldiers on their borders, but refuses to post a single soldier on our own borders.
Would've been awfully hard to pin terrorist attacks on dem Moozlms and/or others who make incursions into other hemispheres superficially plausible if, say, there was a zero tolerance for foreign presence policy…
I love how all of these people always emphasize 'southern borders' meaning Mexico, because what they really want is an army sealing the border to keep Mexicans out (and unwittingly Americans in). Why exactly isn't it equally as likely for someone to sneak across the much longer, much more sparsely populated Canadian border?
And what ever happened to the notion that if you don't go overthrowing governments and murdering civilians on the other side of the world, no one will have any interest in attacking you?
