Dear John,
A couple of weeks ago, an alarming incident occurred at the main gate of Quantico Marine Base. Two men in a box truck claimed they worked for a company contracted to Amazon and requested access. As their story was being verified, they tried to drive onto the base against the gate guards' instructions. Vehicle barriers were activated, preventing their entry, and both men were detained.
Investigations revealed that both individuals were Jordanian nationals in the country illegally. One had been apprehended crossing the border, held for just 24 hours, and then released pending a hearing at an unspecified future date, in line with current border policies. Reports indicate he was on the terror watch list, but this information was not accessed before his release. The second individual had entered the country on a student visa, never attended classes, and disappeared.
This incident at Quantico is part of a broader, disturbing pattern:
|
- Just two days later, a vehicle crashed into the gate at the White House, killing the driver.
- In late April, a similar attempt occurred at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story in Virginia Beach, also resulting in the driver’s death.
- In late March, a Chinese national was detained trying to access the Marine base at Twenty-Nine Palms.
- As of late 2023, there had been over 100 instances of Chinese nationals attempting unauthorized entry into secure U.S. military installations.

These incidents, though reported, are likely just the tip of the iceberg. Admiral Daryl Caudle, US Fleet Forces Commander, revealed that two to three such attempts by foreign nationals occur weekly. The FBI and the Intelligence Community have been warning of the high risk of a terrorist attack, with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines both acknowledging ongoing efforts by ISIS to smuggle operatives into the U.S.
The current vetting process for those detained at the border is woefully inadequate, consisting of just five predetermined questions. Even if a records check is conducted, it is often meaningless, as there is no comprehensive database of global terrorists. Recently, an Uzbek man affiliated with ISIS was arrested in Baltimore after entering the U.S. illegally in February 2022. He had been detained and released without proper scrutiny.
The open borders and mass immigration stance, coupled with inadequate vetting, are putting American lives at risk. The threat of a major terrorist attack looms large, and the administration appears to be doing little to prevent it.
The pressing question is: Will the Administration heed the warning signs or continue to ignore them, and are we prepared to deter a real terror attack?
