Check out what RJ wrote in the Washington Examiner:
After a dramatic 11-hour standoff, the hostages emerged safely and an elite FBI team entered the building. After a barrage of gunfire, authorities said that 44-year-old Malik Faisal Akram had been killed.
Then reports circulated as to how Akram, a radical with a lengthy criminal record who was once monitored by British intelligence agencies, arrived in the United States, but it is still unclear. President Joe Biden’s federal agencies continue to dodge the question.
Malik Faisal Akram, a 44-year-old British national, took four people hostage at a Texas synagogue Jan. 15 before he was killed by a FBI Hostage Rescue Team.
Akram was allowed entry into the United States despite having an extensive criminal record that the Biden administration and its security agencies failed to flag. While no innocent people died during the hostage situation, the Biden administration could have significantly reduced the chances of this from occurring. The administration must be held more accountable for its failure to eliminate national security threats.
Reckless disregard for homeland security is not just an issue at the border, where Biden administration policies have triggered a resurgence of illegal entries, compounded by the wholesale release of unvetted migrants into the United States. The ongoing border crisis makes for compelling video footage. Still, it is only one facet of the administration’s deliberate sabotage of systems designed to keep Americans safe from attacks in their own country.
Last month, President Biden requested $13.6 billion in emergency funding to deal with record levels of illegal immigration. There is no disputing that the situation at the border constitutes a national emergency, but it is an emergency almost entirely created by the president’s own policies. As such, giving the Biden administration more money, without conditioning it on radically altering the policies that created the emergency, would only exacerbate the border crisis while plunging the nation $13.6 billion deeper into debt.
