Since before the ISIS terror attacks in Paris which claimed over 120 lives, multiple US officials and law enforcement agencies have warned that the country's porous southern border with Mexico, along with the constant flow of illegal immigrants, put the nation at risk of a similar attack.

Texas a precursor to ISIS invasion?

Back in February, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) released a report regarding their Operation Strong Safety, a multi-agency effort reallocating law enforcement personnel and other resources to the border amid the 2014 influx of illegal aliens.

In the report, the agency admitted the "unsecure border" could be exploited by "would-be terrorists."

"Crime has become increasingly transitory, transnational, organized, and discreet, and terrorismhas become more disaggregated. An unsecure border with Mexico is the state's most significant vulnerability as it provides criminals and would-be terrorists from around the world a reliable means to enter Texas and the nation undetected. This is especially concerning today, in light of the recent terrorist attacks and schemes around the world."

"Illegal aliens from countries documented by the U.S. Department of State as having a knownterrorism presence continue to be smuggled into and throughout Texas and the nation on a regular basis, and it is impossible to determine how many of these individuals have actually entered the U.S. undetected. Texas leads the nation in the apprehension of 'special interest aliens' (SIA), and there is alegitimate concern that terrorists from around the world could exploit our country's porous Southwest border to enter the U.S. undetected, if they have not done so already."

ISIS members have reportedly already been caught in Texas

Early last month, the director of the Texas DPS, Stephen McCraw, warned that people from countries known to have a "terrorism presence" have already been captured in Texas.
