GOP Lawmaker on Iran's 'Wrong Move' and Biden's Border Policy

Iran's Threat and US Vulnerability

• ⚠️ Senator Markwayne Mullin states that Iran's threat to activate sleeper cells in the US was the "wrong move with the wrong president," believing it would have provoked a stronger response from Donald Trump.
• 🚨 Mullin expresses concern that Americans should be worried about Iran dispatching sleeper cells, especially given the current administration's perceived weaknesses.
• 🇺🇸 The senator criticizes the Biden administration for allowing numerous individuals, including those from Iran with criminal histories, to enter the US.

Border Security and Immigration

• 🛂 ICE has arrested at least 16 Iranian nationals with criminal backgrounds, including a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
• 🚫 Mullin contrasts this with the Trump administration, claiming zero illegal crossings occurred in his last month in office, attributing this to a secure border.
• 📈 The senator emphasizes the critical importance of biometrics for border security, citing the 9/11 Commission's recommendation to fingerprint and track individuals entering and leaving the country.
• 🏛️ He criticizes Congress for not fully implementing biometric tracking and suggests that the Biden administration has dismantled previous border security measures put in place by Trump.

Intelligence Leaks and Mission Success

• 📰 A leaked intelligence report from the DIA, assessing a recent US military mission, is discussed as a serious issue that dominated the news cycle.
• 🔍 Mullin calls for an investigation into the leak, stating that such information should not be disseminated, especially when it is used by outlets like CNN to falsely claim mission failure.
• 🎯 He believes the leak was premature and intended to undercut the success of the military operation, which he describes as a "new day for America and a new sheriff at the White House."
