ISIS Fighter Chosen To Infiltrate US from Southern Border Makes Chilling Confession
By Benjamin Arie
Border and immigration issues have been at the forefront of politics since at least the 2016 election. Donald Trump, of course, made immigration a key plank in his platform, talking about border security when many others stayed away from the issue.
But while much of the border debate revolves around migrant caravans and Hispanics entering the country, there is a much more sinister side to the issue.
Conservatives have often warned that the U.S.-Mexico border could be exploited by terrorists who seek to do mass harm to our nation, yet this alarm has usually been laughed off by the establishment media.
It may not be a laughing matter after all. The infamous Islamic State group might be eyeing our southern border as the entry point for destructive plots, at least if reports of a disturbing confession are correct.
“A chilling confession from a captured ISIS fighter has shed light on how the terrorist group intended to exploit the vulnerabilities of the U.S. border with Mexico, using English speakers and westerners to take advantage of smuggling routes and target financial institutions,” Fox News reported Thursday.

One alleged member of the notorious terrorist group claims he was recruited by the organization to plan attacks on the United States, using migration routes from Central America as the starting point.
“Seized ISIS fighter Abu Henricki, a Canadian citizen with dual citizenship with Trinidad, last month said that he was sought out by the violent insurgency’s leadership to attack the U.S. from a route starting in Central America,” Fox reported.
That information came from a report carried out by the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism and published in Homeland Security Today.
Homeland Security Today, meanwhile, is a publication of the Government Technology & Services Coalition. It’s a fairly obscure group that most Americans probably haven’t heard of, but Homeland Security Today has some impressive credentials.
Their editorial board is headed by former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and a variety of respected military and Homeland Security experts make up its additional editors.
In other words, it’s worth taking the report as very credible.
