When asked if he will once again seek speakership, Kevin McCarthy said, "I'm going to lead in any capacity I can [to] help to protect America".
Former US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Sunday warned that there might be terrorist sleeper cells hiding in the United States and waiting for the order to strike during the unprecedented illegal immigration at the southern border. Appearing on NBC's'Meet the Press', Mr McCarthy pointed to a new report released by US Customs and Border Protection that shows 18 people on the FBI's (Federal Bureau of Investigation) terror watch list were apprehended at the southern border in September, accounting for more than 160 caught so far this year. "It's going to be an uphill battle," he said, noting that these troubling figures showed there were more terrorists attempting to enter the US last year than over the past six fiscal years combined.
"If you simply look at what's the chaos right now, a wide-open southern border, I'm concerned about a cell sitting inside America today. We just caught 18 people just last month on the FBI Terror Watch List coming across our border, more than 160 have done it this year," Mr McCarthy told the outlet.
"When we're looking around the Middle East and the uprisings popping up around Europe and others, they could be sleeper cells right now in America. But this administration has done nothing to change what's happening on the Southern border," he added.
