Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source. More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S.

Naw, thinking outside the box is a big thing these days. Bring in "fresh eyes" to your problem. Someone completely ignorant about the issue may have some brilliant insights.

I notice none of you have commented on anything related to the article. Just deflections.

I think Biden needs to be investigated for letting so many people into our nation. He needs to be held responsible if some of these crazies does something.

Um, MSNBC scored lower than Fox.

So by your reasoning, you cant use MSNBC or CNN, right?

But Regardless Lamp,

What you posted means nothing in the scheme of things.

It's a FACT Biden released 700+ Iranians into the U.S. Citizens of a known country hostile to the U.S.

That shouldnt have happened. Period.

But I dont expect you to hold Biden responsible for that.

Thank God Trump is President.

Biden released 700+ Iranians into the U.S.

And?

Is that why, despite Trump saying he wanted to purse peace, he followed Netanyahu's orders and bombed Iran?

I'm not seeing the connection.

Do you think they all came to America to kill you?

How narcissistic of you.

You poor victim.

I think I found out what's going on:

"Amygdala hijack is a term coined by psychologist Daniel Goleman to describe an immediate, overwhelming emotional response out of proportion to the stimulus because it has triggered a more significant emotional threat.

The amygdala perceives a threat and triggers a fight-or-flight response before the cortical centers can fully assess the situation, essentially "hijacking" the rational response process. This can lead to impulsive reactions to perceived threats."

Why does this matter? The amygdala of conservatives are consistently larger than those that self-identify as liberal. Liberals consistently have a larger anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) which is used for cognitive control, error detection, and processing conflict.

Yup. Now that dear leader has told them so, the no foreign conflicts' mantra has been discarded.

Back to being the world policeman and throwing trillions of dollars we supposedly can't afford down the bottomless pit known as the DoD budget.

You really need to get out more.
There were like ten Iranian kids in my high school.
There's a few hundred thousand Iranians living in L.A.

If they were a danger, you would have been peeing your pants over the Iranians, not MS-13, for the past six months.
