Millions of migrants illegally crossing the border include terrorists on the U.S. watch list, creating a “powder keg” that eventually will explode, former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said Friday. Whitaker, appearing on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America,” said “reports have been pretty clear.”

“Eight million or more undocumented people crossing the southern border illegally — it’s just almost impossible to keep track of all these folks and to know what they’re up to,” he said.

“The reports have been pretty clear. … People just on the terrorist watch list are in the hundreds that have tried to come in this country, and the known got-aways are in the millions … it’s just … a powder keg. It is going to explode. It’s not a matter of when, but where.”

Whitaker noted that protecting the nation “domestically and internationally … it’s more than a full time job,” pointing to a recent terrorist attack in Russia and the FBI’s warning of U.S. vulnerability.

“I’m scared to death like a lot of American citizens, and knowing how these radical Islamist terrorists view the world,” he said.

“We need to make sure we harden all of the targets where people gather,” he added, pointing out: “Our system of freedoms in the United States comes with a great responsibility, and it’s not only just law enforcement, but every citizen, I think, bears a responsibility to have their eyes open and to pay attention to what’s going on around them and their environment.”

Whitaker, a former Trump administration official, also weighed in on cameras in the courtroom, saying they should be allowed for each of former President Donald Trump’s upcoming trials, including a criminal trial that begins Monday.

“I think the more light we have shining on really all part forms of government, including our courts, allows citizens to understand,” Whitaker said. “All of these Donald Trump trials should be televised. I think the people should see how weak the evidence is, how bizarre the legal theories and how novel they are.”

Know This. Your Sins Will Catch You


Numbers 32:23 “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” (NIV)

No possible escape. It’s repentance or nothing. It’s the cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus or you will die with your sins identifying you as one who refused the saving Grace of God.

There is no “excusing” with God. Over the last 60 years our society has been bombarded with excuses for people’s behavior. Remember the famous “Sneakers” defense? For those that are 30 years or younger, a defendant on trial for multiple murders came up with the defense that his mother ate too many Sneakers while pregnant, and some chemical in the candy bars affect him and that why he murdered all those people. That was the beginning of all the idiotic defenses attorneys conjure up to get their guilty clients off. It has become so common place, that excuses have become so much a part of our society as trends in fashion. Every one has an excuse; there is no personal responsibility any more.

Not with God. Sin is sin. Black and white. Society (and the 9th Circuit Court) will let you get away with your excuses, but not the Eternal God. Judgement is unavoidable without the cleansing, saving Grace of God through Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that only by genuine repentance. Any by the way, only HE can decide whether your repentance is genuine. There is no other escape.
