Ex-border chief on bipartisan calls for answers on conflicting reports of 4 objects shot down: ‘Where is the President’
Mark Morgan, Former Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner discusses recent takedowns of Chinese spy balloon and 3 other unidentified objects over the weekend, bipartisan questions for transparency once again from Biden administration concerning U.S. border and national security, and growing calls for President Biden to address nation. Morgan comments, “for the past couple of years, specifically, we've been so overly focused on the southern border. But we've been saying for a very, very long time that to protect our nation, it's not just about the southern border, it's about all of our land borders. Some people forget about the northern border, for example, the shared border with the United States and Canada is actually two and a half times the land border we share with Mexico.” Explaining, “our northern border is over 5000 Linear miles that we share with Canada and there's a real threat the intelligence community has said whether through Canadian homegrown violent extremists, it also has one of the largest maritime environments that we share between two nations, and just on that, we have a coastal waterways as well. And our air, it's all the threat, it's all a vulnerability, it’s a massive issue right now across our country. But again, most of our concern is just on the land, the southern border.”
