After a group of Republican senators revealed that some illegal border crossers were caught with explosives that were “tailor-made for terrorism,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is sounding the alarm on the potential national security threat posed by bomb-carrying drones.

“It’s an absolute fact that our southern border is out of control,” Mr. Grassley wrote in a letter to Steven Dettelbach, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which was viewed by The Epoch Times.
