As the conflict between the federal government and Texas escalates over the state’s right to protect its border from illegal crossings, a group of 10 retired FBI executives have voiced serious alarm to Congressional leaders about the massive surge of adult male border crossers from nations hostile to the United States.

“In its modern history, the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland, and, yet, one is unfolding now,” the FBI veterans wrote in a Jan. 17 letter, echoing the language Gov. Greg Abbott has been using to describe the flow of illegal immigrants into his state.
