While our soldiers remain in the Middle East protecting Iranian proxies from Sunni insurgents, Iran is using its proxies in Venezuela to subvert our border. We’re joined today by Joseph Humire, executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society and one of the foremost experts on Latin American affairs, who first warned on this show years ago that Venezuela would become our Syria. Well, now it is. Venezuela is the number-one sending country of illegal aliens, but it has also become a visa mill and logistics platform for Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian intelligence. There is no way we are not allowing those elements into our country, along with the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants. Our blindness to our own border and hemisphere has allowed all the bad actors in the Middle East to utilize Venezuela as a staging ground for narco-terrorism. That same staging ground now has a land bridge right to our border. Humire also warns that Colombia is the next shoe to drop that will send millions more to our border. We don’t have any visionaries among Republicans with a strategy to shut this down.
