The Biden administration's open border policy has left America in a very vulnerable position, especially following Iran's missile attack on Israel, former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee told Newsmax on Tuesday.
During an appearance on "American Agenda," Huckabee said, "I think we need to be very vigilant because we don't know who's here. We don't know where they are. We don't know why they're here. And that's the problem. Having an open border means we've waved people right across. We have not so much as a piece of paper on them. No passport, no identification. We've got nothing."
Huckabee said there might be as many as 20 million illegal aliens in the country now.
"Not of all of those people are Iranian terrorists," he said. "It doesn't take 20 million. It only takes four or five to wreak havoc. But if we have hundreds of them, God help us all.
"And I think this is where we need to just start waking up. Immigration policy is also a policy regarding our national security, and we've acted like it didn't matter. Well, it does matter and we may find out the hard way just how much it matters."
Huckabee said while Iran thinks of Israel as the Little Satan, "We're the great Satan. If they were to destroy Israel from the river to the sea, their next target is us."
Huckabee said Iranians hate us "because they think we're infidels, and that we only can be useful to them by being killed by them, unless we convert. I mean, that's the radicalization that they are all about. So we don't, you can't, negotiate with people who believe you ought to be dead. There is nothing to negotiate."
