Moments after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a migrant from Turkey expressed bewilderment at how easy it was to enter and warned that “murderers and psychopaths” could also easily enter America.
The surprising interview of Fox news highlights how even migrants fear the loose control processes at the border.
“In fact, the American people are right, absolutely right. Who’s coming into this country?’ the migrant told Fox News’ Bill Melugin.
‘They don’t know. Whether they are good, I am good, but if they are not good, how else can they be a murdering psychopath? No guarantee for that, why? Like no security, no security check. No background check.”
He further confirmed that he paid $10,000 to Mexican cartels to enter the country and that he is very concerned about who is entering the US.
The breathtaking interview, recorded in Jacumba Hot Springs, California, reveals how the area has become the new ground zero for migrants seeking to enter illegally.
The San Diego sector had the most migrants apprehended from anywhere in the past month.
At least 37,370 migrants have entered the U.S. through the San Diego sector, which includes all of Southern California except El Centro at the Arizona state border, according to U.S. Border Patrol.
In April, the San Diego region surpassed Tucson, which had been the busiest in the country, and fell to second place with 31,219 border encounters.
However, the Turkish migrant was not alone and was accompanied by a number of compatriots.
According to the report, the Turkish migrants were denied visas to legally enter the US several times – so they opted to cross the border illegally.
The migrant further expressed concern, saying that “people are not normal” and that having a border that unvetted individuals can cross means the American people are “rightly” concerned.
Recently, migrants from Pakistan, India, Iran, Jordan, Bangladesh and China all chose to cross the California city at the same crossing.
The Turkish migrant expressed dismay that murderers and psychopaths could enter the US while the border remains in place, in the words of DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, a ‘crisis’

And Chinese nationals are coming in record numbers.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has arrested nearly 25,000 People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals since October, according to government data on border crossings at the southern and northern borders over the past four years.
The recent figures represent an astonishing 7,000 percent increase over the same period in 2021.
Further increasing concerns at the US-Mexico border are numerous reports that illegal migrants have attempted to infiltrate US military installations.
Earlier this month, two Jordanian nationals in the U.S. illegally posed as Amazon delivery workers in a box truck attempting to drive to Marine Corps Base Quantico, one of the country’s largest Navy posts.
Their attempt was thwarted by alert guards who set up vehicle barriers before they could reach the base, but concerns about espionage remain.
China, Iran, Russia and Middle Eastern terrorist groups are involved in attempts to gain access to US instillations. Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., recently told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

“There have been reports that outside our military bases… foreigners here have been taking pictures and recording what is going on.”
He also claimed that several foreigners “might get a job at DoorDash or something and then poke around to see what they can find out” at U.S. military bases.
Reports further indicate that foreigners have used drones to enhance their surveillance efforts.
And Grothman warned that these attempts have increased significantly in recent years.
“It’s not something that we think happened on a very large scale a few years ago,” he said. “So this new stuff.”
