Moments after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a migrant from Turkey expressed bewilderment over how easy it was to enter and warned ‘killers and psychopaths’ could easily cross into America too.
The astonishing interview from Fox News highlights how even migrants are afraid of the loose vetting processes at the border.
‘In fact, American people is right, completely true. Who comes into this country?’ the migrant told Fox News’ Bill Melugin.
‘They don’t know. Whether okay, I’m good, but how if they’re not good how are they a killer psychopath else? No guarantee of that why? Like, like no security, no security check. No background check.’
He went on to confirm that he paid $10,000 to Mexican cartels to be shepherded into the country and that he is very concerned about who is entering the U.S.
The jaw-dropping interview, which was shot in Jacumba Hot Springs, California, shows how the area has become the new ground zero for migrants seeking to enter unlawfully.
The San Diego sector saw the most migrant apprehensions of anywhere else last month.
At least 37,370 migrants entered the US through the San Diego sector, which includes all of Southern California except for El Centro on the Arizona state line, according to the US Border Patrol.
In April, the San Diego region surpassed Tucson, which had been the nation’s busiest, and fell to second with 31,219 border encounters.
The Turkish migrant was not alone, though, and was accompanied by a number of his fellow countrymen.
According to the report, the Turkish migrants were denied visas to legally enter the U.S. multiple times – and so they opted to cross illegally instead.
The migrant further expressed concern saying, ‘people are not normal’ and that having a border where unvetted individuals can cross means the American people are ‘right’ to be worried.
Recently at the same crossing spot migrants from Pakistan, India, Iran, Jordan, Bangladesh and China have all opted to cross in the California town.
The Turkish migrant expressed dismay that killers and psychopaths could be coming into the U.S. as the border remains, in the words of DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, a ‘crisis’

And the Chinese nationals are coming in record numbers.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested nearly 25,000 nationals from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) since October, according to government data of crossings at the southern and northern borders over the last four years.
The recent figures represent an astounding 7,000 percent increase from the same time period in 2021.
Further heightening concerns at the U.S-Mexico border are numerous reports that illegal migrants have attempted to infiltrate American military installations.
Earlier this month, two Jordanian nationals in the U.S. illegally posed as Amazon delivery drivers in a box truck that tried to drive on to Marine Corps Base Quantico, one of the nation’s largest Marine outposts.
Their attempt was foiled by attentive guards that deployed vehicle barriers before they could get on base, but concerns over espionage remain.
China, Iran, Russia and terrorist groups from the Middle East are involved in attempting access to U.S. instillations Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., told DailyMail.com recently in an exclusive interview.

‘There have been reports that off of our military bases … that we have had foreign nationals here taking pictures and recording what’s going on.’
He also claimed that various foreign nationals ‘maybe getting jobs as DoorDash or something or other and then poking around, seeing what they can find out’ from the U.S. military bases.
Reports further indicate that foreign nationals have operated drones to enhance their surveillance efforts.
And Grothman warned that these attempts have grown significantly in recent years.
‘It’s not something that we believe was going on a very significant degree just a few years ago,’ he said. ‘So this new stuff.’
