Greene wrote, “Americans are sitting ducks!! We have no idea who or what is in this country. All we know is we have millions of military aged men with unknown backgrounds scattered throughout.”

She added, “We’ve caught known terrorists at the border, but how many didn’t we catch?”

“Secretary Mayorkas must be impeached for dereliction of duty and for encouraging this invasion!” concluded Greene.
