“Texas Gov. Rick Perry warned a Washington, D.C. crowd that there’s a “very real possibility” that terrorists from groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are illegally crossing into the United States from Mexico.

“Certainly there a great concern that the border between the United States and Mexico is un-secure, and we don’t know who’s using that. What I will share with you is that we’ve seen historic high levels of individuals from countries with terrorist ties over the course of the last months,” he said on Wednesday during a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research and advocacy group, when asked if ISIS members had been crossing the southern border.

Perry, a Republican, said that although there’s “no clear evidence” that ISIS terrorists have already snuck into the U.S., there’s “a very real possibility” of it due to what he described as weak border security.”
