Riley Gaines calls out open borders as a threat to the U.S.

In the past week, Gaines, 23, shared a post highlighting the threat to the United States due to open borders. The former Division I swimmer, described an illegal migrant's interaction with a reporter as a "threat".

Supporting her statement with a video shared by End Wokeness, she tweeted:

"Open borders allow for terrorists to walk right into our country. And Joe Biden knows it."

The migrant, stated to be of Middle Eastern descent, can be heard telling the reporter:

"If you are smart enough you would know who I am. But you are really not smart enough to know who I am."

He added:

"Soon you will know who I am. Believe me, you will see."

Gaines has often called out American politicans for controversial statements. In an op-ed for the National Review published on Jan. 25, the swimmer said:

"The Biden administration, the NCAA, and various governing bodies threaten to dismantle it by pursuing policies that discriminate against women."

Gaines highlighted that the Biden administration is playing catch-up with the NCAA.
