As the U.S. southern border becomes a growing issue for voters, Sen. Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, warned Sunday that ISIS-K terrorists could attempt to exploit the border to launch an attack against Americans, like the deadly attack that the group carried out. claimed to have executed him on Friday in Moscow.

Rubio, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said during an appearance on ABC's “This Week” that Americans “should be very concerned” about the potential threat of ISIS-K after the FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed to him that the terrorist group had its own human trafficking network.

“I think common sense tells you that if they are running a human trafficking ring, they will most certainly use it to move agents into the United States,” Rubio said. “So I'm not claiming that there is an imminent threat to the United States, but I am saying that the border situation and the existence of this network poses a threat to the United States.”

“If they could do what they did in Moscow, in the United States, they would do it in a heartbeat,” Rubio added. “They want to do it.”

Rubio said that since the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan, the terrorist group can now operate openly despite opposition from the Taliban, who he said do not have “the capacity” to confront them.

Rubio also claims that ISIS-K's aspirations go beyond infiltration from Iran and Russia.
