The U.S administration denies claims that militants are planning to enter the country via the Mexican border. Conservative groups and Republicans recently stated that Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria militants are planning to cross the US-Mexico border illegally and initiate car bomb attacks, according to The Drudge Report.

Due to the report, the US base near the border increased security measures, and the officers were placed on a heightened state of alert.

Contrary to the claims of conservative groups and republicans, the FBI, Homeland Security, and other officials deny the existence of the threat.

"There is no credible intelligence to suggest that there is an active plot by ISIL to attempt to cross the southern border," Homeland Security officials stated.

Democrats believe that releasing the ISIS threat is merely a political move from the opponents of the current administration. The threat is allegedly done to spark concerns about terrorism, and make it seem that President Obama failed to secure the border from illegal immigration.

"There's a longstanding history in this country of projecting whatever fears we have onto the border," Representative Beto O'Rourke told The New York Times.

O'Rourke said fearing terrorist attacks that stem from the nation's lack of border security, results from a lack of understanding what the border really is.

"In the absence of understanding the border, they insert their fears. Before it was Iran and Al Qaeda. Now it's ISIS. They just reach the conclusion that invasion is imminent, and it never is," added the Texan Democrat who represents the area near the Mexican border.

Over the weekend, Representative Trent Franks stated on a local radio show that ISIS could be in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

"It is true, that we know that ISIS is present in Ciudad Juarez or they were within the last few weeks," Franks said, "So there's no question that they have designs on trying to come into Arizona. The comment that I've made is that if unaccompanied minors can cross the border then certainly trained terrorists probably can, too. It is something that is real," said the Republican from Arizona.

In addition to Franks' concern about the border's security, another politician from Arizona, Sen. John McCain, voiced out his concern about the same matter at a hearing on September 10.

"The fact is there are thousands of people who are coming across our border who are undetected and not identified, and for you to sit there and tell me that we have the capability or now have the proper protections of our southwest border, particularly in light of the urgings over Facebook and Twitter [by ISIL] for people to come across our southwestern border, is a great concern to the citizens of my state," the senator told Homeland Security official Francis Taylor.
