In a recent video circulating online, an illegal immigrant from the Middle East is allegedly seen crossing the border and being questioned by a reporter.
When asked about his country of origin, the man responded with a mysterious message.
It is important to note that the video does not specify the location, even though it was posted by 1st Responder Media, which was actively filming at the southern border.
They describe the man as an “immigrant” who “threatened” the reporter.
“If you're smart enough you'll know who I am. But you're really not smart enough to know who I am,” he initially quipped to the reporter.
The clip ends with him saying: “But soon you will know who I am. Very easy. Believe me, I am much older than that.. You will see.”

Illegal Immigrant: Soon you will know who I am
It's hard to be sure exactly what we're looking at here, with an 18-second clip and no identity of the man being interviewed. Is it just a random person at the scene? Is he an illegal alien who just likes to run his mouth to get attention?
Or is he exactly as the source identified him: an illegal immigrant from the Middle East who poses a hidden threat?
We do know one thing: If this had been someone wearing a MAGA hat and saying “Soon you'll know who I am,” rather than an illegal immigrant, the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Justice would likely have already identified and detained him.
Women's sports activist Riley Gaines shared the video and the vast majority of people who have already watched it have concluded the same thing.
“This sounds like a threat,” she wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Open borders allow terrorists straight into our country. Joe Biden knows it.”
Biden also knows, through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, that there were a total of 169 encounters with individuals in the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) attempting to cross the border illegally in fiscal year 2023.
Another 38 countries have crossed this fiscal year, which began on October 1.
“I know the FBI tracks people using Bibles, but maybe they should take a look at this guy,” actress Patricia Heaton wrote on X after watching the video.

The shocking video above allegedly shows an illegal immigrant from the Middle East threatening to 'know who I am' comes as reports have emerged that the TSA is allowing immigrants to travel untraceable.
As The Policy Insider's Kathleen Anderson reported, a recent photo taken at the pre-TSA checkpoint shows a sign instructing “immigrants” on how to proceed through checkpoints to get to their booked flights.
“Basically, the sign states that if you are an 'immigrant,' requiring you to provide any accurate, verifiable documentation proving your identity is unnecessary, claiming reliance on sinking CBP One technology,” Anderson wrote. “It has been in controversy since its inception.”
Imagine this guy made a threat like that while standing in TSA line at the airport and they were given the option to have their photo taken “voluntarily.”
