Citizens of
China, Russia, and
Iran were able to make nearly 30,000 visits to sensitive American research facilities during the Biden administration, according to new data that was released by US Senator
Joni Ernst (R-IA). In total, 28,028 Chinese nationals, 304 Iranians, and 1,608 Russians were able to gain access to labs that were being run by the Department of Energy.
“While Iran’s regime chanted ‘Death to America,’ the Biden administration rolled out the red carpet for Iranian foreign nationals to enter our National Labs,” Ernst told the
New York Post. “They also gave entry to thousands of Chinese nationals and hundreds of Russians, who could then access and potentially steal American research.”
