Efforts To Stop Foreign ISIS Recruitment Are Failing, And An Estimated 30,000 Fighters Have Crossed The Border To Help The Terror Group

Despite of global efforts to reduce the flow of willing converts to the Islamic State group's ranks, an estimated 30,000 recruits have crossed the Syrian border to fight alongside ISIS, the New York Times reported. That estimate is double the amount tallied last year, when it was estimated that 15,000 fighters had jumped the border from 2011 to 2014.
