Surging number of suspected terrorists nabbed jumping Mexico border this year
Washington Times ^ | Sep 20, 2022 | Stephen Dinan

The Border Patrol has nabbed 78 people on a terrorist watch list so far this fiscal year, according to new Department of Homeland Security data. Twelve were caught in August alone, the second highest monthly total since numbers began to be released earlier this year. The new numbers represent a sharp increase as the Biden administration faces growing pressure to tighten security at the border: Just 15 suspected terrorists were caught in all of the fiscal year 2021, and just 11 were caught in total from 2017 to 2020. Counterintuitively, catching more of those on the watch list is bad news, because it likely means more are getting through, border experts say. “Those are the ones that Border Patrol put their hands on,” Rodney Scott, former chief of the Border Patrol, told The Washington Times in an interview earlier this summer. He said those who are caught generally did not know that they are on the U.S. security radar.

Those who are aware are being brought in by smuggling organizations who are taking advantage of the gaps caused by the current level of border chaos. “Anybody who actually knows or has a fear they’re on the watch list, they’re coming through those gaps and holes,” Mr. Scott said. He said the numbers being caught are more than warning signs. “Those are rocket flashes going on to wake people up,” he said. The 78 people detained were all listed in the Terrorist Screening Database, the government’s main terrorism watch list. It includes known or suspected terrorists and those known to associate with them….

“Terrorist Screening Database”

~~~

How accurate is that?
Is it going to catch young terrorist recruits? Marxist or chinese communist infiltrators? Does it track MS13 gang members?

I have no doubt they have a list of MAGA supporters though, but that wouldn’t be useful at the border, would it?

What a sad state of affairs

The Feebs got tired of trying to locate individual schizoid Americans that needed some convincing to mass murder a bunch of school children.

Letting multiple Muslim crazies across the Southern border is so much easier. They’re ticking time bombs as it is. Just have to keep an eye on them, and make sure they’re carrying an evil AR when they unleash on an elementary school.

Alahu Snackbar!

Sounds like we need a meme of AOC crying at the fence full of terrorists on the other side.

Given that no border exists anymore, and terrorists can come and go, I have a theory that groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran and others probably have sleeper cells spread throughout the country and at some point, they will be signaled to unleash terror attacks inside the country.

Probably nothing like 9/11 but suicide bombers, mass shootings, etc...

Perhaps I’m paranoid about this but given how many terrorists that supposedly have been caught on the border, many more have probably gotten thru.

My hope is that President Trump will deport her to Puerto Rico in 2025.

Q. Why aren’t many-of-them sent to Martha Vinyard’s immediately without DeSantis’ action?

Better question. Why aren’t we shooting them between the eyes right on the spot?

Wait till Iran gives the word to all their people in the USA then we will see destruction and the media will say “What Happened?” or “Its all Trumps fault/” No need for fancy machine Guns or bombs in pressure cookers— a few road flairs on a hot dry windy day can set fires, or burn factories, refineries, electrical transformers. There is an invisible army and support groups within our borders. Now even the Mexican Drug Cartels would be impossible to defeat—if they set their minds to destruction.
