Record Number of Suspected Terrorists Crossed the U.S.-Mexico Border
Newsweek ^ | Oct 28, 2022 | Todd Bensman

Posted on 10/31/2022 1:43:14 PM PDT by Conservat1

Final fiscal year 2022 numbers show Border Patrol apprehended a whopping 98 watch-listed terrorists at the southern border, six times the record 15 caught there in 2021 (three were caught in 2020 and none in 2019). That’s also five times the number it took to carry out the 9/11 attacks that took America to war in overseas theaters for 20 years. For even more perspective, my 2021 book America’s Covert Border War: The Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration, quoted intelligence officials saying that American authorities caught about 100 on the FBI watch list between 2012 and 2017. That included individuals still en route and south of the border. The 98 ensnared in just fiscal year 2022 had all reached the border. All of this puts a sharp national security edge on Biden’s mass migration border crisis, the greatest in U.S. history by any measure. Biden’s first year broke all prior Border Patrol apprehension records dating to when the government began keeping them in 1960, at more than 1.7 million. Fiscal year 2022 came in at just under 2.4 million apprehensions. None of these apprehensions include the estimated two million who were not detained. People are pouring in at the simply incredible average rate of 200,000 every month, with no end in sight.

Amna Nawaz (of Pakistani descent) of PBS News Hour, in interviewing GOO personalities, kept using the term “cruel” a catchphrase for transporting some illegals to Martha’s Vinyard.

Almost all of these people will feed at the welfare trough.
None brings any wealth with them, but some do bring Fentanyl and other drugs.

Yet I see more hate towards H1-B people here who work at a job (visa only good until job continues), pay income and sales and all other taxes, seldom commit crime, and most important enable an outfit to remain doing business in United States instead of closing shop and using internet to provide programming services.

And scores of terrorists have gotten thru since 9-11.

Remember the pics of prayer rugs, korans(SPIT!), clothes etc littering the desert, before they crossed the Rio Grande?

They’re here, in the mosques, hiding in plain sight, ready to go after hundreds, if not thousands of “soft targets”, when they get their “go” signal.

I’ve wondered when the next catastrophic terrorist attack will come. While Fed intelligence “experts” are wasting their time on nonexistent domestic terrorists. And police are not allowed to ask them about their backgrounds in America’s cities.

Border officers have for a long time found Arabic language Qurans in the garbage thrown out by illegals at the less patrolled areas of the border. Very few from Latin America read Arab languages.
