More Suspected Terrorists Found Illegally Crossing Southern Border In April Than In Four Trump Years Combined

With five months left in the 2023 fiscal year, 2022’s record of 98 watch list arrests will be easily surpassed in the coming months.

Border Patrol agents caught 16 people on the FBI’s terror watch list trying to illegally cross the U.S. southwest land border between entry ports in April, bringing this fiscal year’s suspected terrorist arrest total up to nearly 100.

There are still five months left in the 2023 fiscal year, which means that 2022’s arrest total of 98 people on the watch list, an all-time record for the U.S., will be easily surpassed in the coming months. Already, CBP data says 98 noncitizen watch list members were arrested at American borders in 2023, all but two of whom were caught at the southern border. Reports of more potentially dangerous foreign nationals trying to infiltrate the U.S. in May have also surfaced.

Ever since Biden took office in January 2021, border arrests have skyrocketed. The number of suspected terrorists captured by border agents may be small compared to the 1,734,686 and 2,378,944 illegal border crossers apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in FY 2021 and FY 2022, respectively, but it is important.

Not only is 16 higher than the recorded combined arrest totals from fiscal years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 but it’s the same as the total number of suspected terrorists apprehended at the southern border in FY 2021. Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection also suggests that the number of suspected terrorists arrested in April alone was five times the three watch list apprehensions listed for all of FY 2019 and FY 2020.

Every person crossing the border illegally should be considered a terrorist. What is the percentage of military age people? we have not only surrendered our sovereignty, but we are watching an invasion of her all around us without lifting a finger to stop it.

Surly someone knows witch bus they got on to the heartland.

And when they use their snap cards we can track what kind wire and batteries and fertilizer they buy.

The Border Patrol admits it can only catch something like 40% of illegals who simply don’t surrender.

So do the math, they’re here and no one is tracking them or even has a clue who they are. We’re on browed time.

That's it? No suggestions for possible solutions?
Do you think that the impeachment and removal of Myorkis might turn things around?
That's a solution. I see a finger being lifted. Don't you?

Anyone who thinks this is due to stupidity is stupid. It is intentional, purposeful, planned destruction of OUR country.

Biden should be impeached and his puppet master imprisoned for opening the Southern Border.

It's true that we are on borrowed time
especially sine we have an open border with no accountability
We have known undesirables, criminals, and known terrorists infiltrating through the open border.
All of this, thanks to the Obama-Biden administration, which represents Obama's third term.
History should record this entire administration under the sub-title of "The Chaos Chronicles"

Biden administration polices:

Both safe and effective! Embrace them today!


I knew the Biden administration would be bad, but I had no idea that his plan was to totally destroy our nation in as little time as possible.

Wonder what will become of the 30 tons of ammonium nitrate stolen a while back?
