Thousands of 'special interest aliens' from Middle East countries stopped at southern border since 2021: data

Thousands of "special interest aliens" from numerous countries, including the Middle East, have been arrested by Border Patrol agents while attempting to cross the U.S. southern border illegally over the last two years, according to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data leaked to Fox News.

"Special interest aliens" are people from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S.

That data, confirmed by multiple CBP sources and reflects apprehensions between ports of entry between October 2021 and October 2023, shows that agents encountered 6,386 nationals from Afghanistan in that period as well as 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria.

Agents also encountered 12,624 from Uzbekistan, 30,830 from Turkey, 1,613 from Pakistan, 164 from Lebanon, 185 from Jordan, 123 from Iraq and 15,594 from Mauritania. The data does not include information on how many of those migrants were removed or who were released into the U.S. with a court date.

Those numbers do not include encounters by CBP’s Office of Field Operations at ports of entry. It also does not include the numbers who have snuck past agents without detection -- sources say there have been over 1.5 million such "gotaways" during the Biden administration.

Meanwhile, fiscal year 2023 broke the record for encounters on the FBI terror watch list with 151 people encountered at the southern border between ports of entry, higher than the previous six years combined.

Border Patrol sources tell Fox they have extreme concerns about the people coming across from special interest countries, given they have little to no way to vet them.

They “encountered them” doesn’t mean they detained or deported them.

And then the Muslim Brotherhood supporter (0bama) instructed the senile President (Biden) to release them into the US so they could prepare their terror cells.

What’s the ratio of caught to one’s not caught? 1 to 5? That means if they caught thousands there’s over 10,000 they didn’t

Western women have stopped having large families because of feminism. So, now, to increase our population we are importing Muslims. Is this nuts or what?

I wonder where they have their military grade machine guns and RPGs stored.

stopped then released into the US - whereabouts unknown!!!

there ought to be a law!!!

Oh! wait a minute - there is law. The existing immigration law which the Border Patrol is flagrantly failing to enforce. The BP is purposely disobeying valid laws.

Some women would like to be married and have children, but most men of the same age would like not to.

I remember when Trump tried to keep those types out of the US, the left screamed like banshees.
I'm not hearing anything now.

The next wave of terrorist attacks in the US will have been aided, enabled and abetted by the criminal Xiden regime.

The ratio of caught vs. got-aways is about 10 to one.
The cartels flood one area of the border tying up our resources, them move high value assets across the border in the unprotected areas.
