Hundreds of people on the FBI’s terrorist watchlist have almost certainly slipped into the United States amid millions of other illegal immigrants during the last three years, according to former federal officials and experts.
“You have to be extremely naïve to not be significantly concerned about this,” said Rodney Scott, former chief of U.S. Border Patrol from 2020 to 2021. “Regardless of what the Biden administration may claim, what it said during the campaign and the executive orders taken in January 2021 have been interpreted around the world as the border is open. You’re insane if you don’t think terrorists will use that to their advantage.”
In the aftermath of Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel on Oct. 7, President Biden, without mentioning the border, told “60 Minutes” that the threat the U.S. could face from terrorists in the country had escalated.
Although the terrorist threat linked to the border crisis is impossible to quantify, some experts find the available numbers alarming. During Biden’s first three years, a record-shattering 6.5 million-plus immigrants have been “encountered” by border authorities. That pace is increasing: The most recent monthly figures, September’s, showed another record number of monthly encounters – 269,735.
At the same time, federal officials have seen an alarming increase in border crossers listed on the U.S. Terror Screening Dataset, the official name for what is commonly called the “terrorist watchlist.”
In fiscal 2023, which ends this month, Border Patrol agents have apprehended 172 such people, all but three of them along the southwest border. When all U.S. places of entry are added – by land, sea and air – another 564 people on the watchlist were caught, bringing the total to 736.
By way of comparison, between fiscal 2017 and 2019, Border Patrol agents apprehended a total of 11 people on the terrorist watchlist. Scott sounded an alarm to Congress in the 2021 period when the total jumped to 16. “When a number doubles it gets your attention, and we’ve moved way beyond that,” he says now.
Yet the “known unknowns,” to use Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s famous phrase, indicate the problem is even worse, according to experts. For one, the “terrorist watchlist” is only as good as the information that has been entered into it.

The number of border jumpers illegally entering the US surged after dimwit Biden and DHS’ Mayorkas:
<><>kiboshed preexisting Trump’s brilliant border security policies,
<><>advanced sweeping parole policies
<><>advanced other policies to release the greatest number of illegal foreign nationals into the country,
<><>encouraged people from all over the world to use a phone app to enter the U.S.,
<><>and facilitated US entry app processes in foreign countries, among others.
And this.......Henchmen for Venezuela’s dictator plus many of the country’s worst criminals have jumped the US border and are now causing chaos in major American cities, including Dallas, Miami and Chicago, multiple sources tell the DailyMail.com.
In Dallas, the Venezuelan neighborhood known as ‘Villa Dallas’ has descended into mayhem. For months, once peaceful apartment complexes have been the scene of illegal street races, beatings, shootings and extortion attempts.
Residents, overwhelmingly migrants who recently made the harrowing trek through several countries to reach America and are seeking asylum, pointed to videos of fights between armed men, broken windows and reckless drivers speeding through parking lots.
At least 334,914 Venezuelan citizens have crossed into the US in fiscal year 2023, according to US Customs and Border Protection statistics.
In the month of September alone, 72,352 Venezuelans were encountered at US international crossings— making citizens from the South American country the largest nationality arrested for illegally entering the US.
For the first time ever, Mexicans citizens were replaced as the top nationality along the border.
The ruling class intentionally kept our border open for the past 50 years...They never had any intention whatsoever of securing our border. The cartels are paying off the corrupt in D.C. while the D.C. globalist attempt to get rid of independent sovereign countries, borders and citizenship. Just like they’ve done right here in the U.S., by making borders/citizenship all but pointless.
DHS admitted hundreds of thousands of ‘inadmissible’ aliens through CBP One app
Mass release into the US who would otherwise have zero claim to be admitted

The Biden Department of Homeland Security has been using a migrant processing app to release hundreds of thousands of otherwise inadmissible foreign nationals into the U.S. interior, according to documents obtained by the House Homeland Security Committee.
CBP One is an app through which would-be entrants to the United States may schedule appointments to appear at U.S. ports of entry. Ostensibly, its users must be in northern Mexico to schedule an appointment, though reporting from the Washington Examiner has suggested that users have turned to virtual private networks (VPN) to evade the geographic requirements. Moreover, the app has come under fire due to its alleged use by cartels in human trafficking operations.
The materials thus far obtained by the committee indicate that DHS admits nearly all of the inadmissible aliens who arrive at points of entry with an appointment made through CBP One. Between Jan. 12, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2023, more than 278,431 appointments were made through the app, with roughly 95.8% of individuals securing parole into the U.S. interior.
Those 266,846 entrants each received a “Notice to Appear” before an immigration court before entering the country. The high rate of parole prompted Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn.; to declare that DHS “Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas has utterly abused the CBP One app in his quest for open borders.”
“These numbers are proof that Mayorkas’ operation is a smokescreen for the mass release of individuals into this country who would otherwise have zero claim to be admitted,” he said. “At a time when global tensions are rising, and our enemies are growing bolder, releasing tens of thousands of these people into our......(Excerpt) Read more at justthenews.com ...
How insane is it that Trump gets impeached for simply making a freakin’ phone call but this guy Biden who not only assists terrorists in entering the country, but also FINANCES them gets not so much as a slap on the wrist, doesn’t even get a fraction of the criticism Trump got?
Are democrats THIS insane?? Are they REALLY going to allow this to continue just to hold power? They are willing to risk massive terror attacks in the USA that could kill them, their family just as much as anyone else?
Yay us!!!
Our ruling class and their collaborators need to be terminally punished when this happens. No equivocation. No mercy.
yes
You betcha!
We were finding middle eastern insignias along the border back during 9/11. We’ve had known sleepers cells since before that and zero has been done to eradicate them.
The Epoch Times did an investigative report, “The Border Deception”.
The biggest trafficker is not the cartels, but the US State Dept, working with the UN.
They are organizing and funding these people, in their home countries and bringing them here.
The number of border jumpers illegally entering the US surged after dimwit Biden and DHS’ Mayorkas.
They must have a huge plan for next year sky turning darker.
Hundreds of people on the FBI’s terrorist watchlist have slipped into the United States. Yes that is true.
Meanwhile the FBI is working like hell to track down anyone who was in the proximity of the capital on January 6.
