AUSTIN, Texas — In 2018, when President Donald Trump said Islamic terrorist suspects were crossing America’s southern border among Central American caravans — just about everyone with a megaphone called him a fear-mongering, anti-immigrant liar.
But the sound of silence is overwhelming now that Democrats are saying the same thing. President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is just out with two new revelations about the national security border threat posed by jihadist infiltration, putatively fake when Republicans asserted them.
One revelation came by way of a Fox News Freedom of Information Act request to DHS. The agency’s return said that between January 20 and December 27, 2021, Border Patrol encountered 23 border-crossing migrants caught in the brush who matched the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), the terror watch list. Serious, vetted intelligence information is necessary nowadays for anyone to get nominated and approved for the TSDB.
A second piece of information came by separate information request from Texas Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas). DHS reported back that between Inauguration Day and December 31, 2021 federal authorities caught 42 watch-listed immigrants between ports of entry and in the brush between ports of entry. The overlap between the Roy and Fox News information is not clear. It’s also not clear whether the ports of entry referenced here are on the border or might reference interior international airports. But we do know - from what Democrats should regard as an indisputably credible source - that as few as 23 and as many as 42 suspected terrorists were encountered at the American border last year, and not according to Donald Trump.

Three Things to Know
First, know this: any illegally crossing immigrant on the FBI’s terror watch list, for whatever reason they got on it, does not qualify for entry into America under any circumstance and must be deported.
Second, illegal immigration from nations where Islamic terrorist groups operate happens all year every year. This is a steady-state smuggling flow into South America or Central America, where Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection says they enter into the northbound smuggling lanes to the American border, although certainly only a minority will be involved in terrorism.
Third, jihadist entry over the southern border is a fundamentally non-partisan homeland security threat issue that should unify parties in public acknowledgement that we have a problem, Houston.
Even current Biden-appointed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted as much on March 16, 2021 at a U.S. House Homeland Security Committee hearing. (Listen to his comments here, at about the 1:48:00 mark). Here’s what he said when a Republican lawmaker asked if terrorists cross the border:

Biden will be responsible for the deaths of Americans. But he really doesn't care. The “agenda” is more important a few thousand American lives. Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet.
“..Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet....”
True.
It’s also true that you gotta get rid of the RATs IF you don’t want disease and pestilence.
What is great right now is that the RATs feel comfortable enough to complain. Anyone who complains about the Musk acquisition is either a fool or an enemy of Truth.
We shall see what happens to Twitter. Musk may have legal battles to fight as the leftists fight to hide the Truth.
They’ll just use it as an excuse to take away our guns
We are so heavily-infiltrated and compromised by many, many thousands of terrorists — not a mere 42 — who are hiding in “plain sight” in muslim(SPIT!) communities and mosques, forming well-armed terrorist cells and waiting for their “go orders” to attack America’s “soft targets”.
If all the criminal illegal aliens were wearing the same uniform — 50-60 million+ — we’d look like an occupied country.
Don’t worry, Putin fault. If that doesn’t work Trump’s fault.
And guess which cities the terrorists will go after?
Remember 9/11...
New York City is very liberal with plenty of people who probably support the “invasion” at the border. Are they short sighted or extremely partisan to their own end? Probably doesn’t make a difference.
It is hard to have compassion for people who are foolish and despise me for wanting orderly legal entry.
But there is a good chance that we will have another 9/11 and the terrorist will be traced to the wide open borders during the Biden presidency.
“...orderly legal entry...”
I’m of the opinion that we should have a 15-20yr *moratorium* on all immigration, until we get things under control, to our satisfaction.
Good point. And the people who were “orderly” and are waiting in line and paying thousands of $ should get first shot.
Vs the cheaters who cut in line.
“And guess which cities the terrorists will go after?”
I think they’ll be primarily going after “soft targets” — hospitals, nursing homes, all schools, shopping malls, retail centers, corporate offices etc etc etc — anywhere they can find “gun free” zones. The police will be overwhelmed if they all strike, nationwide, at 10am on Thursday, 20??... pick a date and time. It’ll be far worse than 9-11-2001.
Good point — 100% on that.
The world watched as America shut down and locked its citizens in their homes because of a virus we have since learned wasn't as bad as we thought. Certainly, not life or death survival for a country but our reaction proved that we are vulnerable. AND people like the CDC/Fauci like power and are above the rule of law and will use it to control the population.
Agreed.
We mega-over-reacted in both instances and gave our freedom, liberty and power away to the corrupt FedGov, and getting it back will take almost forever, if we can even do it.
Most likely, not.
Once we give something to FedGov, they will *keep it* and the US Constitution becomes more and more just paper, and not a way of life.
Certainly some the hoard of illegals from every place on earth pouring over our southern border carry communicable diseases far more serious than COVID especially TB and potentially Ebola and Marburg Fever. How long before we see outbreaks of these diseases all over the country thanks to Biden’s midnight flights?
We have lost a lot. But the good news is that megalomaniac politicians and political entities have shown themselves. We know who they are and what they are up to.
3 things to know? I have a 4th, avoid large crowds, that’s the prime target for what is obviously a planned attack.
Do you remember the Boston Marathon Bombers — 2 muzzie(SPIT!) punks with pressure cookers — and how the local/state/fed gov’s treated the citizens and locked-down the city, and did door-to-door searches, jailing many people? I’m sure you do. If those freedom-loving people were armed, the murderous scum would have been killed quickly.
“There will be small scale attacks and large scale attacks. “
I forgot large sporting events, as one of the prime “soft targets”.
I’m always CCW-ing here in PA, and carry both a Class III AR-15 and an AR-10 in my Jeep, plus extra loaded mags. I don’t go to large sporting events, anymore, since just before 9-11. Best seat is on the TV, for a number of reasons.
