If you thought the crisis at the southern border wasn’t serious, this might change your mind: Fox News reports that Border Patrol agents in 2021 apprehended at least 23 people whose names come up on the U.S. terror watchlist.
According to documents obtained by Fox News via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, between Jan. 20 and Dec. 27 of 2021, there were 23 “encounters” at the southern border with people whose named matched on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB).
The TSDB contains information about the identities of people who are “reasonably suspected” of being involved in terror activities across the globe.
Republicans have long been calling for the Biden administration to make public the number of such encounters.
“Reporting indicates that multiple individuals with terrorist ties have been recently apprehended after illegally crossing the border, and that such encounters may be increasing,” wrote Reps. James Comer and John Katko to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas just last month.
“The American people deserve to know whether President Biden’s weak border policies are allowing terrorists to enter our homeland,” they said.
Fox News reported in early April that over 62,000 illegal immigrants evaded Border Patrol agents in March. How many of those are terrorists?

But remember that any terrorist that ends up in a democrat jurisdiction shall immediately be released by the wicked democrat judges.
What a waste of money and manpower, when the biggest terrorist and America hating treasonous DemonRat sits in the White House.
I love the click bait headline. Is there something wrong with the successful capture of 23 of the terrorists on the watchlist? Commendable. But this is a ‘news’ article about Fox news report. Hmmm a news article about an opinion piece. Oh well the gullible as I can see above have swallowed the bait and want more.
23 out of over 100,000 is not a “stream”. People wanting to be workers, entering a country with no unemployment and in need of workers, are streaming in, and a few clever terrorists are dressing up as Hispanic immigrants and trying to sneak in.
How are they getting in???? Trump built the wall and Mexico paid for it
