How many terrorists will cross into the U.S. through Mexico?

Reported The Wall Street Journal just days ago: "Migrants from South America, the Caribbean and as far as Eastern Europe are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally at an unprecedented rate In the past 10 months, nearly two in 10 arrests at the U.S. border were of a migrant from neither Mexico nor the three 'Northern Triangle' countries of Central America - Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador - up from about 9% in the 2019 fiscal year, and from less than 3% in 2014, according to government figures. In July, that number was nearly three in 10." In July, American border agents apprehended more than 200,000 illegal immigrants trying to cross our southern border.

What about the ones we don't succeed in apprehending? In early February, less than two weeks after Biden took over from his predecessor, Border Patrol agents in Yuma, Arizona, apprehended a group of 11 Iranian citizens who illegally crossed the border into the United States.

In March, Axios reported that the Customs and Border Protection agency told members of Congress that since the start of the fiscal year on October 1, 2020, four individuals apprehended at the southern border matched names on the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database.

Liberals, of course, deny that any terrorists are crossing the southern border, despite the evidence to the contrary.

Responded Arizona Democrat Congressman Ruben Gallego to a mid-March statement from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to the effect that Border Patrol agents had just told McCarthy about apprehending suspected terrorists on the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database: "Weird as the Chairman of the subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations and a border state member of Congress haven't heard anything about this. Gonna ask for a briefing. Pretty sure he is either wrong or lying." As the Axios report - issued one day after Mr. Gallego's ill-timed tweet - makes clear, Mr. McCarthy was neither wrong nor lying.

What makes matters worse, of course, is that the crisis on our southern border - and it is a crisis, no matter how loudly Biden Administration spokesmen deny it - had reached crisis proportions long before our failure in Afghanistan.

Our border agents were being overwhelmed months ago before they had to worry about a new influx of potential terrorists from Afghanistan.
