'Potential Terrorist' From Saudi Arabia Caught After Crossing Biden's Open Border

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has announced that his state will be building the border wall that Biden's handlers won't build, and on Monday we saw yet again why this wall will come not a moment too soon: U.S. Border Patrol officials announced that a "Potential terrorist" linked to "Yemeni subjects of interest" was caught in Arizona after crossing into the country from Mexico.

Biden's handlers resolutely ignore the evidence that their open border mess is a national security issue, yet that evidence just keeps on piling up.

Rep. John Katko, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, distributed a fact sheet in October warning that "Known or suspected terrorists are crossing the border 'at a level we have never seen before.'".

John Cohen, the Department of Homeland Security's counterterrorism coordinator, denied this, claiming, "That just simply is not the case. It is just factually inaccurate to frame the southern border as a place where we are seeing a significant number of al-Qaida or ISIS-related terrorists or foreign terrorists." He said that the rate of jihad terrorists crossing the border was "Very low," and "Low in comparison to people who are seeking to travel to the United States through the aviation infrastructure, through the northern border."

When Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott retired last August, he released a video message in which he said: "Over and over again, I see other people talk about our mission, your mission, and the context of it being immigration or the current crisis today being an immigration crisis. I firmly believe that it is a national security crisis. Immigration is just a subcomponent of it, and right now it's just a cover for massive amounts of smuggling going across the southwest border - to include TSDBs at a level we have never seen before. That's a real threat." The TSDB is the Terrorist Screening Database.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced last April that "U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Sector arrested two Yemeni men within the last two months that were identified on a terrorism watch list." However, the day after the CBP released that press release, it replaced it with an "Access Denied" notice, and it never returned.

There could be many others, but if there were, would Biden-era officials even bother to tell us? Would the sycophantic establishment media bother to investigate a story that might make a Democrat president, or even a Democrat pretend-president, look bad? Will sanity return to the border before the consequences of Biden's open border become positively explosive?
