Since April 2022, when U.S. Customs and Border Protection began publishing monthly number of border crossers who were on the FBI’s terrorism watch list, it has become impossible to ignore the record-breaking numbers of suspected terrorist crossings.
- Border Patrol apprehended a whopping 98 watch-listed terrorists at the southern border, six times the record 15 caught there in 2021
- Five times the number it took to carry out the 9/11 attacks that took America to war in overseas theaters for 20 years
The apprehension of even one such person is bad news, even though some might consider it a relief that all 98 of these watch-listed suspected terrorists wound up in government custody.
- According to former acting ICE Commissioner Mark Morgan, in fiscal years 2021 and 2022, an estimated one million illegal border crossers made their way into the American interior undetected-known in official Border Patrol nomenclature as "got-aways."
The 114 apprehensions of terror suspects during Biden's first two years as a red-flag national security threat that warrants more than a news blackout.
- They stand as a powerful argument that Democrats and Republicans must join hands after the midterms to reconstruct border defenses before one of the got-aways forces the issue.
