During 2021, the Border Patrol reported that it nabbed 23 people whose name appeared on the terror watch list.
As overwhelmed as agents were last year, it is scary to think how many more were among the gotaways.
Terrorist Screening Database
Democrats want everyone to believe that everyone coming over our border is coming here for a better life.
That is simply not true.
Gang members, cartel members, drug dealers, human traffickers, and, yes, terrorists, all try to enter this country illegally for nefarious purposes.
The Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) is comprised of individuals “reasonably expected” to be involved in terrorist activities.
Democrats have been trying to keep these reports hidden for political reason, but a Freedom of Information Act inquiry has given the GOP the information they have been asking about since Biden came into office.
Republicans have been asking for these numbers so there could be a better estimate as to how many of these types of individuals have managed to make it over the border without being caught.
In March, it was estimated that 62,000 crossed the border illegally without being apprehended, roughly 2,000 people every day.
The irony in all of this is that our Department of Defense is making a big deal about exposing extremism in the military, yet it seems of little concern that actual terrorists are making their way across the border and into the country.
When you figure that one out, you let me know.
