Fox’s Chris Wallace challenges Sarah Sanders’ claim about jihadists crossing the Southern border

Jan 7, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

On Fox News Sunday, “Chris Wallace challenged White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on the Trump administration’s claim that terrorists are crossing the southwestern border of the United States. Wallace said, ‘The State Department says, quote, “There were no credible evidence of any terrorist coming across the border from Mexico.”’”

Chris Wallace is wrong.

The Huffington Post, a vociferous opponent of Trump, praised Wallace in its article, “Chris Wallace Shreds Sarah Huckabee Sanders Over Border Terror Claims.” Wrong. Sanders has shredded both Huffington Post and the Wallace’s arguments. Both the evidence and likelihood speak for themselves.

Jihad Watch provided a list to refute the falsehood that there is no credible evidence of jihadists coming across the Southern border. Given the wide-open invitation from Democrats to illegals to stream across the border into the U.S., it should not be difficult to see how and why such an opportunity would be seized by jihadists who virulently hate America and its freedoms, and who are driven to destroy it and conquer it.

  • Texas: Border patrol apprehends four Muslims from Bangladesh illegally crossing into US
  • Three Pakistani Muslims apprehended in U.S. at Arizona border
  • Mexico helping unvetted African migrants to U.S. border, many from Al-Shabaab jihadi hotbed
  • New Mexico: Muslim “refugee” with gas pipeline plans arrested in border county
  • Muslim captured coming over southern U.S. border had ties to Taliban
  • Pakistani Muslim arrested crossing Texas border, lied to FBI
  • Islamic State jihadi reveals plan to bring jihadis to U.S. via Mexico
  • Agents nab Pakistani Muslims with jihad terror connections crossing U.S. border

There are also disturbing parallels in terms of propaganda use and media coverage between the caravans seeking to break through America’s Southern border and the border clashes at Gaza.

“FNC’s Chris Wallace, WH’s Sarah Sanders Battle over Terrorists Crossing Border,” by Pam Key, Breitbart, January 6, 2018:

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Chris Wallace challenged White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on the Trump administration’s claim that terrorists are crossing the southwestern border of the United States.

Wallace said, “The State Department says, quote, ‘There were no credible evidence of any terrorist coming across the border from Mexico.’”

Sanders said, “We know that roughly nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is southern border.”

Wallace shot back, “I know the statistic, I didn’t know if you were going to use it, but I studied up on this. Do you know what those 4,000 people come where they are captured? Airports.”

Sanders said, “Not always—”

Wallace said, “Airports. The state department says there hasn’t been any terrorists found coming across the southern border from Mexico.”

Sanders said, “It’s by air it’s by land it’s by sea, it’s all of the above but one thing that you’re forgetting is at the most vulnerable point of entry that we have into this country is our southern border. You have to protect it, and the more and more that individuals know that…”

Wallace said, “But they’re not coming across the southern border, Sarah, they’re coming, and they’re being stopped at airports.”

Sanders shot back, “They’re coming a number of ways, they’re certainly, I’m not disagreeing with you that they’re coming through airports. I’m saying that they come by air by land and by sea…

    “Operation Mockingbird STILL in Operation and Obama signed a law that makes it 100% legal to spread disinformation to the American people several years ago! The Globalist own it ALL and lie to us constantly to enslave us and establish THEIR Satanic NWO!

    I have personally seen multitudes of migrants with a North African appearance, and a sub-Saharan appearance, as well as with a Bangladeshi/Sri Lankan appearance —all mostly men— lurking around the Chaparral border crossing in Tijuana, and along the expeditious SENTRI line on the way out of the city, on numerous occasions, in fact just about every time I cross. I have walked past them.

    I don’t know how they got there, but they are indeed there.

    So what precludes some, or all of these people for that matter, from being jihadis?

    Nothing. They could all be terrorists, each and every one of them. These mainstream enemedia people don’t know what the hell they’re talking about with regard to the border situation.

    Chris Wallace is a tool of the establishment, and a very dishonest one.

    The jihadis are there. And if they are there, some of them are now here.

        Not usually. But this time he wasn’t good. As a journalist he should of course question and criticize, and the questions need not be easy, but they should not be foolish, which in this case they were.

    Wallace is an arrogant fool and a tool of evil.

    First, he doesn’t have all of the information he thinks he has. It’s impossible to do enough “research” to know of every terrorist out there. They aren’t announcing their names, origins and goals at the border.
    No one comes up to the border from the South, telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They come with the intent to get in…any way they are able.
    They lie.
    For example: the father of the little girl who died claimed that his daughter had plenty of water and food and that she was not ill; but after getting a lawyer, his story changed. He is after money and he brought the child with him…she died of sepsis, which meant she had an injury or wound someplace and was likely ill before ever encountering the Border Patrol.
    If they had been able to keep traveling, he might never have given his real name to anyone in this country.
    And many are coming in without dragging children along. They come in and do not tell the truth to those who may catch them. No terrorist caught entering is going to say, “I’m a terrorist” when caught.

    wallace’s job is to lie to the public.

    What the f****** is wrong with Wallace? Who cares terrorists or children or women good or bad are passing the border “ILLEGALY” . a WALL IS NEEDED TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Shame on all stupid enablers of evil.

    I live close to the AZ/Mexico border. Wallace and the MSM either have no clue or are lying about what goes on down here.

    I live here. I know.

    …………………………

    Is he saying they aren’t Jihaidists because they were caught in these cases before they could kill any of us?

    I MET A BORDER PATROL SUPERVISOR SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHO SAID THAT THE BORDER PATROL ESTIMATED THAT OVER 19,000 ILLEGAL ALIEN ARAB TERRORISTS HAD ALREADY SNUCK INTO THE U.S. 16 YEARS AGO. I IMAGINE BECAUSE THE BORDER PATROL CATCHES ILLEGALS, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT.

      The Stale Department is not called “Foggy Bottom” for Nothing! Creerists in that Department Have a stale approach that does not include reality, or truth. And even the Secretary of State has no power to remove the bad ones. They have a lock on their careers.

    Who at the State Department says there is no evidence of jihadists near the Southern border? Did Chris Wallace consider that question? Where is that claim really coming from? Does Chris Wallace think the State Department representative he’s quoting can be trusted to be accurate? Give me a break.

    REP. BIGGS: It’s Time For The President To Declare A National Emergency On The Border

    Rep. Andy Biggs
    *****************************************
    “The border is wide open, and hundreds of thousands are entering the country illegally. On average we are interdicting more than 10 people every day who are known or suspected terrorists. While not all illegal aliens commit violent crimes against Americans, there are still dangerous gang members and other malevolent intentioned people who are pouring into America.”
