And then there are all those who were not caught.
“81 suspects on terror watchlist found at border under Biden administration, says Texas Governor Abbott,” by Katarina Hall, ADN America, August 31, 2022:
At least 81 individuals on the U.S. terrorist watchlist have been stopped at the border since President Joe Biden took office, said Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
According to the Republican governor said that U.S. Border Patrol data shows that agents have intercepted 66 migrants on the terror watchlist at the U.S. border this year and another 15 since Biden took office, compared to an average of 3 terrorist subjects a year during previous administrations.
The terror watchlist is a federal database of known or suspected terrorists, according to the FBI. The list also includes those individuals who could be a potential threat to the country or those who associate with those who are threats.
“Most people on the terrorism watchlist are not Americans, and they have no known connection to the U.S. For security reasons, the TSC does not confirm anyone’s status on the watchlist,” reads the description of the watchlist on the FBI’s website.
“The sharp rise in apprehensions of the watchlisted individuals coincides with a significant rise in overall border encounters,” the US Border Patrol said.
So far in the fiscal year 2022, Border Patrol agents have encountered an unprecedented number of migrants at the southern border. Since October, more than 1.8 million people have attempted to cross the border, four times more than those who were intercepted at the border in 2020….

Gov. Abbott has begun busing illegals to lori in Chicago. she “welcomes’ everyone, so she should be really happy about the new arrivals.
With the **millions** coming across, the number apprehended has to be a mere fraction of the real numbers who are terroriists….on and not on…the watchlists. No telling how many on lists have illegally entered and gotten someplace to hide and plan, and no telling how many have never been listed, but if all facts were known, they would be listed.
Allowing this to be taking place…actually encouraging it, and bringing them in by the planeloads…is all treasonous. but biden is insistent that any who call it what it is, are trying to “destroy” his democracy. However, he’ll shout us all down and call us names.

Biden is presently destroying America. But the problem is much larger than Biden. The problem is the ENTIRE Democratic Party which has gone full blown Leftist and is embracing every loony idea, from the transgender woke military to a mindless war on fossil fuels to permitting massive illegal immigration (replete with Islamic zealots aplenty) to trying to do its best to give Iran nuclear weapon capacity to demonizing a hundred million Americans or more for the grave crime of being a conservative to weaponizing one federal agency after another, examples being the IRS and FBI, to creating a two-tier justice system, to mindlessly spending more and more phony money, et al.
America is dying. The Democratic Party above all others is responsible for this. And I for one am sick of all the excuses made for remaining a Democrat. There are zero excuses left and I look upon all Democrats as traitors both to the American Republic and to common sense.

Grimly true, Wellington.

They were stopped at the border. Then what? Are they sent back into Mexico, with the ability to try, try, again? Are they being detained, sent to GITMO or back to their country of origin? Do they have rights to any kind of hearing? I would hope Abbott isn’t putting them on buses.

As of today, Arizona has caught enough Fentanyl coming in to the state to kill MORE than every man, woman, and child in the United States.
And these mayors like Lori Lightfoot can pound sand.
When they’ve had Border Patrol chasing illegal immigrants through THEIR backyards,
trafficked in THEIR neighborhoods, and had THEIR homes broken into, then they can be allowed entry to the border conversation.
Seriously planning to relocate. 😡

Abbott: At least 81 people on terror watchlist caught at border during Biden’s handlers’ administration
…………………………..
*81 people*? I had had the idea that only a handful or two had been caught. And this doesn’t include all those who have not been caught, nor of course all those who are potential Jihad terrorists. Yet so many still laugh at the idea that that there are any terrorists among the hordes pouring over the border.
