That’s just the ones who got caught, and that the Biden regime’s corrupt and politicized DHS is willing to acknowledge.
“‘Growing number’ of people on U.S. terrorist watchlist encountered at border, DHS says,” by Michael Wilner, Miami Herald, September 14, 2023:
A growing number of people on the U.S. Terrorist Watchlist were encountered at U.S. borders in 2023, homeland security officials said on Thursday, noting in an annual report that a record number of migrant arrivals had “complicated border and immigration security” this past year.
Approximately 160 non-U.S. citizens on the watchlist attempted to cross into the United States in 2023, “most of whom were encountered attempting to illegally enter between ports of entry,” the Department of Homeland Security said in its annual Homeland Threat Assessment. That is an increase from 2022, when border officials encountered roughly 100 individuals on the watchlist attempting to enter the country.
“We expect continued high numbers of migrant encounters over the next year because traditional drivers of migration to the United States remain unchanged and frustration with waiting for legal migration pathways may grow,” the report reads. “Terrorists and criminal actors may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States.”
A Homeland Security official told reporters on Thursday that every individual encountered at the border faces biometric and biographic screening and vetting. Additionally, the official noted, Customs and Border Protection has expanded information-sharing agreements with international partners “to enhance their ability to prevent, detect, and investigate trafficking and other crimes.”…

Whatever the Biden regime says is almost certainly a pack of lies, because they want to conrol what the media reports to help them win elections and manipulate the population. They are no different from communist regimes that use the same strategies to control their populations. Not much different, they all read Marx and his followers like Piven and Cloward, Saul Alinsky, Gramsci and Marcuse. What do we expect from them? Honesty? Such words have a different meaning for the left. Honesty means saying what they need to get their way. They are word pragmatists. Words mean what they say they do.

The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
Those jihadists of ISIS , al Qaeda and most recently the Taliban are entering in the United States to inflect mas murder on the American people because of President pretender Biden
Biden with his wrecking as in ruining the safety and security of the US citizens by his destroying the US/Mexican secure and safe borders.
Walter Sieruk says
Some horrible information came out about dangerous jihad-minded operatives of the hostile Islamic regime of Iran crossing into America through porous borders is band enough . What more, it had been discovered that Taliban jihadists are now entering America through porous US/Americans borders since that “No secure border policy” of Joe Biden and his leftist’s political comrades are totally disaster for many reasons.
It was also discovered that twenty – three Muslim terrorists just captured crossing the Mexican/US border that really be a wakeup call. Before that, a jihadist who was captured who had originally come from Saudi Arabia, earlier yet; two Iranian jihad operatives had also been captured, and now the Taliban.
Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American military soldiers who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not jihadists as of ISIS and Al Qaeda and gangsters as those of MS-13.
In result of Biden’s porous borders policy will that he will have the blood of many good, decent American citizens across the United States on his wicked vile hands.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is an abomination and an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.
As observed in that specific subject of the US/Mexican borders, the “measure” of Biden is an outright catastrophe.
Walter Sieruk says
That subversive, Un- American impostor “president “ Joe Biden got into the White House Oval Office and ruined everything and likewise wrecked all the good that was accomplished.
Secure strong borders was a great achievement of President Trump. The tragic reality is that dangerous
Furthermore President Trump understands the need for a good strong US/Mexican border control, likewise he cares.
In contrast, feeble-minded Joe Biden doesn’t understand this need. Or Biden does understand and just doesn’t care or he understands and is intentionally attempting to harm America. In any case Biden is dangerous.
For porous borders Mexico has enabled Iranian jihad operatives as well as jihadists of ISIS and al Qaeda and other like-minded Islamic terror entities to infiltrate into the United States. Furthermore, illegal immigration from Mexico is dangerous because of crime by gangs of hooligans who enter the US through pours borders with Mexico. As for example, the gang of thugs called MS-13 who originated in El Salvador the come into America through Mexico. Those gangsters commit crimes as murders, rapes, drug dealing. They are also known, for a price, to smuggle jihadists of Al Qaeda in America.
In addition, to all this, with illegal immigration also comes higher welfare cost and an increased chances of the spread of contagious diseases, such as coronavirus.
Furthermore, with more illegal come more environmental degradation and more urban sprawl. Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American military soldiers who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not gangsters and jihadists.
In conclusion all the above may be summed up by the wisdom found in the words of Ronald Reagan when he as, so well, stated “A nation without borders is not a nation.”

Multiply that number by another large one, and come closer to the Truth about how many mozlum terrorists are now in the country.
Thousands of people all coming at once…who can check them all? Which ones will lie and say they are only coming because they have been persecuted at home?
At large concerts where thousands attend and everyone has to show a ticket, the door is not wide open and hordes can squeeze through ;while the ticket taker only sees a small fraction.
But, that is the way of the border these days. No one can really check for tickets. Too many open places where illegals can just waltz across Texas or AZ or NM.

Hi somehistory,
We’re taking extra precautions now. Border Patrol are releasing them into Nogales and Sierra Vista now so it won’t be long before the migrants are at our doors again. These people are just turned loose not even knowing where they are. My neighbor encountered two at her mailbox wanting to know how to get to Michigan.
It’s strictly the “ Frontera Follies” down here.

Hello, GE.
I know it must be very distressing. People are constantly prowling the neighborhood where I live and the dog is very busy watching, listening, sniffing the air. And that’s just with the ‘normal’ traffic of people who are actually residents.
To have illegals….from who knows where…Senegal has a large number in the world’s repsentation in your neck of the woods now and that nation is nearly 100% mozlum…walking up to your mailbox, or that of your neighbor…I can only imagine the trepidations and downright fear that causes.
Keep praying; keep the Faith; keep trusting our God to make the changes He has promised

I wonder what the budget is for DHS? Cause we sure are not getting our monies worth from them. If they are not going to secure the border or deport illegals why are we paying millions of dollars for a DHS that is doing nothing.
James Lincoln says
OLD GUY,
Great question.
