No one knows how many got through without getting caught, but we’re likely to find out eventually. Meanwhile, what happened to these fifty? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Biden regime were releasing them into this country.
“50 on terror watchlist caught amid Biden border invasion,” by Sara Higdon, Post Millennial, January 27, 2024:
On Friday, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) revealed its agents encountered 50 people who appeared on the terror watchlist attempting to cross the border into the US illegally so far in fiscal year 2024.
According to its website, CBP encountered 49 personnel with records in the Terrorist Screening Dataset coming across the southern border and one attempting to cross the northern.
This follows a record number of 172 members of the terrorist watch list being apprehended trying to cross the border illegally in 2023, almost doubling the 98 in 2022. Before then apprehensions of those on the terror watchlist were in the single digits for data going back to 2017.
CBP had over 634,066 total encounters with illegal immigrants trying to cross into the US during the first quarter, which is more than the total number for 2020.
Earlier this month, an illegal immigrant threatened a citizen journalist who was reporting at the border. He told the videographer, “Soon, you’re gonna know who I am” after being asked where he was from.
“If you are smart enough you will know who I am. But you really aren’t smart enough to know who I am. But soon you’re gonna know who I am. Very soon,” the man said….

I wrote that ~12 years ago but it’s just as applicable now as it was then. Unfortunately, most of the hot-links are now dead but you’ll get the idea.

While 50 is indeed a bad number, that is the total so far for “fiscal year 2024”, which began on October 1, 2023, not January 1, 2024. So this total is over. 4 month period, not one month. Of course, this records only those apprehended, not unknowns or gotaways. As to this numbers, who knows?

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.”
Therefore, “the measure” of Joe Biden is outright terrible, as observed by his awful “no secure. US/ Mexican porous border policy” which results in dangerous and deadly Hamas Hezbollah, ISIS and al Qaeda jihadists entering into America as well as highly dangerous criminal gangs , as for example, MS-13.
When people of the United States murdered by those jihadists in an Islamic terrorists attack creepy old, Joe will have their blood on his vile and wicked hands.
Walter Sieruk says
That villainous President pretender ,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.”

The 50 will very likely turn out to be the tip of the iceberg in the long run. There will be enormous outrage if any of these invaders do get to carry out terrorist acts in the USA. It is a terrible situation seeing these vast numbers of people pouring across the borders in this uncontrolled way. Certainly seems like a way to endanger and even destroy a country very quickly It seems very similar to what is happening to western European countries.

The terrorist who said “soon” we will know who he is…probably already known by biden and crew .
How many of these were being investigated by Mr. Haney before he was told to delete everything? How many have already done some evil deeds in their home countries or where they landed first on their way here?
How many formerly on watch lists, taken off after being followed/tracked for some time, have slipped in uncounted, and are here to do harm?
The word is out. biden will warn terrorists that other terrorists are going to strike some terror, but he has the welcome mat out for those who want to strike some terror in the hearts of innocent Americans.
And his excuse: Republicans won’t give him the money to stop the flow.
that says: biden can be bribed….if the amount is high enough. Is china, iran, etc. bribing him to let these criminals in?
All of the people crossing into the country without proper papers and without being invited …visas, etc….are criminal trespassers. Not an innocent among them.
The little kids being dragged along, have no choice and no responsibility for the actions, but they are still trespassers.
And it’s getting really tiresome to see these criminals putting their little kids at risk of drowning; murder, sickness, rape, injury, etc., so they can get in and mooch.
It’s also tiresome to think about all of the criminals here to “strike terror” and who are being welcomed by biden, mayorkis and others.

I would be very pleasantly surprised if there is no jihad attack in the United States in 2024.
David M says
Apparently jihadis on terror lists are the ONLY ones they are stopping, everyone else gets a free pass. Rapists, murderers, child molestors, thieves…….. they just let in.
