Hamas terror attacks reignite national security concerns at US southern border
FOX News Bill Melugin reports that Border Patrol agents have apprehended a record number of people on the FBI terror watch list in fiscal year 2023.
Thousands of “special interest aliens” from numerous countries, including the Middle East, have been arrested by Border Patrol agents while attempting to cross the U.S. southern border illegally over the last two years, according to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data leaked to Fox News.
“Special interest aliens” are people from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S.
That data, confirmed by multiple CBP sources and reflects apprehensions between ports of entry between October 2021 and October 2023, shows that agents encountered 6,386 nationals from Afghanistan in that period as well as 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria.
Agents also encountered 12,624 from Uzbekistan, 30,830 from Turkey, 1,613 from Pakistan, 164 from Lebanon, 185 from Jordan, 123 from Iraq and 15,594 from Mauritania. The data does not include information on how many of those migrants were removed or who were released into the U.S. with a court date.
Those numbers do not include encounters by CBP’s Office of Field Operations at ports of entry. It also does not include the numbers who have snuck past agents without detection — sources say there have been over 1.5 million such “gotaways” during the Biden administration.
Meanwhile, fiscal year 2023 broke the record for encounters on the FBI terror watch list with 151 people encountered at the southern border between ports of entry, higher than the previous six years combined.
Border Patrol sources tell Fox they have extreme concerns about the people coming across from special interest countries, given they have little to no way to vet them. Unless they have committed a crime in the U.S. or are on a federal watch list, agents have no way of knowing their criminal history because their countries do not share data with the U.S., so there is nothing to match their name against when authorities run their fingerprints.

There is nothing to match the unknown individual because their country does not “share” their data? REJECT THAT PERSON! America does not need “UNKNOWNS” freely roaming America! CLOSE THE BORDER TILL the INVADERS are all “taken care of” by EXPELLING THEM BACK into the country they came through!

All Muslims are terror linked. Terror is a command by Allah.
Playing this kind of defense unwittingly is suicide.
Playing this kind of defense while knowing the real Islam is premeditated mass murder.

Even before this most recent news about “terror-linked migrants” attempting to enter America through her porous Southern border , earlier information ca me 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.

Oh they are all walking right in alright, you can watch it on the videos that realanthonyaguero posts on YouTube and Rumble. The United Nations buses them to Biden and he buses them to your town.
