Border officials admit that four people arrested at border are on terror watchlist
2021-03-17
[Right Scoop] Border officials have now admitted that four people that have been arrested at the border in the last six months were on the terror watchlist:

AXIOS — The Customs and Border Protection agency confirmed to Congress today that four people arrested at the southern border since Oct. 1 match names on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database, a congressional aide briefed on the correspondence told Axios.

Three of the people arrested were from Yemen and one was from Serbia. The four arrests are more than the number of similar people taken into custody during recent full fiscal years, according to the source. In fiscal 2018, six people from Yemen and Bangladesh were arrested.

The watchlist is long, and includes people who are "known to be or are reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activities," according to the FBI.

Four may not sound like a lot, but just imagine how many unknown terrorists are getting across the border, especially in this catastrophic surge that Biden has brought to the country.

Not everyone that crosses the border turns themselves in for asylum. And you can bet those who that might be considering attacks would stay as far away from law enforcement as possible.

This is just one more way Biden’s disastrous policies will hurt Americans.

#3  As I understand it, a lot of names on th terrorist watch list don't really belong there, and a lot of people stopped with those names are not actally the people on the list.
