Congrats to the Biden Regime for inviting more terrorists to jump the border than ever. Fiscal 2023 data from U.S Customs and Border Protection show that border agents have collared 127 illegals on the terror watch list who tried to enter the country between ports of entry; 125 tried to cross the southwest border [CBP Enforcement Statistics Fiscal Year 2023, CBP.gov]. That total exceeds all of last year’s.
As for those who showed up at ports of entry, numbers there have also increased. Thus far this fiscal year, agents have stopped 53 on the southern border and 284 at the northern border. That three-quarter figure, 337, nears last year’s total.
Nationwide for both categories: 464. Last year’s: 478
Forget the obvious observation that a few on the list slipped past border agents. Concentrate on this one: When one of them destroys a power plant or stages some other awful attack — say, poisoning a city water supply — nothing about our immigration policy will change.
Just as nothing changed after 9/11.
