Trump officials exaggerate terrorist threat on southern border in tense briefing
“Homeland Security officials are now saying that 3,755 known or suspected terrorists were stopped trying to entering the U.S. by land in FY 17.”
Questioning The Claim:
Love to see newspeople ask:
Did sending US troops to Iraq & Afghanistan play any role in keeping bad people from coming here to do bad things?
Have the undeclared wars in Iraq or Afghanistan played any role in keeping thousands of terrorists from showing up at the border?
Newspeople could have started questioning these big claims from DHS almost a year ago.
