It’s no secret that the Biden administration’s rhetoric and poor border protection policies has allowed for hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter the United States. Many of their origins and current whereabouts are unknown, leaving the country incredibly vulnerable to an inside attack. As war in the Middle East escalates after Hamas’ vicious terror attacks on Israel, extremism is rising in the U.S. and the Biden administration has warned of lone wolf attacks on the homeland, similar to those atrocities done by Hamas terrorists.
In only the last two weeks, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has apprehended at least four Iranians at the border who are on the watchlist, officially called the Terrorist Screening Data Base, according to The Daily Mail.
The fourth Iranian on the terror watchlist was “caught trying to get into the U.S. through the southern border over the weekend as the war between Israel and Tehran-backed terror group Hamas rages on,” reports The Daily Mail. “The man in his 40s is the fourth Iranian to be apprehended by customs officials since the start of October.”
The Daily Signal reports from Oct. 1, 2022, to Aug. 31, 2023, Customs and Border Protection reported encountering 151 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist between ports of entry on the southern border, plus 76 more at ports of entry.
The number does not include an unknown number of “gotaways” who successfully evaded Border Patrol agents and entered the interior of the U.S.
The terrorist watchlist includes “individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals,” according to CBP.
The Daily Signal reports on the alarming numbers: the number of illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist encountered by the Border Patrol on the southern border has risen sharply in the past four years—from three in fiscal year 2020 to 15 in fiscal 2021 to 98 in fiscal 2022, and now over 150 in fiscal 2023, which ended Sept. 30.
