Trump claims that the U.S. "caught 10 terrorists" at the Southern Border

YES he said it, during the "debate" with Pelosi and Schumer on Tuesday.
Pete can't see me--someone share this with him?

“People are pouring into our country, including terrorists,” Trump said at a photo-op-turned-policy-debate at the White House, with Vice President Mike Pence and Congress’s top two Democrats, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York. “We captured 10 terrorists over the last very short period of time. Terrorists. These are very serious people. … These are people who were looking to do harm. We need the wall.”

There is no public evidence to substantiate President Donald Trump’s claim on Tuesday, in the context of a discussion of security at the southern border, that 10 terrorists have been caught recently trying to enter the United States.

Trump’s comments sparked a small tempest on social media, but a recent State Department report showed no terrorist threat on the Mexico border, and Trump’s own administration effectively acknowledges the president may have mischaracterized the statistic.

Trump Fumbled Claim of Capturing 10 Terrorists

LMAO do you even read your own links, for example the first line, "There is no public evidence to substantiate President Donald Trump’s claim"
 
Impeach. He lied.

There weren't ten. There are at least 15.

Report: Terrorists from Taliban, ISIS sneak in with migrants
There have been at least 15 confirmed cases of terrorists from groups like ISIS and the Taliban trying to enter the nation, and at least 100 total migrants from nations that harbor terrorist groups have crossed the border since 2001, the year of the 9/11 attacks, according to the report from the Center for Immigration Studies.

very deceptive.
 
No worries...once Sparticus is president we won't catch any...just hand them a voter ID and a big ol "Welcome to America....just not my neighborhood, peckerwood!!"

Thank you, protectionist, for the list. Thank goodness they were all caught!

The President said, though, "over the last very short period of time." 17 years isn't really that short a period of time.

But that's Trump all over. Him and his ADD, someone makes a remark and he remembers about 40% of it and then decides to pull it out sometime later when it seems handy. And he NEVER actually gets the whole story straight.
 
The so-called president was very specific.....10 terrorists captured recently. Do you know who they were?
No, nor do I expect to. I have not been privy to WH Intel / Cabinet Briefings.
So we keep arrests secret now? You think this Administration would keep the arrest of terrorists at our southern border a secret? :71:

Looks like he got this one right. Enough of it.

Can you name the 60+ terrorists plots that have been foiled since 9/11/01?

How many of the 97 terrorist plots that have been foiled can you name?

When is the last time you attended a WH Security Briefing?

...thought so.....

:rolleyes:



60 Terrorist Plots Since 9/11: Continued Lessons in Domestic Counterterrorism

Foiled Virginia Attack Brings Total US Terror Plots to 97 Since 9/11
And how many snuck in across the border with Mexico?

I'm wondering how many that didn't catch.
Indications are strong that far greater numbers of migrants with terrorism connections crossed the land border but cannot be publicly reported, because of national security concerns.

And the US isn't the only country grappling with the problem of Middle eastern terrorists. Other countries south of Mexico's border are also. One case in point developed in August 2016, when Panama decided to deport six Pakistani nationals it apprehended moving through its territory.

For Panama to deport any of the roughly 8,000 migrants a year normally allowed to pass through its territory from Colombia northward is highly unusual. The deportations suggest that unusual derogatory information was associated with the six Pakistanis, probably related to terrorism
 
The thing of it is that you would never see it in the MSM if it would tend to praise the work of the Trump administration.
