Anyone seen any news reports on who these terrorists were and when they were caught?
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.

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.
So we keep arrests secret now? You think this Administration would keep the arrest of terrorists at our southern border a secret?No, nor do I expect to. I have not been privy to WH Intel / Cabinet Briefings.The so-called president was very specific.....10 terrorists captured recently. Do you know who they were?
So...no one can substantiate trump's comment from yesterday?
2001 is recent? Ok, if one is a glacier.Fat people can't use google?!Anyone seen any news reports on who these terrorists were and when they were caught?
Just stupid ones I think. bodey has never shown a penchant for critical thinking. Or any sort of thinking for that matter!
Have Terrorists Crossed Our Border?
- From only public realm reporting, 15 suspected terrorists have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, or en route, since 2001.
- The 15 terrorism-associated migrants who traveled to the U.S. southern border likely represent a significant under-count since most information reflecting such border-crossers resides in classified or protected government archives and intelligence databases.
- Affiliations included al-Shabbab, al-Ittihad al-Islamiya, Hezbollah, the Pakistani Taliban, ISIS, Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami Bangladesh, and the Tamil Tigers.
- At least five of the 15 were prosecuted for crimes in North American courts. One is currently under Canadian prosecution for multiple attempted murder counts. Of the four in the United States, one was prosecuted for lying to the FBI about terrorism involvement, one for asylum fraud, one for providing material support to a terrorist organization, and one for illegal entry, false statements, and passport mutilation.
What is that supposed to mean, cannot be publicly reported because of national security concerns. Why would it be a secret? Especially after the Commander in Chief just told us about it.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.Anyone seen any news reports on who these terrorists were and when they were caught?
I'm wondering how many that didn't catch.
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
Many illegal aliens cannot afford the price of an airlines ticket, and don't they need a passport to buy a ticket. illegal aliens can't get passports.Could one of those terrorists instead of facing a wall instead buy a United Airlines ticker?
Should we ask the crown prince of Saudi if a wall could stop his country from sending us terrorists?
How does this address what I said ? ("11 shown in the post. could be 3 others ij the post too. + 100s more that are classified + maybe 1000s more that are unknown (not caught")Nope, none of the others snuck in. They all got caught at the border. And that’s with the current wall we have.
Fool. Try reading the thread before posting. Post # 67 already addressed your 10 recent terrorists.Liar. Trump lied and said there were 10 recently. The list you posted goes back to the early 2000’s but doesn’t list 10 recent captures.
Dumbfuck, I asked how many snuck in and you responded with that list; where most did not sneak in, but were caught.How does this address what I said ? ("11 shown in the post. could be 3 others ij the post too. + 100s more that are classified + maybe 1000s more that are unknown (not caught")Nope, none of the others snuck in.

You don't present a shred of evidence here to validate YOUR claims of what is "bullshit" or "unsubstantiated" As for the administration pointing to public reports, they DON'T HAVE TO point to anything.This traces back to some bullshit unsubstantiated Administration claim
An initial count of suspected terrorists encountered en route and at the U.S. Southwest Border Since 2001
And of course the administration could point to ZERO public reports
Upon what do you base that statement ? I'll answer the question. NOTHING."Trump’s own administration effectively acknowledges the president may have mischaracterized the statistic."
No, Trump is lying - again.
Wild goose chase. The link in post #67 says the claim of 10 terrorists recently caught sneaking across the border is bullshi#.Fool. Try reading the thread before posting. Post # 67 already addressed your 10 recent terrorists.Liar. Trump lied and said there were 10 recently. The list you posted goes back to the early 2000’s but doesn’t list 10 recent captures.
Nope, you’re just sucking trump’s balls again. He said 10 were caught recently. Not one of the terrorists you listed was caught crossing the Mexican border since trump’s been president.Fool. Try reading the thread before posting. Post # 67 already addressed your 10 recent terrorists.Liar. Trump lied and said there were 10 recently. The list you posted goes back to the early 2000’s but doesn’t list 10 recent captures.
Doubledumbfuck. I also responded with Post # 67, which you choose to ignore.Dumbfuck, I asked how many snuck in and you responded with that list; where most did not sneak in, but were caught.
The LV shooter, the synagogue shooter, the Charleston S.C. church shooter, the Aurora Co. movie theater shooter, etc. were born here.Has the OP gone that delusional not recognizing illegal immigration. Of course criminals and terrorists find any way to sneak into the border.
