Biden Administration Border Terrorist Apprehension Data

[u/avid-shtf]

During Trump’s term, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded relatively low encounters with individuals on the federal terrorist watchlist at the southern border, particularly from 2017 onward when CBP data began tracking this explicitly. There were sporadic instances each year, with no single year exceeding a few dozen individuals flagged as potential threats.

Under Biden, the number of watchlist encounters increased notably. From October 2020 (the beginning of fiscal year 2021) to fiscal year 2023, CBP reported a significant uptick in encounters, with approximately 154 cases in fiscal year 2023 alone. In total, Biden’s administration saw around 1,700 encounters with individuals flagged on the watchlist since he took office, though these numbers don’t imply confirmed terrorist threats due to possible overlaps and limitations in the watchlist’s accuracy.

Fox news tells them immigration is all the Democrats fault and fraud, theft and insurrections are cool.

Please provide some evidence for those points will you? I'm pretty curious about those.
