According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, thirty-eight people identified on the federal terrorism watchlist were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border since October 1, 2022. As illegal immigration continues to explode under President Biden’s open-borders policy, a record number of suspected terrorists totaling 98 have been detained in fiscal year 2022, compared to 15 in fiscal year 2021. These numbers do not count any “gotaways,” which are people seen by the Border Patrol but not caught after crossing the frontier, which is estimated to be approximately 1.2 million.
