To explain why we should build the wall, Trump keeps saying that over the last year 10 foreign terrorists were caught, and they all were caught at the Southern Border.

“we caught 10 terrorists. These are over the last very short period of time — 10.”

According to a State Department report on terrorism,

“There are no known international terrorist organizations operating in Mexico, no evidence that any terrorist group has targeted U.S. citizens in Mexican territory, and no credible information that any member of a terrorist group has traveled through Mexico to gain access to the United States.”

Why should they since they can choose between the Canadian border, 182 international airports in the United States, and 20 seaports that cater to cruise ships.

Because, as the State Department admits, both Canada and Mexico are cooperating with the U.S. on terrorism, no evidence has emerged that terrorists are pouring in from either country.

That would leave the seaports and the airports as a better way to sneak through, but, judging from Trumps analysis, for some reason terrorists insist on sneaking in from Mexico.

A joint report by Homeland Security and the Justice Department states that of the 2,554 terrorist on the no-fly list, 2,170, were trying to come by air, and 335 by land, and the rest by sea.

So we need to spend billions to deal with 13% of the total attempting to enter while we only routinely deal with the other 87%.

On top of that, as far as those coming by land, according to Homeland Security, the people they encounter at the border have been those denied entry to the U.S. They are not being apprehended en masse, but have simply been subjected to established procedures for those, regardless of the number, who arrive at legal entry points.

Thes are ot terrorists being arrested, but those who are sent back to their country of origin.

In spite of this, Mike Pence has said,

“we actually still apprehend 1,100 individuals a day, who are attempting to enter this country illegally, including seven individuals a day who are either known or suspected terrorists.”

He seems slightly confused about what is going on at the border

Since last summer Pence’s 7 per day jumped to 10 based only on Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen saying,

“On average, my department now blocks 10 known or suspected terrorists a day from traveling to or attempting to enter the United States.”

No verified statistic changed, only the spoken number.

And, the question that needs to be asked is that if it is 10 per day, or 3,650 per year unless they do not try to enter on weekends or holidays, where are they being jailed, or are they simply sent away to try again later?

In the pre-midterm election race-based scare mongering regarding the approaching caravan, Pence changed his number to the bigger scarier number 10.

“In the last fiscal year, we apprehended more than 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists per day at our southern border from countries that are referred to in the lexicon as other than Mexico. That means from the Middle East region.”

Again, that would be 3,650 people from “the Middle East region”.

Where are they?

But, when he was asked if he was sure about the number, Pence had to acknowledge that the number 7, inflated to 10, covered all points of entry, not just the southern border.

But bumbling along in his own world, Trump refused to accept established reality, and clung to his fiction,

“Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency. Must change laws!”

Again the question arises that if “unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in”, how can that be determined since they are unknown?

He even supported this by saying,

“I spoke with Border Patrol this morning. … They say that over the course of the year, over the course of many years, they have intercepted good and bad people, including people from the Middle East.”

And most recently, in his televised meeting with  Nancy Pelosi and  Chuck Schumer, Trump not only held to the 10 watch-list travelers per day encountered by Homeland Security , he added that they were also carriers of diseases and criminals.

He is desperate to have his wall.

Terrorists are considered clever people. They have to plan in secret, get to their target without getting intercepted, execute that plan, and get away unless the plan involves a suicide bomber.

All the options  at their disposal to get into the country, and they only come in at the most watched entry point?
