According to the article, "the other six were not "non-U.S. persons," according to the data." That doesn't mean they were terrorists at all. It's more likely that none of the six were terrorists.How many did it take to bring down our twin towers?
So, this is what we have:
- The president and his staff first made up/exaggerated "that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stopped nearly 4,000 'known or suspected terrorists' at the U.S.-Mexico border last year." It was a false statement, designed to make people afraid -- a common tactic among authoritarians to bend the masses to their will.
- CBP really encountered 91 people listed in the terrorism database at the northern border in the first half of 2018, including 41 who were not U.S. citizens or residents.
- All of those panned out, except for six.
- Of those six, there is no real proof that they are terrorists.
