From NBC News
WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that Customs and Border Protection picked up nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists last year "that came across our southern border."
But in fact, the figure she seems to be citing is based on 2017 data, not 2018, and refers to stops made by Department of Homeland Security across the globe, mainly at airports.
In fiscal 2017, the latest year for which data is available, according to agency data and the White House's own briefing sheet, the Department of Homeland Security prevented nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists from "traveling to or entering the United States."
According to Justice Department public records and two former counterterrorism officials, no immigrant has been arrested at the southwest border on terrorism charges in recent years.
COMMENT:-
Obviously the person who is giving Ms. Sanders her information is lying to her so that she says things that make the US government look stupid. That is akin to treason and all efforts have to be made to determine how Krooked Kook Killary is hacking into the White House computers (at the orders of Barrie HUSSEIN Obamastein, of course) in order to further her vast huge enormous hidden secret covert collusion conspiracy plot to turn America into a Muslim state ruled by thespians and trenchgendered homosexuals.
Well, either that or the MSM is simply lying when it uses US government data in its so-called "fact checks".
Fact Check: Did the U.S. catch 4,000 terrorists at the southern border in 2018?
