FNC’s Chris Wallace, WH’s Sarah Sanders Battle over Terrorists Crossing Border
On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Chris Wallace challenged White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on the Trump administration’s claim that terrorists are crossing the southwestern border of the United States.

Wallace said, “The State Department says, quote, ‘There were no credible evidence of any terrorist coming across the border from Mexico.’”

Sanders said, “We know that roughly nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is southern border.”
Wallace shot back, “I know the statistic, I didn’t know if you were going to use it, but I studied up on this. Do you know what those 4,000 people come where they are captured? Airports.”

Sanders said, “Not always—”

Wallace said, “Airports. The state department says there hasn’t been any terrorists found coming across the southern border from Mexico.”

Fact Check: Did the U.S. catch 4,000 terrorists at the southern border in 2018?
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 counter-terrorism officials, no immigrant has been arrested at the southwest border on terrorism charges in recent years.

Does lying every day to the American public endear herself to Fox viewers? Isn't she supposed to be a 'good Christian woman'?

Agreed the WH has been misleading about that. However I think there is a good argument to be made that we do have a security vulnerability at our southern border and it's good policy to be proactive by fixing it before they decide to come that way rather than be reactive and wait for something bad to happen first.

The difference between the 2 is that there are controls at airports that don't exist at the Southern border.
Therefore we can only estimate if there have been any terrorists entering at the Southern border and how many.
To suggest anyone knows that there haven't been any is preposterous and as far as I have seen no one is making that claim.

 

[Khalix]

I find a few things odd or disingenuous.

We have multiple definitions in use of what terrorism is.

The state department claim is also disingenuous because we don't know everyone who crosses the southern border.

it seems at odds to have the last sentence saying no immigrant has been arrested at the southern border for terrorism.

That is different from saying terrorists cross the border.

No that's not true at all. Customs and Border Patrol have the same tools and technology available to them as airport security has. But to outright lie to the American public not only by Sarah Sanders and Trump but by our own Director of Homeland Security Kristjen Nielson is just not acceptable by any standard of measure.

Sanders is "caught" lying every time she speaks. This is just one of the very, very rare times someone calls it out to her face.

Sarah Sanders Caught Lying To Chris Wallace on Fox

Insofar as from the WH press briefing room and lawn she weekly/daily lies to a room full of reporters and the American people, I'm not sure there's much to say about her lying to Chris Wallace. Is there something about Chris or the Fox studios that militates to move her to suddenly become truthful?

Not really. According to President Donald J Trump 10 terrorists are caught coming across the border daily. Trump has stated that publicly on more than one recent occasion. Then again, Sarah Sanders, said the Trump Administration doesn't know. When asked by Wallace to verify that 4,000 terrorists coming into America in the last year came across the southern border, Sarah admits she cannot. In fact she cannot very even one.

The one way President Donald J Trump and his administration have remained consistent since day one is in the lying about all things related to the southern border. At one time or another they have lied, obfuscated, contradicted themselves - contradicted each other - backstepped, sidetracked, and denied having said everything related to the southern border. We all know that. You know that as well.

The one thing President Donald J Trump has never done concerning his Wall is that Trump nor his administration has ever provided Congress or the People of the United States hard factual evidence.

No one seems to know why Trump's Wall is going to work.

Hell, no one know what specifically it is supposed to accomplish.

No one knows why it is the best option to accomplish the (non-factual) reasons (almost always provided anecdotally) for having Trump's Wall.

How can anyone know that Trump's Wall will successful if they don't know exactly WTF it is going to do? Trump and his Administration don't know.

Who is going to measure the success of Trump's Wall? No one seems to know. Certainly the Trump Administration won't be able to measure the success of Trump's Wall as they can't factually state what it is supposed to do.

We could go on and on with this, but the point is if Trump or his administration including Sarah Sanders have been vague, contradicting and dishonest about every aspect of Trump's Wall since day one, why in the hell, do you trust Trump or Sanders regarding a damn thing they say about Trump's Wall?

You don't have any facts, BG, because the Trump Administration doesn't have any facts and thus has not and will not provide them. And yet some of you cannot understand why the rest of the country doesn't want Trump's Wall.

No no no. Coming or going at an airport you are screened. Not true at a border that's as uncontrolled as ours. The analogy is flawed.

Bingo!

Thanks for posting that. It is most relevant to Trump's feckin Wall. Trump rarely has any knowledge about any topic but will bombast and bully the reality as it exists in his head as if he reads, studies, ponders until he is able to make an informed decision. We know this is SOP for Trump as we often see him suddenly take the exact opposite position with full on bluster while denying he ever held the previous position. Also, we know Trump is childishly impulsive and dangerously uniformed as we have seen time and time again where his actions produce woeful consequences than should have been foreseen.

It's surprising, isn't it, that Cadet Bone Spur doesn't seem to know that "Poor preplanning produces piss poor performance." You'd think that a man with his great love of the military and vast knowledge of history would practice that axiom and demand it of his administration. Guess not. :roll:

Why do the heavy lifting when a lie will help you skate through? Right, President Individual1?

 

[HumblePi]

No no no. Coming or going at an airport you are screened. Not true at a border that's as uncontrolled as ours. The analogy is flawed.

You have been fed misinformation and don't have any idea what the processes at our southern borders are. Have you ever passed through a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at the southern border? I have, many times and I can tell you explicitly that the Border Patrol maintains surveillance, they follow up leads, respond to electronic sensor alarms and aircraft sightings, and they interpret and follow tracks. They maintain traffic checkpoints along highways leading from border areas, conduct city patrol and transportation check, and anti-smuggling investigations.

The Border Patrol uses many different types of equipment and methods in diverse terrain. Electronic sensors are placed at strategic locations along the border to detect people or vehicles entering the country illegally. Video monitors and night vision scopes are also used to detect illegal entries. Agents patrol the border in vehicles, boats, and afoot. In some areas, the Border Patrol even employs horses, all-terrain motorcycles, bicycles, and snowmobiles.

Whether you come by air, land, or sea there will be an officer of Customs and Border Protection, or CBP waiting to process you. The officer will inspect your passport and documents, looking for verification that you've been given permission to be in the U.S., as well as any information that might prohibit you from doing so. If entering on an immigrant visa, you will need to hand over the sealed, unopened envelope containing your visa documents. your name is checked against various computer databases. The officers are also on the lookout for people who might be using a tourist or other nonimmigrant visa to gain entry to the United States for illegal purposes or a permanent stay.

Even if your visa and intentions are valid, if the officer finds a problem or believes you're lying or are a security risk, you can be refused entry at the border, returned to your home country, and prohibited from returning for five years.

Its so scary to think of what might happen if the terrorists get that advanced ladder technology I keep hearing about.

Honestly, I haven't seen or heard Sanders say there have been 4000 terrorists stopped at the Southern border.
If she danced around it or was vague about it but didn't actually say it, then that's how it should be reported.
Anyone making up quotes is not the right approach.

The border patrol thinks it will work because they say it has worked where barriers exists. Why do you think it didn't?

Airport security is obviously much different than 2000 mile border security. Illegal entry by land across the Southern border is easier than by air at airports. Accept it or not, it's clearly the case.

No, they lied about it, shamelessly pushing a false narrative to support their stupid wall. It's really amazing to watch people normalizing lies by the Trump administration. All you're doing is making an 'ends justify the means' argument about the White House in official statements deliberately lying to the American public.

If she's said they made a WAG, and their WAG was some number of 'terrorists' had crossed the southern border, that would be fine, but she used data on terrorists stopped at airports and lied and said they were caught, these known terrorists, on the southern border.

So, yes, if she'd said something entirely different than what she DID say it might not have been a lie. What we do know is what she did say was a lie.

In my subtle way I was asking for a precise quote from ol' Sarah where she said 4000 terrorists were caught trying to sneak in across the Southern border.

 

[bubbabgone]

Of course it's different, I'm not saying it's not. But the fact remains that there has be absolutely ZERO terrorists apprehended at our southern border as Sarah Sanders stated.

From 2015 ...

Authorities also apprehended immigrants who said they were members of terrorist organizations in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
...
The department said it had come into contact in recent years with “special interest aliens,” who come from countries with known ties to terrorists or where terrorist groups thrive. Those arrested include Afghans, Iranians, Iraqis, Syrians, Libyans and Pakistanis. In all, immigrants from 35 countries in Asia and the Middle East have been arrested over the past few years in the Rio Grande Valley.

The department says there is no known intelligence that specifically links undocumented immigrants to terrorism plots, but the authors warn it’s almost certain that foreign terrorist organizations know of the porous border between the U.S. and Mexico.

“It is important to note that an unsecure border is a vulnerability that can be exploited by criminals of all kinds,” Vinger said. “And it would be naive to rule out the possibility that any criminal organizations around the world, including terrorists, would not look for opportunities to take advantage of security gaps along our country’s international border.”

I'm not normalizing anything. I specifically agreed that they were caught being deceptive. If that's not good enough that's your problem.

That does not change that the vulnerability allows for the possibility of terrorists coming here without detection because of it. You are being just as dishonest if you can not admit that.
