DHS explains why the surging number of terrorism suspects at the border is good news

The best border crossing numbers in 5 decades. MAGA!

And the liberals here? Why aren't you happy for America over this single item? Why so much Trump hate 24/7/365?

​

Homeland Security closed out the fiscal year with the best border numbers in five decades, showing major drops in every significant category but one — the number of terrorism suspects detected crossing.​

​

The number increased nearly 30-fold, going from several dozen a month at both northern and southern borders to more than 950 in September alone.​

​

And that’s actually good news, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott told The Washington Times. ​

It’s not that more terrorism suspects are coming, but thanks to the administration’s decision to classify Mexico’s biggest smuggling cartels and several international gangs as terrorist organizations, their people are now being flagged in the Terrorist Screening Data Set, better known as the terrorism watchlist, when they do cross.​

​

“The elevated number of TSDS matches is not a surge in new threats — it’s the result of properly identifying the dangerous actors who were always there and our ability to actually identify who is crossing the border after four years of an invasion,” Mr. Scott said in a statement to The Times.​

​

​

The Biden years saw that number tick up, with a particular rise in illegal immigrant terrorism suspects caught by Border Patrol agents as they tried to sneak across the southern boundary.​

​

Then the new Trump administration began to designate cartels and international migrant-heavy gangs such as MS-13 and the Venezuelan-based Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations, and the numbers skyrocketed.​

​

In May, as the new designations took hold, CBP recorded 416 encounters with terrorism suspects at the northern and southern borders — surpassing in one month the usual year-long figure. By August, the total was 859, and in September, the last month for which data has been released, CBP reported 957 encounters with watchlisted migrants.​

​

A staggering 922 of those were flagged as they crossed through legal ports of entry from Mexico into the U.S. Another 23 were flagged as they went through legal crossings from Canada. The remaining dozen were Border Patrol apprehensions, with 11 of those at the southern boundary.​

Democrats hate this news because they are invested in the intentional collapse of America. If America doesn't collapse, they will be held accountable for their treason.

"Homeland." Must be WW II again.

Well, thanks to Mayorkas and Biden it was war against America by Americans with 10+ million illegals being brought in.

Democrats have been at war against America since 1837 (when Van Buren remade the Democratic Party), including a Civil War, and many other things since then, including the above-mentioned hordes of illegals.

Thread 'Biden’s DHS let migrants on bogus documents claim asylum, audit shows'

Oct 17, 2025

Well, of course they did.

All part of a plan to overload the system and cause serious enforcement problems for any President who wanted to reverse this.

Now they are using their street thugs in an attempt to stop enforcement.

The Department of Homeland Security’s border agency says it has cleaned up a problem from the Biden era that let illegal immigrants enter the U.S. and claim asylum despite using bogus identity documents.

The department’s inspector general flagged the issue in a report last month, saying agents were catching migrants at the border who tried to use...​

I recently heard that illegal border crossings had recently dropped to effectively ZERO. An all time low.

But without reading the DHS, I would guess that catching increasing numbers of terrorists at the border is exactly where we'd want to be finding them! At the border, caught and stopped where they ought to be caught and stopped.
