100 illegal immigrants on terror watch list have been released into U.S

Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, while Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a new House report is revealing.

"Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States," the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, a copy of which was first obtained by Fox News Digital, says.

The staff interim report also found that immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 migrants on the watchlist who entered illegally, and that Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of migrants from countries that could present national security risks – including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals, and 3,104 Uzbek nationals.

Why do we have a Terror Watch List if we release into the country?

 @AmnestyDinosaurForwardfrom Missouri commented…1mo1MO

Biden had a bipartisan bill ready and Trump told the republicans not to sign it until he got back into office so it would look better for him…check your facts

 @EffervescentL3gislatorAmerican Solidarityfrom Missouri commented…1mo1MO

The data comes from the DHS. Do you trust the DHS for data? Oh Hell no! DHS says that they caught 99 but there is no reliable estimate how many of the crafty ones got in unopposed. You can bet that it's greater than 99.

The problem is the ones they didn’t catch. How long before we have an attack here?

Perhaps Republicans shouldn’t have spent the last few years refusing to sit with Dems to overhaul our immigration laws & blocking additional border funding. I’m not even talking about the blocked bipartisan senate bill! By the way,the border has been closed since June 4th BUT…that was due to Biden’s executive order & itsbeing challenged in court. It’s expected to be blocked because GOP Congress refuses to do their jobs w/legislation that will back up such executive orders, or better yet, enact those orders into law. Oh Looky!The bipartisan bill would!

I find this very difficult to understand given that the Border Czar said that terrorists were not crossing over the southern border.

How does the release of individuals on a terror watch list into the US influence your perception of the immigration system?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

Should there be a different process for handling immigrants found on a terror watch list compared to other immigrants?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

Is it fair to judge individuals based on their country of origin when assessing their potential threat to security?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

Do you think the government has a responsibility to prioritize national security over human rights when it comes to immigration?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

How would you feel about your safety if you knew someone on a terror watch list was living in your community?

Kamala Harris says she will not ban fracking

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told CNN on Thursday that she would not ban fracking if elected president.BASH: I want to get some clarity on where you stand on some key policy issues. Energy is a big one. In — when you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. And in 2019 you said, quote, “There is no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania.HARRIS: Sure.BASH: Do you still want to ban fracking?HARRIS: No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking.BASH: In 2019, I believe in a town hall you said — you were asked, “Would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office?” and you said, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking. So yes.” So it changed in — in that campaign?BASH: What made you change that position at the time?HARRIS: Well, let’s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.: In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word.
