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?
@P4ndaEleanorDemocrat8mos8MO
Because this is a complete lie.
@AmnestyDinosaurForward8mos8MO
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
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.
@ThrushAmeliaRepublican8mos8MO
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.
