You won't see this kind of headline in China or Russia:
9 things you should know before Trump starts spewing lies in Tuesday address to the nation
Facts
... he's even got Pence making misleading statements.
"Nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended attempting to come into the United States through various means in the last year," Pence said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
According to a senior administration official familiar with Customs and Border Protection data, just 12 of those were encountered on the southern border between October 2017 and October 2018.
Ok...
1st: To date there have been 0.... ZERO... Islamic extremist terrorists
"encountered" or caught coming across or later learned to have come across the U.S.-Mexico border.
ZERO.
Could they? Yes. Have they? Apparently not. Would a wall have stopped them? No.
2nd: From Pence..."Yeah, but 3,000 special interest individuals, people with suspicious backgrounds that may suggest terrorist connections were apprehended at our southern border"... these were criminals, NOT terrorists.
Is is good for criminals to come across or try to come across the border?
Yes NO.. Were these people "terrorists"? No. Would a border wall have stopped them? No, our border security stopped them
without a border wall.
PS: If Trump was given his $5.6 billion to build a wall... Would the pay for the entire wall? No, at best it would pay for 1/4th of the wall, at best. Would the wall ever get built? No, as soon as a Democrat comes into office the wall will be scrapped. Even if the wall was built, would it stop drugs, illegal immigration or terrorists coming into the USA?
> Drugs... No. The vast majority come smuggled via vehicles and cargo through ports of entry.
> Illegal immigration... No. The majority come legally and then over stay their visas.
> Terrorists...? No. They get legal papers and fly here on air planes.
This entire border wall thing is BS designed to dupe the ignorant and gullible.
