Was Trump right about the border?

By Mike Huckabee

In a related story, Trump's critics and “fact-checkers” liked to call him a lying liar who lies when he claimed that there were terrorists and terrorist sympathizers among the waves of illegal immigrants streaming across our Southern border over the past decade. So journalist and former counterterrorism intelligence official Todd Bensman decided to examine the records and find out if Trump was right. As is often the case, turns out he was right and his critics were wrong. More details here.

In his new book, “America’s Covert Border War: The Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Penetration,” Bensman reports that officials encountered 22,000 “special interest aliens,” the term for terrorist-related immigrants, between 2008 and 2019. A known 104 of them got across the border. That sounds like a small number, but recall that it took only 19 to pull off the 9/11 attacks.

All you suburban Never Trumpers who care so much about security still feeling good about that vote for Joe “Stop the Border Wall/Catch and Release” Biden?

    It is like I woke up in a whole different country. U.S. citizens are less welcome and less cared for than those that enter our country illegally to spew hate while demanding free housing, healthcare, food and money. God help us!

    I truly am recommending that all my friends on the left,right, middle, low, wherever, dividing up the fare amount of future illegals' crossings be shared with the states that have not been able to share these responsibilities California, Arizona, Texas.. Starting with Delaware as our very first state to implement a truly welcoming committee right here in Rehoboth Beach. Plenty of housing available with government involvement. We could come up with a logo, Come ride your bike with who other, than Biden at your side. I have to stop, Getting emotional again.

    We need to rid America of Biden and his handlers with these unforgivable decisions that they have had four years to develop.

    Our America will never be there same.

    Biden is extremely delusional and led by congressional leaders who are suffering from paranoia. The Jan. 6 incident has increased their fear one-hundredfold. Enemies from countries all across the world are plotting to take advantage of our weakness in leadership. God help us!
