I am not knowledgeable about the "watch list." I always thought there was distinction between that and someone being an actual proven terrorist.

(41,991 posts)He said ten a day. It was utter bs. Apparently there are convicted criminals stopped often, but I see no reference to what the crimes are or any details.
There have been people stopped who are on the watch list but it runs at about a hundred over the last several years.
So he half heard something on Fox and spewed it out.

(7,113 posts)As always at the southern border, there are very small numbers of immigrants from nations other than those south of the border. For example, he met some people from India down there.
That's what those 10 individuals were: non-Hispanic folks from other countries.
But for Trump to then label them as "terrorists," Jacob said, is absolutely ludicrous with no basis in fact.
Apparently, Jacob checked with DHS, and they had no record of terrorists intercepted at the border.
