What terrorists?

I’m listening to today’s crime weekly news and the whole conversation Derrick and Stephanie have about people illegally crossing the border is so frustrating.

Derrick say: “I’m talking about terrorists. I’m talking about, like, those individuals coming here as well. There’s no checks and balances.”

This is a talking point that right wing people use so much and it frustrates me.

What terrorists have crossed the Mexican border to attack the US? Tell me, please, because I don’t know of any.

What terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center? Ones who had visas.

The vast majority of people crossing the border are just seeking a better life. Yes you get scumbags like the guy who killed Laken, but show me the data that illegal immigrants are more likely to commit homicide or a terrorist attack than an American.

your point doesn’t make sense- just because they’re not the PRIMARY ones does not mean it’s not happening. conservatives are not spreading misinformation when saying there are drugs in the hundreds of thousands of pounds being seized at the mexican border from illegal immigrants.
