In 2023, more than 160 people on the terror watch list have been caught illegally crossing US borders:

Given that there are 600,000 who were observed entering but got away in 2023 alone, and more were likely crossing unobserved, there's very good odds that they are already here.

And yet we still only have the handful of incidents from foreigners, most of which come over legally anyway. Right wingers have been fearmingering about foreigners for decades. Are they just using illegal entry now when they didn't before and waiting a really long time? You do know domestic terrorism is just as common as foreign terrorism in the US, right?

Sure, but how many of them are “I can trace my lineage to the mayflower” domestic terrorists and how many are citizens of immigrant/non-citizen parents?

Mayflower? wtf does that have to do with anything? Ohhhhh! That's code for "but are they white", isn't it?

Pathetic.
