Kamala Harris Once Mocked Trump’s Warning Of Terrorists Crossing Through Border

Border Czar Kamala Harris says that “It’s the height of irresponsibility” to suggest “there are terrorists who are trying to invade the country.”

FACT CHECK: The US Border Patrol reported 172 encounters in 2023 of people whose names appeared on the federal government’s official list of known or suspected terrorists and their associates, which is up from about 100 the previous year, and 16 the year before that all under the Biden-Harris regime.

“It’s the height of irresponsibility,” Harris responded when asked what she would do if Trump were to move forward with plans to use Department of Defense funds to build more border wall. “For the Commander in Chief to suggest that we have to build a wall across our southern border because there are terrorists who are trying to invade the country, it couldn’t be farther from the truth.”

Harris referred to the wall as a “vanity project” for Trump and also asserted that the issue was a “crisis of the president’s own making.”

“We don’t need to build a wall,” she continued. “It is not an emergency.”

The number of terrorists caught attempting to unlawfully cross the border was near zero at the end of Trump’s first term, data from Customs and Border Protection show. However, the percentage of foreign nationals on the terror watch list attempting to illegally enter the U.S. grew over 2,500% under the Biden administration.

The issue of terrorism and an open border was highlighted last month when it was publicly revealed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested eight Tajik nationals who were suspected of having ties to ISIS.
