Peter Doucy is probably correct about those apprehended at the USA southern border as terrorists. Mr. Doucy goes on to criticize the Biden Administration that gives the listener the idea there are terrorists crossing the border all the time and Americans need to live in fear of the border policies of President Biden.
"W"rong.
Encounter data includes U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Title 8 Apprehensions, (click here) Office of Field Operations (OFO) Title 8 Inadmissibles, and Title 42 Expulsions for fiscal years (FY) 2020, 2021, and 2022. Data is available for the Northern Land Border, Southwest Land Border, and Nationwide (i.e., air, land, and sea modes of transportation) encounters...
These were actual contact and not estimations for the record. What the graph shows below are illegal encounters by "type" (click here). There is no specific listing for "terrorist." Why? Because it wouldn't even show up on the graph as a dot, that's why.
According to this data, there were 1,735,686 illegal immigrant encounters in 2021. According to Doucy there were something like 23 on the terrorist watch list. As a percentage of the encounters resulted in terrorist apprehensions there were 0.0013. To be clear that was 0.0013 percent of the population of encounters that were terrorists.
The USA Border Patrol is awesome. They were able to FIND AND APPREHEND 23 terrorists at the USA southern border when the chances of that is sincerely zero.
The word terrorist is explosive and is intended to instill fear. Why did 911 happen? Because no one expected it. The FBI had their eyes on the terrorists of September 11, 2001, but, there was dearly little action taken against them because of the FBI's respect for privacy. As it worked out, the terrorists were actually terrorists and deadly killers. The FBI was so close to controlling the actions of terrorists and possibly apprehending them because the 20th terrorist never made it to the airport and give away the plot. The FBI is that good, but, they need to be better in the permission to apprehend, question and detain. Those recommendations can only apply to our law enforcement agencies and with the organized and statistical data from the Director, currently that would be Director Wray.
The problem here is of course illegal immigration and border crossings (click here). But, there is also another problem and that is instilling fear into the American voter when there is very little to fear in order to drive the vote to extremist agendas.

I am sure if I posted the Brookings Institute their facts would be similar, but, since there is a right wing bias against them why give Americans are reason to think differently. IT IS JUST POLITICS, RIGHT?
The outfit putting together the videos regarding ageism and neglect of the national security of the American people need to be sued for their slanderous editing to achieve hatred of the candidate. They have a symbiotic relationship with Doucy. I am sure he is not compensated, but, he never disavows the conclusions of the videos. Worse than that he NEGLECTS the real truth in his questions intended to victimize American voters to have them feel vulnerable.
I am not placing responsibility of the media to educate the voters and force them into voting a certain way. I criticize any media if I find disagreement with them. But, if newspapers want to understand why their circulations have been hit so hard of the recent decades it is because THE AMERICAN VOTER IS LAZY AND DOESN'T DO THEIR READING TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH.
Nothing like the "Morning Paper" with the first meal of the day and tucked under the arm for break times at work.
Americans have become so intent on political ads to decide their vote, they are in terrible condition to make the best choices. The media needs to do better in presenting the excellence in our country and it's democracy. That does not mean censorship at all. The American people need to gather the truth, especially in reporting, and decide their vote and not SURRENDER THEIR VOTE to the most money spent on political ads.
The video below is illegitimate and is also chronic in it's insistence that the age of President Biden is in question when it comes to making executive decisions. I don't find that an issue, I find the judgement of him abusively harsh. This video is an example of it.
