| Fox's Chris Wallace challenges Sarah Sanders on claim terrorists enter at southern border |
| 2019-01-07 |
| Time this loathsome jerk retired [The Hill] Fox News host Chris Wallace challenged White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on some of President Trump’s claims about border security. In an interview with Sanders on Sunday, Wallace took on the claim, made by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, that thousands of "special interest aliens" have been stopped at the border. "But special interest aliens are just people who have come from countries that have ever produced a terrorist, they’re not terrorists themselves," Wallace said. He also cited a State Department report saying that there has been no "credible evidence" of terrorists crossing the southern border from Mexico. Sanders stood by the claim, saying that the southern border is the "most vulnerable point of entry." "We know that, roughly, nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is at our southern border," she said, before Wallace cut her off. "Do you know where those 4,000 people come, where they are captured?" Wallace responded. "Airports ... the state department says there hasn’t been any terrorists found coming across the southern border." Sanders then suggested that an "influx" of "terrorists" would flow through the border without increased security, such as Trump’s proposed border wall. |

| #17 Thank you, Woodrow — you are kindness itself. Sarah should have brought that up! Donald Rumsfeld apparently knew of Rantburg, but then he was in the same business at a different level. ;-) Asking Mrs. Saunders to reconcile claims from two departments isn’t really fair — though how the boffins at State could possibly know is beyond me. Their brief is formal entry using visas and embassies, not informal wandering across unmarked swathes of wilderness. |

| #16 TW I remember hearing about the same YEARS ago. From border patrol folks. So good point!@ And Sarah should have brought that up! Chris Wallace is a limo asshat but Sanders should have been more prepared. By the way when is CNN going to hire Wallace, or is he already on their payroll? |

| #15 There were classified reports of al Qaeda- and Hezb'allahaffiated cells coming across the border We had unclassified reports here at Rantburg that discarded Korans and Iranian Revolutionary Guard uniforms were found on the American side of the border, and that Border Patrol agents were picking up startling numbers of Arabic and Farsi speakers pretending to be Mexican. |
