The Biden Admin Released A Known Terrorist Into The United States After Attempting to Illegally Cross Through Our Southern Border

A known terrorist who attempted to enter the United States illegally through our wide open Southern Border was subsequently released into the United States where he was allowed to freely roam for nearly a year because of Joe Biden and Extreme Democrats’ failed, Far Left open border policies.

According to the Daily Caller:

Federal authorities caught a terrorist at the U.S. southern border and released him into the country, where he roamed freely for nearly a year…The unnamed individual, who the memo only identifies as a member of the Somali terror group al-Shabaab, was released shortly after being caught illegally crossing the southern border near San Ysidro, California on March 13, 2023…”

Since Joe Biden took office 361 of these individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended attempting to cross the Southern Border illegally, and in FY23, the Biden Administration released more than 3 million illegal immigrants into our country. 

MAKE NO MISTAKE: House Republicans know that border security is national security. That is why we passed the strongest border security bill in history that Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden have refused to act on. 

JOE BIDEN AND ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS’ BORDER CRISIS BY THE NUMBERS:

  • Since Joe Biden took office:

    • There have been OVER 8.3 million illegal crossings nationwide. 

    • There have been OVER 7 MILLION illegal crossings of our Southern Border.

    • There have been 1.7 million known gotaways who evaded U.S. Border Patrol.  

  • In December, there were 302,034 illegal immigrants encountered at the Southern Border. 

    • This is a 300% increase from December 2020. 

    • December was the 34th straight month, where monthly illegal immigrant encounters have been higher than even the highest month seen under President Trump. 

  • In December, 19 more individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to enter the U.S. illegally between ports of entry. 

    • Under Biden, 361 of these individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the Southern Border.

    • So far in FY24, there have been 50 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist who have been stopped trying to enter the U.S. illegally between ports of entry. 

  • In FY23, 169 people whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the Southern Border, an all-time record. 

    • This total is more than the encounters in all FY17, FY18, FY19, FY20, FY21, and FY22 combined. 

  • Biden’s Far Left, open border policies are to blame for this historic crisis. 

    • During Biden’s first 100 days in office, he took 94 executive actions on immigration, including halting the construction of the border wall. 

    • In August 2022, Biden and his Administration decided to make the border crisis WORSE by formally ending former President Trump’s successful ‘Remain in Mexico’ program.

    • The Biden Administration announced on May 10, 2023, that it would allow for the release of some migrants into the U.S. with no way to track them. 

      • Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has now admitted that 40 percent of catch-and-release migrants have disappeared. 

  • Despite this historic crisis, Joe Biden has only visited the southern border ONCE, and it was widely panned as nothing more than a photo-op.
