Fox's Chris Wallace challenges Sarah Sanders on claim terrorists enter at southern border

.......................

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.”

2. It's become my pet peeve: news writers who call that thing 'Sarah Sanders' - or worse: 'Sanders'

It's Huckabee Sanders.

Or, if you prefer, Hickabee Sanders.

I doubt she'd know the difference.

6. Our most porous border?

I would disagree. Our border with Canada is probably more porous than Mexico, but oh, right, those are white people. If it is terrorist they are worried about, what about a wall along the Canadian border too? It's not terrorist they care about, it is about brown people, you lying racist sack of shit!

... in response to our southern wall.

I don't know how they construct a privacy hedge in the middle of Niagara Falls, but they'll think of something. Maybe steel-slatted planter boxes.
