New data from the Department of Homeland Security show that during the six months between October 2017 and March 2018, border guards intercepted just six people thought to be foreign terrorists crossing illegally from Mexico to the U.S.
The rate of one per month falls far short of what White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders claimed Sunday, when she said on 'Fox News Sunday' that '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.'
The White House distributed material Friday from a congressional briefing, claiming that '3,775 known or suspected terrorists [were] prevented from traveling or entering the U.S. by DHS' during the government fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2017.
Reporters pounced on that number Monday, demanding to know during a briefing with Vice President Mike Pence and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen whether it was an accurate measure of the level of terrorist incursions from the south.
The numbers 'are classified for a number of reasons,' Nielsen responded, 'including on going investigations.'
Hours later, NBC News reported that during the first half of fiscal 2018, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered just six immigrants on the U.S-Mexico border whose names were on a federal terror watch-list.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders claimed Sunday that nearly 4,000 terror suspects are apprehended coming into the U.S. each year – a number that host Chris Wallace found lacked credibility
CBP had contact with 41 people on the southern border who matched entries in the Terrorist Screening Database. But 35 of them were U.S. citizens or people who were living in the U.S. legally.
The data describe a larger problem on the U.S.-Canada border: In the same period, CBP prevented 41 foreigners from entering the U.S. after their names were found in the database.
The State Department's Bureau Of Counterterrorism And Countering Violent Extremism reported in September 2018 that there was 'no credible evidence indicating that international terrorist groups have established bases in Mexico, worked with Mexican drug cartels, or sent operatives via Mexico into the United States.'
'The U.S. southern border remains vulnerable to potential terrorist transit, although terrorist groups likely seek other means of trying to enter the United States,' the agency's annual country-by-country terrorism report stated.
A briefing the White House offered to members of Congress last week featured the claim that '3,775 known or suspected terrorists [were] prevented from traveling or entering the U.S. by DHS' during the government fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2017
Trump wants giant walls like this segment near Tijuana, Mexico, to be the norm
Trump's own State Department reported in September that there is 'no credible evidence indicating that international terrorist groups have established bases in Mexico, worked with Mexican drug cartels, or sent operatives via Mexico into the United States'
The Trump administration is entering the high-stakes third week of a partial government shutdown caused by a stalemate over funding to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
The White House is attempting to paint a dire picture to sway public opinion: President Trump will address the nation Tuesday night and visit the border on Thursday.
Pence and Nielsen will brief Republican members of Congress on Wednesday.
It's possible Trump will declare a national state of emergency on Tuesday night, asserting his authority to re-allocate budget money Congress has already authorized.
That could allow, for instance, the repurposing of Pentagon funds to pay Army Corps of Engineers contractors to complete the border barrier.
Trump said aboard Air Force One in September that We have two options: We have military, and we have Homeland Security. I’d rather get it through politically -- politically speaking, I’d rather get it through Congress. If we don’t, I’m looking at that option very seriously.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
