    Illegal migrant from Lebanon admitted terror ties (nypost.com)

    Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody he asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied: “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.

    But Ebbadi later claimed in an interview that he had been trying to flee Lebanon and Hamas because he “didn’t want to kill people” and said “once you’re in in, you can never get out,” according to internal ICE documents.

    Ebbadi said in a sworn interview after his arrest that he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years, the documents show

    Thanks to our border patrol, or this could have been a blood bath for NYC. I hope America is paying attention to Biden and the wacko lefts open border policies

    Nearly 4 years of Biden and zero southern border crossing terrorists activities. My guess is the right wing will fake one just before the election and flgator will be the first to spread it. You heard it here first.

    So the Biden border policy helped capture a potential terrorist. Thanks for the update @flgator2

    I really don't understand how you can post a story about someone being stopped and arrested attempting to cross the border and then complain that we're not stopping anyone from crossing the border.

    Never heard about terrorists being stopped at the border under Trump. Obviously they all got in. What a LOSER!

    Be careful everyone - there are lots of Trumpy terrorists running around the country.

    It's amazing how good you're at pretending not to understand. If that jackass in charge would have never stopped most Of President Trump's border policies we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
    Is this simple enough for you to comprehend?

    Trump and maga killed the border bill.

    WSJ:
    By any honest reckoning, this is the most restrictive migrant legislation in decades. Previous immigration talks have involved trading security measures for legalizing more immigration. There is little of the latter in this bill—nothing for nearly all of the Dreamers who were brought here illegally as children, no general pathway to citizenship or green cards for most illegal immigrants already in the U.S. “

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate...6egk1g34p19nlux&reflink=article_copyURL_share

    Murphy says GOP voted against border bill to keep border ‘chaotic,’ help Trump campaign

    "A “border deal that actually reduced the flow of illegal immigration, that would be good for [President Biden] politically.That is Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), giving away the GOP’s cynical game on fixing the border. Cramer said this without a hint of shame in explaining his opposition to immigration reform."

    Here is my question. Why in the HELL would he admit that he wants to make a bomb? Terrorists must be really stupid.

    So you’re super confident that other terrorists aren’t sneaking through?
    GTFO
    Your posts are all too often disingenuous. I’m still surprised they allow you to “moderate”.

    Lone wolf terrorists? Possibly coming through. Organized terrorists? Not a chance. Too risky for them. We capture at minimum, 1 in every 3 that try to cross. So, for example, had the 22 9/11 terrorists attempted to cross the S border, statistically, 7 would've been caught attempting.

    Do you really think a terror cell would plan something like 9/11 for months and have, as part of their plan, 1/3 getting caught by Border Patrol?

    To date, the conviction of terror charges of people who came in illegally through the S border stands and 2 persons. And they entered as children under 5 and were radicalized later in life.

    Wow, you say such mean words. But you really think the con man you love (even though he did absolutely NOTHING to fix border security) would have stopped a very small number of motivated terrorists from getting in?

    ("Oh no, there's a wall - absolutely no way I can enter that country now - it's a fortress!!")


    One day you'll figure out that illegal immigration is a demand based problem, and can best be fixed approaching that side first. Then, with far fewer people needing to enter illegally, the ones who do can be better apprehended.

    But Trumppublicans actually don't really care about fixing the problem. If it were fixed, how could you complain about it? ;)

    No, it's this simple: If we had open borders, we wouldn't be stopping and arresting people. They simply cross at will.

    Most of the "terrorists" the government catches are people with serious issues that they entrap in hackneyed plots

    No the left will cause one and blame it on Trump supporters.

    To be fair though, the right has more history of conducting terrorist activities than the left does of causing one and blaming others for it.

    Just look at January 6th alone. Remember when thousands of Trump supporters ransacked government property and assaulted hundreds of police? And Trump just sat there and watched on TV for over THREE HOURS (!!) even though his staff and family asked him to help stop it all.

    Who could ever vote for someone who instigated and tolerated something like THAT ?! Those people are just domestic terrorists!

    That’s hilarious given that the term was coined by your MAGA goddess Kellyanne Conway.
