Trump wouldn't know a fact if it bit him in the rump. He is too busy exaggerating and fabricating things to give credibility to his own biases.

Funny, I don't recall Trump saying that. I don't like exaggerations. Could you provide a link?

CBP stopped only 6 immigrants listed in terrorism database at US-Mexico border in the first half of 2018

U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered only six immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border in the first half of fiscal year 2018 whose names were on a federal government list of known or suspected terrorists, according to CBP data obtained by NBC News.

The low number contradicts statements by Trump administration officials, including White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders who said Friday that CBP stopped nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists from crossing the southern border in fiscal year 2018.
