Donald Trump keeps talking about the threat from the U.S.-Mexico border. But he may be looking in the wrong direction. FBI reports reviewed by The Daily Beast reveal that far more suspected terrorists try to enter the country from the northern border with Canada than from the south.
Seven FBI Terrorist Screening Center monthly domestic encounter reports dating from April 2014 to August 2016 detail the number, type, and location of encounters with known or suspected terrorists across the United States. The encounters are based on information in various watchlist databases. In all seven reports, the numbers of encounters at land border crossings were higher in northern states than southern.
We are looking the wrong direction, said a senior DHS official familiar with the data. Not to say that Mexico isnt a problem, but the real bad guys arent coming from thereat least not yet.
On Monday, press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters he would not disclose evidence behind the presidents claims that jihadis are pouring into the country. Im not going to get into specific information that the president has, he said.
