The other day in the White House meeting with Pelosi and Schumer on funding for the wall, Trump told both Democrats that “People are pouring into our country, including terrorists. We caught 10 terrorists over a short period of time”.
Here’s a clip of that exchange: http://www.tranganhnam.xyz/2018/12/das-dhs-schreit-bei-cnn-wegen-der.html#video
Because, unlike Obama (yeah I said it!), CNN cares so much about every word that comes out of Trump’s mouth, they decided to fact check his statement about 10 terrorists
Obviously those numbers deal with last year, but point taken. It’s easy to believe Trump’s statement in that context.
What Trump was specifically referring to, I don’t know. Perhaps they can’t be specific about anything recent. But that wasn’t his overall point in the first place, and the numbers DHS provides for FY 2017 do back up his main point that terrorists are trying to get into this country.
