White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders sat down with Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday to discuss the government shutdown and the status of negotiation talks. During the interview, Wallace blatantly asked Sanders how she knows terrorists are entering the United States through our southern border.
"Let's talk about the wall, because there is no question that there has been a big spike in the number of family units coming across the border. The president talks about terrorists potentially coming across the border and here is Secretary Homeland Security Nielsen. Take a look," Wallace said, going to a clip of Nielsen.
In the clip Nielsen said Customs and Border Protection has stopped around 300 Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) from coming to the United States through the southern border.
"Those are aliens who the intel community has identified as a concern," Nielsen said in the clip.
"But Special Interest Aliens are just people who come from countries that have ever produced a terrorist, not terrorists themselves and the State Department says, in their own words 'no credible evidence of any terrorist coming across the border from Mexico,'" Wallace said in reaction to Nielsen's comments.
“We know that, roughly, nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegallyand we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is at our southern border,” Sanders responded.
"Wait, wait, wait, " Wallace interrupted. "I know this statistic and wasn't sure if you were going to use it but I studied up on this. Do you know where those 4,000 people come, where they're captured? Airports."
"Not always, but certainly a large number," Sanders said.
"Airports. The State Department says there hasn't been any terrorists that they've found coming across the southern border," Wallace interrupted again.
"It's by air. It's by land. It's by sea," Sanders replied. "It's all of the above. But the one thing that you're forgetting is that the most vulnerable point of entry that we have into this country is our southern border and we have to protect it."
"They're not coming across the southern borders, Sarah. They're coming and being stopped at airports," Wallace refuted.
"They're coming in a number of ways. Certainly, I'm not disagreeing with you that they come through their airports," Sanders replied. "I'm saying by air, by land and by sea. And the more and more that our border becomes vulnerable and the less and less we spend time and money protecting it the more of an influx we're going to have, not just of terrorists, but of human traffickers, drug inflow and people wanting to do American citizens harm."
Chris Wallace turns on Sarah Sanders swapping #FictionForFacts
Well described! I didn’t realize “where he was at” till the debates. So disappointing.
“They’re not coming across the southern borders, Sarah...”
So, Wallace, you can honestly say that NO terrorists have come across our southern border...You KNOW this for a fact...You just said “they’re not”....
PROVE YOUR STATEMENT......
Me too.
Thanks!
Also Judicial Watch has been reporting for years that terrorists and suspected terrorists have been crossing the southern border from Mexico.
Only adding to the reasons I don’t watch those dicks any more.
Wallace is a douchebag 1st Class
We see smaller numbers STOPPED at the southern border because the border is porous and NOT secure.
*********************************************
Exactly me neither
His face has a permanente smirk on it which shows how superior he is to everyone else.
He is a classic narcissist.
How does Wallace know that terrorists are not coming across the southern borders? Does Wallace have a clue or interest in evidence that terrorists are entering the USA through our southern borders? Is there not after-the-fact evidence found at their camp sites and tracks?
Is Wallace saying that we do not need a wall because he "knows?"
SARAH SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT in 2024!
She’s tough as nails, eloquent and intelligent.
Not to mention her gender would help some demos vote for her because they believe in voting for gender.
Okay, let’s say I’m a jihadi intent upon sacrificing my life for Allah by dieing killing Americans. Am I more likely to be successful by flying in to JFK and risk being identified before I have a chance to do what I came to do or do I fly to Mexico City and walk across the border, potentially unobserved, to begin my mayhem? And why does Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris, think that he has all of the facts concerning terrorist attempts at crossing our borders?
Chris Wallace is the biggest nit picker I’be ever seen. Even the liberals know there’s terrorists coming through a porous border. It only takes one terrorist, in the right place with one bomb or a few guns to kill a whole lot of people.
And angling for an anchor spot at CNN!
For Chris Wallace to say he’s studied it and that no terrorists have come over the southern border from Mexico is ridiculous.

I guess by “studied it” he means he read a “report” in the Washington Post.
You’re more than likely right on.
He has been worthless since the first day on his job.
That smnarmy little prick

Excellent description. I can’t stand him and always click him off. He is pure unadulterated swill.
You’re missing out on some good people such as Dan Bongino.
A bad tree cannot produce good fruit...
His dad was a self-important, pompous, pinko ass wipe - and likewise, so is Chris.
But why should we be surprised? The entirety of the American press are nothing less than radical leftists and outright communists - just as are their Hollywood brethren. All of them being shameless hypocrites and innocence-murdering reprobates, corrupt to the core.
Shep drools over anything with a penis.
