How many are acceptable, Ms. Psaki? Only 19 jihadis murdered nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11. How many jihadis should come over the border before it becomes a matter of concern?
“Psaki: Catching Terrorists Crossing Border ‘Very Uncommon,'” by Eric Mack, Newsmax, April 6, 2021:
After the Customs and Border Patrol revealed Monday that 2 Yemeni men on a terror watchlist were nabbed at the border, the White House noted the catching of terrorists crossing the U.S. border is rare.
“These set of incidents are very uncommon,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at Tuesday daily press briefing, adding “encounters of known and suspect terrorists are very uncommon.”
“They do underscore the importance of the critical work that is done on a daily basis to vet those at the border.”
“While this is rare, it is a reflection of them doing their jobs,” she added of CBP and Department of Homeland Security using watch lists and classified and unclassified databases, along with intelligence and work with allies to track movements of potentially dangerous individuals.
Psaki did acknowledge the pause of border wall construction is under review, but some construction will proceed as required by law.
“It is paused; there has been some limited constructed and allocated for, but it is otherwise paused,” Psaki said, noting the funds diverted from military funding by the Trump administration is among those under the most extensive review.
The men, arrested in January and March near a port of entry in California, were on a U.S. government watchlist for terrorism suspects and a “no-fly” list, CBP said in a press release….
The watchlist is maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Terrorism Screening Center. The list contains “the identities of those who are known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activities,” according to the FBI.

Believe nothing this woman says until independently confirmed. She is a shill for what is shaping up as one of the worst, if not the worst, Presidential Administrations in American history.
Accept nothing that “Circle Back Jen” avers without independent confirmation. She’s also, fittingly, known as “Raggedy Ann.” By whatever name however, she is simply awful, actually almost a parody of herself and which is no mean feat but, far more important, why she should never be trusted on her own merits.
mortimer says
She will have to circle back again when the invaders start blowing us up in a year from now. She knows that it would be a tragedy if a member of her own family were a victim of jihadic TERRORISM, but she pooh-poohs the possibility that non-elite ordinary Americans and police officers will be the first to feel the effect of these invading ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
There is no truth in her. She is seen to be a paid liar and evader for the Diktokrats.
The Nazis made alliances with the Muslims and the ultra-nationalist Germany of WWI also made alliances with the Muslims. Lenin made an alliance with Muslims and then Stalin rounded them up into the Gulag.
The Diktokrats will use the Muslims until they don’t need them, then similarly, they will round up the Muslim leaders and repress Islam. The Diktokrats deep down actually hate Islam as do all godless communists.
somehistory says
If “catching terrorists at the border is ****rare*****”, that only means that the majority of terrorists coming over get in without being caught.
And since they are told “catch and release,” what happens to the others they “catch” but that aren’t only any lists yet? “Released” of course. To slip into someone’s neighborhood and do what they came to do.
But “circle back,” won’t be the least bit sorry. She’s a liar and one of the worst…she smiles and insults while lying, knowing that the reporter who dares ask is aware she’s lying.
mortimer says
She insults our intelligence and chirps while spitting in our faces. No conscience to do such a daily preformance.

very good!!

People like her, and Biden and the rest of their gang, are the types who assume they will never be in the White House when the 4th hijacked jet is headed their way. They can play their appeasement games with the lives of the rest of us peons, since they could not possibly care less what happens to us. Psaki is typical of the type and will eventually be replaced by a clone.
She’s another winner of my drop-her-nekkid-into-the-town-square-just-as-the-mosques-let-out prize but in her case it would work just as well in the middle of a cartel firefight.
mortimer says
Revere’s comments are vicious and hideously repellent. I share my disgust for this naïve woman’s offensive smugness.
Infidel says
I fully endorse and second your comments to offset Mortimer’s ignorant rant

I don’t want to see anyone the victim of Jihad–or of narco-terror–but we will have more of both with these open borders.
Rob Porter says
gravenimage – If the governor of Texas had sufficient gumption, for he sake of its citizens and at Texas’ expense, he’d complete the wall across the State and adopt an attitude of “to hell with what Biden and Washington think’. The passive acceptance destructive Biden policies is pitiful.
gravenimage says
Agree, Rob.

For all the mockery and grief that Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany got from the lamestream media, none of them were anywhere near as vapid as Circle-back Pisssssssssssssssssssssssaki who chuckled when a reporter mentioned the Space Force. She probably thought that they were designed to greet Darth Vader
On this issue, how would she know, since she’s been busy denying that there’s a crisis at all, and nobody from the White House has gone anywhere near the border. Maybe she could have just said to the reporter, “Nice try, but you’re not gonna trick us into implementing Trump’s muslim ban! We’d sooner see every American dead rather than implement such a rayyyyyyyyyyyyysist policy”
sally farmer says
Not a racist policy. Islam is a dangerous death cult, not a race! We need to understand that if we continue to ignore the facts we shall cause serious injury and/or death to many of our citizens via your alliance to Islam. It is not good enough to cite that some of Islam is peaceful in its verses, the vast majority of the teachings are not peaceful as to impact the non Muslim! There is no peace advised towards the non Muslim who are regarded as sex slaves or serfs if not murdered on sight. We cannot continue to allow such a dereliction of duty by appointed elites in our political system. They must be held accountable! for every death they cause by allowing such policy as to liberate Islam in our communities.
Infidel says
Fully agree! I was just describing the talking points of the Left

Psaki: ‘Encounters of known and suspect terrorists’ at the border are ‘very uncommon’
…………..
Apparently not all that uncommon–and we now that many more cross the border than are ever caught.
GreekEmpress says
You are so right, GI. They aren’t uncommon for us who live close to the border. Several middle easterners were caught crossing the border close to my home during the Obama Administration. Not to mention scares with drug runners and other illegal crossers. We had a reprieve during the Trump administration, no helicopters shining lights down on our backyard, agents chasing illegals through our streets, and garbage left below at campgrounds below our house. Now those days are back again with incidents already occurring in neighborhoods close to ours.
And you won’t hear about it on the mainstream media.
gravenimage says
Scary, GreekEmpress.
Andrew Blackadder says
US Troops defend the International Borders of Japan, South Korea, Europe and others, but somehow for Uncle Sam to defend his own International Border is thought of as…. racist…Am I missing something here.
President Trump took Troops out of Syria, Nasty Pelosi suggested that “We are leaving our friends behind”, no word as yet as too who those friends are, but I guess its either the Syrians, the Turks or the Kurds, three peoples that have fought each other longer than the USA has been a country and where most Americans couldnt find them on a World Map…
Old Joe put MORE Troops back into Syria while waiting a whole Month before bombing them…
As Old Joe said… America Is back…. and no doubt Halliburton, Raytheon and Lockheed, are happy about that..

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is clearly unable to comprehend the impact and dimension in terms of causing harm to others that she is clearly enabling with her short sighted backing of Islamic intent. Time for JEN PSAKI to GO.
Infidel says
She’s just a symptom of the real problem, which is both the Biden Administration and the Democrat Congress. Unfortunately, we have to hold our breath until next year, assuming that they don’t manage to codify HR1
truthout says
I agree with you. I thought looking at her, that in another ten years, if she were asked to do the job shes in now, she might back hand em.I am not so sure she really wants this job.It simply looks good on her resume. I agree with the rest of your post 100 percent
ROBERT CARRILLO says
How would she know?..
Her head is buried so far up her Ashtabula every day, while working on her next bad ‘circle back’ performance, that she has no way to see anything at all..
This fool is a complete ‘waste of skin’ as they say..
OLD GUY says
As always these political left hacks can’t see the forest for the trees. She won’t see the terrorist or criminal element coming across our open borders until it has a direct effect on her or her family. When that happens she will blame the Customs and Border Patrol personnel for not sorting them out as the migrants cross the border in the millions. Psaki is the spokes person for the life long change your position and blame it on someone else president Biden.
RichardL says
very uncommon for her to say the truth…
Tom says
More important is the number that get through undetected!

I can only ever muster up one thought whenever I hear this dullard speak…WHAT A FUCKING TOOL!
