Mike Pence Cites False Statistic On Terrorists At The Southwest Border

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President Mike Pence twisted a statistic on Tuesday on terrorists apprehended at the southwest border as the administration drums up fear over migrants headed toward the U.S.

Pence made the remarks at a Washington Post event while defending President Donald Trump’s claim that “Middle Easterners” were part of a caravan of thousands traveling toward the southwest border.

The administration has offered no evidence that this is true. Even if it was, being from the Middle East doesn’t mean someone is a terrorist, or even an illegitimate asylum-seeker.

But the White House isn’t abandoning the bogeyman as it presses for more powers to turn away asylum-seekers it claims are illegitimate, lock up families long term and quickly deport children.
