…In other words, it is true that a terrorist could come across the border into the United States. Claims that terrorists have done so, though, depend on those watch-list numbers which, like the amount of fentanyl seized, are a measure of people stopped at the border, not ones allowed into the United States. And if someone planning to attack the United States crosses into the country legally with a visa (as has happened), that has nothing to do with the border's porousness.
On Wednesday night, though, none of that context was presented to those watching the debates. They just heard "terrorists are coming over the border."
They heard a lot of other stuff, too. Ramaswamy, in particular, was a conduit of unchecked nonsense…
