15% of millions are also still millions (or hundreds of thousands) of people they haven't let go. That's why it's just dumb beyond imagining for an actual terrorist, trying to enter the U.S. to commit some heinous act, to try to do it by showing up at the border with no ID and claiming asylum. As opposed to the way that all the actual international terrorists did, which is to get some falsified travel documents and come in through an airport.

You're thinking like a lawyer. You need to think like a terrorist. Your statements are just flat out wrong here.
If I'm smuggling people in the United States, I'm sending them over the border. I'm blending them in with groups of little kids. I'm thinking up ways to get into the country with the explicit purpose of exploiting this rotten asylum program that we have.

Terrorists are driven and smart. You need to understand that.

and there's no better illustration than 9/10/2001 thinking than this statement.

Why bother?
Because we have an acute security problem on the border, right here, right now.
You tell them, "Before you can enter your asylum claim, you need to take a blood test for TB and <insert some random disease> at the border. Anyone who does not take this test shall be deported immediately".

Then you just...take your sweet time providing the tests.

Guess what that buys you? Leverage on Lopez Obrador. Big time.
