Ainsley Earhardt Confronts Sarah Sanders Over Border Terrorist Apprehensions: ‘Why the Inflated Figures?’

‘I should have said 4,000 at all points of entry, not just at the southern border’

EXCERPT:

EARHARDT: "Sarah, there was some discrepancies with some numbers. You had said that border officials detained 4,000 suspected terrorists last year, and the Customs and Border Patrol revealed the real numbers, only six people on the security watch list were detained over 6 months. We wanted to ask you about that. Why the inflated figure?”
SANDERS: “I should have said 4,000 at all points of entry, not just at the southern border. But the bottom line is whether it’s one, whether it's four, whether it's fourteen or four thousand, one terrorists coming into our country in illegal fashion to do us harm is one too many, and we have to take every step possible to prevent that from happening, including protecting our most vulnerable points of entry, and we know that to be the southern border.”
