Another Palestinian on terror watch list found in New Mexico

This is turning into an unpleasant pattern that continues to repeat despite assurances from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that they have the situation under control. Last month, border agents caught three Palestinians whose names appear on the terror watchlist coming over the southern border into California. On Monday, CBP found another one, this time in New Mexico. Omar Shehada turned out to be a doozy. He's from the West Bank and he landed on the watchlist because he had already been convicted of terror attacks involving "explosives and firearms." (Probably against Israel.) And now he has crossed the world and very nearly entered our country undetected. Are we honestly expected to believe that he was the only one?

From the NY Post:

A Palestinian migrant whose name appears on a terror watchlist for allegedly previously using “explosives/firearms” was caught at the southern border Monday, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Border Patrol agents caught Omar Shehada, 35, at the border in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, according to a leaked memo obtained by The Post.

The arrest of Shehada — who hails from the West Bank — comes just weeks after three other suspected Palestinian terrorists were caught at the California border.

Just like the three captured last month, they all have deep ties to terror cells in the West Bank and Gaza. They have established their "careers" attacking civilians and engaging in acts of violence while fighting against "the Little Satan." Are we to believe that they suddenly had a change of heart and moved to the Great Satan so they could settle down, meet a nice girl, and land a job pumping gas at the local truck stop? 

As always, we are faced with the underlying reality of this situation. These are four terrorists we managed to catch. How many slipped through undetected among the gotaways? Even worse, how many never managed to land on the watchlist and were simply paroled into the country by Joe Biden? That's one of the chief frustrations encountered by CBP agents and they were speaking to reporters about it again this week. (They speak on background because the Biden administration forbids them from talking to the press.) 

We are unable to get any background information on these people. It's something of a miracle that we were able to flag these last four. You can't simply send an email to Hamas Headquarters or the Palestinian Authority and expect them to tell you what all of their militants have been up to. We run into the same situation with Venezuela and many other nations that are plagued with terror issues. This leaves us unable to vet them properly even when we do manage to catch them coming over the border.

These Hamas terrorists can keep tabs on the international news just like anyone else. They clearly know that the United States is somewhat divided at the moment and they have supporters out there on college campuses. It probably wouldn't be all that hard for them to find some financial and logistical support for their plans right here among our own people. But just make sure that somebody hands a voter registration form to Omar Shehada. I'm sure he's just the sort of person that the Democrats want showing up at the polls in November.
