A Border Threat So Taboo That Few Dare Speak Of It

In the final days of his presidency and his last visit to the U.S. southern border, Donald Trump stood next to his contentious wall in Alamo, Texas on January 12, 2021 and uttered a striking claim that went entirely unreported by any traditional news media outlet.

“We have terrorists from the Middle East coming through our country through the southern border. That was before what you see right here [gesturing toward the border wall],” the president said. “Because it was easier to come into our country through the southern border than it was through airports or any other means. These are people from some very seriously dangerous places in the Middle East. And the numbers are far greater than anybody would understand, really far greater.”

Trump’s tortured credibility after four years notwithstanding, the silence about this national security claim long predates his presidency. Somewhere along the way after 9/11, the idea that Islamic extremist migrants might steal over the porous southern land border was lost among the nation’s hyper-partisan debate over all things immigration. Now, this notion of border infiltration notion is immediately toe-tagged as fraudulent, xenophobic, and discreditably Trumpian, rendering it a taboo subject unworthy of serious contemplation.
