This is great! The Department of Homeland Security called out fake news from CNN!
CNN’s Jim Schiutto tweeted out a slam to President Trump on his comment regarding immigration numbers and terrorists caught at our border:
The president has now twice used the threat of terrorism to justify the wall. Facts supplied by DHS don’t back that up. https://t.co/N3XDabBPRO

The DHS replied to the CNN anchor:
We are happy to provide the facts — but you never reached out. In fact, DHS prevented 3,755 known or suspected terrorists from traveling to or entering the U.S. in FY 17. That’s in addition to 17,526 criminals, 1,019 gang members, and 3,028 special interest aliens. #FactsFirst

When President Trump met with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, he spoke about the terrorists coming across our border.
Here’s what President Trump had to say about terrorists: “People are pouring into our country, including terrorists. We caught 10 terrorists over a short period of time.”

The DHS stands behind President Trump and his assertion that we need a wall to help us stop the flow of terrorists in the US.
The truth is we have people from all over the world crossing our border every day. Who knows what they plan on doing once inside our country.
The most important job of a president is to secure the borders. President Trump is taking his job to heart with his effort to stop the constant flow of migrants.
Sovereignty matters!
