She downplayed the problem and expressed no concern over the intentions bad actors may have by trying to sneak into the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have new reporting that at least 23 people apprehended at the southern border in 2021 are on the terror watchlist. \u00a0Why do you guys think it is that somebody on a terror watchlist would want to get into the United States undetected?&#8221; Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I can&#8217;t make an assessment of that. But what I can tell you is that your data you&#8217;re citing here, it means the Border Patrol was doing their job. They apprehended people at the border,&#8221; Psaki responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the President is not worried about holes in the southern border being exploited by people trying to come in and kill Americans?&#8221; Doocy followed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s grateful to the Border Patrol for doing their job and stopping these people and preventing them from getting into the country,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Suspected terrorists attempting to cross the southern border, they&#8217;re very uncommon. We&#8217;re talking about a few dozen annual encounters at most, at most.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">DOOCY: &#8220;Why do you guys think it is that somebody on a terror watchlist want to get into the United States undetected?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PSAKI: &#8220;I can&#8217;t make an assessment of that&#8230;the border patrol was doing their job.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/31GN2r3Cny\">pic.twitter.com\/31GN2r3Cny<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Townhall.com (@townhallcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/townhallcom\/status\/1516152566211559432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 18, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As noted in the exchange, thousands of individuals cross illegally <em>every day<\/em> and are undetected, making it impossible to know how many suspected terrorists actually came into the country.
