"U.S. immigration officials have encountered rising numbers of people on the watchlist. But not everyone on the list is a terrorist, and not everyone encountered is allowed to enter the country. Terrorism and immigration experts say that the threat of attacks in the U.S. and Israel are incomparable. "They both involve borders, but the comparison ends there," David Bier, an immigration expert at the libertarian Cato Institute, previously told us. "People aren’t crossing the border to conduct terrorist attacks or take over parts of the United States. A very small percentage may come to commit ordinary crimes, like selling drugs, but overwhelmingly, they are coming for economic opportunity and freedom." ...

It does not necessarily mean that more terrorists are trying to enter the country."
