If News Stories Can't Find Them as Terrorists, Why Insist They Are?

   As a reader, I wonder, why do not the news stories of the migrants pouring across our borders tell of the drugs that are found on them? 
   There are a lot of reasons that people oppose allowing the migrants into the United States: They are drug traffickers, they are terrorists, they are rapists, etc. Let's stop and think: Most of them cross into America with the border guards watching, allowing the guards to take them in so they can apply for asylum. I just wonder why story-after-story-after doesn't say: Of the migrants who arrived today, this much fentanyl and this much methamphetamine, and this much cocaine was found on them.
   Why? 
   You know that if the drugs are found on them, the border agents will not go without reporting it. It isn't going to happen. So why don't we hear of these reports? Why? Could it be because the drugs coming into the United States are finding entrance in other ways and not on the backs of the asylum seekers?
   Terrorists and rapists? Yes, the good number of the immigrants are allowed to continue into America to await full trial. Yes, but before they are, they are checked in by the border agents. There is a process. Do they simply take names and that's it -- they are allowed in with no more checking than that? I am a news reader. The stories are not so clear. But I do wonder why, if more checking is not done at that point, why it isn't. Why can't you vet them right at that point, screening out the terrorists and rapists right at the border? It doesn't make sense to me to just let them pass and say, We'll do that later.
    And once they get to those immigrant courts in Chicago, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and so many other cities -- if there are the places they are vetted -- why don't we read stories of how many were revealed to be possible terrorists? Why don't we read about how many of them had criminal records in the countries they were coming from?
   Well, why?
   You don't like these people flowing freely into America. You've made that very clear. You suggest they are drug traffickers, terrorists and rapists. I'm not so sure they are. To me it seems a ruse, an excuse for not letting them in. If these are just people coming to work, coming to join family, and coming to be part of the American dream, why refuse them?
   Read the news stories. If the news stories are unable to report they are drug traffickers, terrorists and rapists, shouldn't you be a little wary of whether those accusations are true?
