Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials were stumped when asked by a congressional subcommittee to provide data on high-level threats that have slipped through the U.S. border.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Texas) asked DHS officials whether they had a percentage or exact figures on how many people labeled as potential risks have slipped through visa screenings.
The officials could not supply an accurate number to the subcommittee.
“I’m talking about people that are security risks. Surely you know that number,” Smith said. “I mean, we are talking about the safety of the American people here.”
