"Special interest aliens" are people from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that either promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the country.

According to internal data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) retrieved by Fox News, at least 72,823 special interest aliens showed up at America's borders between October 2021 and October 2023.
Of these, 6,386 are nationals from Afghanistan, 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria. Border agents also encountered 13,624 special interest aliens from Uzbekistan, 30,830 from Turkey, 1,613 from Pakistan, 185 from Jordan, 164 from Lebanon, 139 from Yemen, 123 from Iraq and a whopping 15,594 from the Northwest African nation of Mauritania.
"Border Patrol sources tell me they have extreme concerns about who is coming into the country because they have no way of vetting people from these special interest countries," warned Bill Melugin of Fox News. "I'm told unless [illegal aliens] have committed a crime previously in the U.S., or they are on some sort of federal watch list, there's no way to know who they are because most of their home countries don't share data or records with the U.S., so there is nothing to match a name to when Border Patrol runs fingerprints."

The CBP does not have any data regarding how many of the special interest aliens were turned away at the border, deported or were released into the U.S. and told to appear at court for an immigration hearing at a later date.
The nearly 73,000 special interest aliens also do not include the millions of illegal immigrants and so-called asylum seekers the CBP's Office of Field Operations have encountered at ports of entry to the United States. This also does not include the "gotaways" – people who have snuck past Border Patrol agents without detection – that have slipped into the country. There are an estimated 1.5 to 1.7 million gotaways that have entered the country since 2021.
The Department of Homeland Security has similarly noted in its latest threat assessment published in September that border agents have encountered a growing number of illegals on federal watch lists and warned that "terrorists and criminal actors may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States."
"Individuals with terrorism connections are interested in using established travel routes and permissive environments to facilitate access to the United States," continued Homeland Security's threat assessment.
The information from these multiple federal government agencies comes as the U.S. continues to struggle with the most recent wave of illegal immigrants attempting to enter the country from the southern border. Sources have reported to Fox News that there were more than 260,000 encounters at the southern border in September alone, marking a new monthly record.
Watch this episode of "New American Daily" on The New American as host Paul Dragu warns about the over 70,000 "special interest aliens" that have been spotted attempting to cross the border.
