From the White House policy chief Stephen Miller on TV yesterday, via TPM:

The United States of America has a terrorism problem. We’ve had hundreds cases of foreign national[s] entering our country from other countries and plotting, attempting, or even carrying out terrorist attacks. We’ve spent countless dollars a year, and we have thousands of federal officers and investigators who do nothing but run around the country trying to stop terrorist attacks for no other reason because we make the mistake of letting people in who harbor hatred for this country.

Now they’re just making it up as they go along.
