Former President Donald Trump said in a Fox News town hall on Wednesday that more terrorists have come into the US in the last three years .

Julian Zelizer : This seems like an odd claim to make when 19 Arab hijackers, none of whom had crossed the southern border into the U.S. , killed almost 3,000 people in 9/11 .

Zelizer says there have been no reported terrorist attacks in the US during the past three years carried out by jihadist terrorists crossing southern border.

Trump also claimed there were no acts of “radical Islamic terror” while he was president.
