After questions on inflation and abortion, Donald Trump and Joe Biden sparred on whether terrorists are coming across the US southern border.

Trump claimed terrorists are coming in from Mexico: “Not just from south America, from the Middle East from all over.”

Biden, who stumbled over his words a few times during the debate, claimed the only terrorist to ever come in over the border was a person from Afghanistan who came in under Trump’s watch and who killed three people.

Trump answered by touting his administration’s assassinations of Islamic State leader al-Baghdadi and Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, and said migrants/terrorists are killing people everywhere.

“We are living in a rat’s nest. they are killing people … in every state in the union,” Trump said.

Biden noted that the actual numbers do not bear that out.
