Even after the terrorist group ISIS claimed it has infiltrated the flood of Syrian and other Middle Eastern refugees with “thousands” of operatives, the Obama Administration has vowed to accept as many as 10,000 migrants in the next year.
Obama and his supporters say the national security risk is overblown. But the inconvenient truth they’re hiding is that America has done a terrible job of screening refugees in the past.
And our refugee program, which is already absorbing as many as 70,000 people a year, has been used over the past several years as a breeding ground for terror.
Here are some of the most famous examples:
- The Boston Marathon Bombers: Dhozokar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tzarnaev. Their family had been in America since 2002. And while Tamerlan Tzarnaev was benefiting from asylum in America, he was secretly visiting Chechnya for his terrorist training.
- Uzbek Islamic State Recruit – Fazliddi Kurbanov came to the United States as a refugee in 2009 and was actually receiving taxpayer-funded public assistance while plotting to kill American “infidels.” He was eventually convicted of providing material support to ISIS and possession of a bomb – our tax dollars at work.
- Somali Islamic State Recruits – More than 30 Somali refugees or their children, taken in by Minnesota, have left to join the Islamic State in Syria and Somali. The state has even had to raise $850,000 in private and public funding to fight the recruiting efforts of terror groups.
- World Trade Center Bombers – Included in those who have betrayed American generosity are some of the original World Trade Center bombers 20 years ago. Under President Bill Clinton’s watch, both Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (the “Blind Sheikh”) and Ramzi Yousef were able to carry out the truck bombing of the WTC in 1993 because they were claiming political asylum in the US.
The list goes on. Considering the poor track record the Justice Department has had at keeping terrorists out of the asylum process, it may be time for America to dial down its efforts until the problem is fixed.
ISIS operatives are claiming more than 4,000 extremists have already been smuggled into Europe and are lying in wait. Even top American intelligence services are loudly warning that ISIS may use the migrant crisis to get a toe-hold in America.
Now some liberals are pushing Obama to expand the number of migrants America will accept from 10,000 to 65,000. It’s a plan that ignores history — and may doom us to repeat it.
Why do we admit 300,000 Muslims into the USA in the last six years when they have proven problematical and have a ridiculously high birthrate ? WHy doesn’t rich SAudi Arabia welcome Muslim immigrant/refugees ? It’s closer to Syria and Iraq then Europe and way closer then the USA !
Because they know they are terrorists PERIOD and have so stated.
I totally agree with you that WHY SOUDI ARABIA don’t take REFUGEES, yes believe me I will sacrifice my pay for refugee is SAUDI ARABIA TAKES these refugees, up TILL NOW NO Muslim countries have come out to accept even one refugee, you know WHY, 1) because they are prejudice against their own ARABS TRIBES (although they are prejudice against other ethnics) 2) US should take not 300,000 but 500,000 REFUGEES now not all refugees are MUSLIMS, 50 percent are CHRISTIANS and if MUSLIMS come to US then what is wrong, they are going to increase the Muslims and good one, 3) whether they are problematic people or not, I don’t know, because hatered against MUSLIMS in US was created by GEORGE BUSH who even created FEARS IN US CITIZENS that all Muslims are AL-QAIDA (whether he knew or not the meaning of AL-QAIDA)
I say it’s a double threat. It’s possible that some of the refugees may be “Terrorists in Hiding” so background checks must be instituted, but there is another threat not being mentioned. Nothing is being said about Health Screenings for the refugees. Given the area of the world these people are coming from and the living conditions in a ongoing “Civil War”, how could we know if they are carrying any diseases or pests? Before allowing them into our homeland, “Background Checks” and, “Health Screenings” are necessary!
These are not refugees. WWII we saw what real refugees look and act like. These come well dressed, with money and cellphones. Easy for many to be ISSI agents! Stop them here and anywhere else so I approve of Hungary blocking them. We do not need more muslims anywhere because they will not meld, want our welfare (and they have so stated), and will follow the Qu’Ran to kill us, the infidels! We need them like a hole in the head.
Hey everybody cheer up!! Saudi Arabia has accepted 4 (four) Syrians as refugees.
Has anyone considered doing a cost/benefit analysis of the value of bringing these people in?
(Oh, wait! That would require the 0bama to have at least a “smidgen” of American patriotism. Never mind.)
This is all just part of the agenda 21/ new world order evil….WAKE UP & LOOK OUT………….
I agree there would a security risk in bringing REFUGEES, but, there is no other alternatives, because perhaps, US did not know that by creating fighters to oust ASSAD will bounce on them and all these REFUGEES have no DREAMS nor any feelings as HUMANS, just think and put yourself in to their situation, THEREFORE whether RISK or NO RISK in SUCURITY, UNITED STATES have to accommodate these REFUGEES in numbers of 500,000 or let US sends its ARMY to ISIS OCCUPIED LAND and destroy ISIS the HIGHEST RISK in the HISTORY, hope people understood now what is RISK, is a REFUGEE RISK or a ISIS terrorist RISK
