The U.S. has revoked over 122,000 visas and of those, about 9,500 were revoked due to terrorism concerns. This means that 122,000 visas were issued to people who should not have received them initially, and 9,500 of those people likely got the visas to enter the U.S. and perform terrorist acts against Americans.
The really frightening thing isn't the issuance of the visas, although it shows how stupid our government is, but the fact that the State Department doesn't know where thousands of these possible terrorists are.
"You don't have a clue, do you?" Rep. Jason Chaffetz, (R-Utah) told Michele Thoren Bond, assistant secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs.
Bond's straightforward admission when pressed by Chaffetz was a simple "I don't know," reminiscent of Obama's response when he told the American public that he finds out about things just like we do--in the media.
This line of questioning came at a point in the hearing when administration officials were asked about what safeguards are in place to reduce the risk of would-be Islamic terrorists to be in the country. The big picture is the question of just how closely the government vets the background of people seeking entry into the U.S.A., including reviews of their social media.
Even some Democrats were taken aback at the lack of scrutiny we give to people from terrorist spawning countries, like Syria, for example. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass) said "If half the employees are doing it in the United States of America, if colleges are doing it for students, why wouldn't Homeland Security do it? We don't even look at their public stuff, that's what kills me."
Let's hope that it doesn't kill him or anyone else, but one has to be skeptical about the government protecting us.
Homeland Security Secretary and highly incompetently placed Jeh Johnson said that "There are some legal limits to what we can do."
WTF???? Legal limits?
People coming from other countries have no Constitutional rights like we do. They don't have any right to privacy unless we ask them to undress at the airport to check that strange bulge in their burqa.
Homeland Security and the rest of the government involved with vetting foreigners have the responsibility to use every avenue available to them to ensure that there are no more Tashfeen Maliks and her ilk. Heck, she and her scumcrumpet American husband were communicating even before they were married about waging jihad in the U.S.
If I may use a Trumpian term: Jeh Johnson is a loser and so are the rest of the administration who fail to do their job.
