I’d bet they let Iranian scientists in.
you say: “I’d bet they let Iranian scientists in.”

They let Abner Dinnerjab over anytime he likes.
No kidding. Iranian scientists not only enter our country, but they teach and do research in our universities, making them privy to many defense projects.
So now Israel is our enemy?
I wonder how Jewish democrats feel about that—or will they just go on pretending that the Marxist Demrat Party is their friend?
They get in ...and are handed fake degrees from Columbia.

RJC: Report that Obama administration
is denying visas to Israeli scientists
is deeply troubling
Washington, D.C. (April 9, 2010) — The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) expressed serious concern today after a report in one of Israel’s leading newspapers, Maariv, that the Obama administration is denying visas to Israeli nuclear scientists working at the nuclear research center in Dimona.
In the past, scientists and researchers from Dimona have routinely come to the United States to study chemistry, physics, and nuclear engineering at American universities and to attend professional seminars.
According to the report, the Obama administration has stopped issuing visas to Dimona scientists solely because of their affiliation with the Israeli nuclear center.
Reactor employees reportedly have also complained that the Obama administration has stopped selling them reactor components that the U.S. routinely sold to them in the past. Professor Zeev Alfasi, the head of Nuclear Engineering at Ben-Gurion University in the Negev, told Maariv that the U.S. has never sold nuclear material to Israel, but now the Israeli nuclear center must buy other items, such as radiation detectors, from France, because the U.S. is no longer selling anything to Dimona.
RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks said:
We are very seriously concerned by media reports that the Obama administration is denying U.S. visas to Israeli nuclear scientists working at the center in Dimona and refusing to sell equipment to them.
This would seem to be another example of the unprecedented, harsh, and hostile posture the Obama administration has adopted toward Israel. President Obama continues to extend a friendly hand to Mideast dictatorships like Iran and Syria, while slapping our most important strategic ally there - and fellow democracy - in the face.
This is apparently yet another breach in the bipartisan tradition of U.S. support for and friendship with Israel that built the U.S.-Israel alliance over many years. We call on the Obama administration to cancel any policy of discrimination against Israeli nuclear scientists and to restore the traditional friendship and cooperation that have characterized the U.S.-Israel relationship.
