The US embassy in Riyadh revealed that 110,000 Saudi nationals applied for a visa to visit the US in 2011, an increase of 25,000 from the previous year. The embassy also revealed that 93 percent of these visa applications were approved, and 75 percent of visa application approvals were issued within one week.
He also revealed that the US embassy is required to check all the required documentation, as well as interview the visa applicant, revealing that some visas are rejected due to the applicant’s failure to provide accurate answers at this stage.
As for claims that some questions contained on the visa application form are offensive, such as questions whether the applicant has every had any involvement with a terrorist organization or prostitution, he stressed that these questions are asked by US embassies across the world, under the US immigration act and approved by US congress.

I’ve got an idea: Let’s import lots and lots of terrorists! Not only will we have an excuse for taking nudie pics of Americans and fondling their kiddies at airports, but they’ll actually demand it!

It’s not only the current resident of the white house that has allowed the flood:

That should fill up our pilot schools.
Does anyone know how many Americans apply for a Saudi visa to visit their sand pile each year?
Or, we wonder if any are involved in terrorism.
America is a great place to come for a variety of reasons. At the top of the list is business. Saudi’s come to visit vendors and to buy things. Many have business offices here to facilitate the orderly purchasing, bankng and shipping functions.
Saudi Arabia is a big American customer
Interesting that 9-11 was used as an excuse to install ever encroaching surveillance and abrogations of freedom in place of securing our borders and halting the flood of entrants, illegal and legal, from countries that hate us.

Maybe they men also coming to marry American Saudi women thus creating a citizenship foothold., have children. Can’t they have mOre than one wife?
Frankly, if I were running things, there would be zero visas granted to Muslims.
In 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent U.S. residents — nearly 96,000 — than in any year in the previous two decades. More than 40,000 of them were admitted last year, the highest annual number since the terrorist attacks, according to data on 22 countries provided by the Department of Homeland Security.

Thanks for the links.
Why should we let one of these people in?
What are we trying to turn our country into?
Bush was one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.
And, finally, the report shows that at least one of every three Muslim immigrants (28%) in America in 2007 came here during the Bush Administration, the ultimate evidence that Bush pandered to Islam and ignored 9/11.

Immigration will eventually leave America dead on the floor.
In 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent U.S. residents than in any year in the previous two decades.

Divide the number granted by 19....that way, we’ll know how many planes we’re gonna lose.....
In fact, during Bush's reign in office, upwards of 15 million people entered the U.S. illegally, from Gods knows where, during war time no less.
Bush was one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.
“Another reason to get in the trenches and fight like hell to remove this muzzie bastard in OUR White House.....”
.
Isn’t it also the job of congresscritters, SCOTUS, “conservative” talkshow hosts to get in the trenches?
But they are all silent on the subject.
