Good news everyone: We're back to pre-911 complacency as Islamic terror armies gain ground all over the world (as a side note, the United States apparently still doesn't have a strategy in place on how to deal with this growing, real threat). An alarming new report from ABC News shows authorities from U.S. Customs and Immigration and the State Department have lost track of 6,000 foreign students whose visas have expired.
As a reminder, the 9/11 hijackers purposely applied for student visas to get into the United States and knew when those visas expired nobody would come looking for them. To add insult to injury, the 9/11 hijackers should have never been issued visas in the first place. Remember this headline? State Dept. Lapses Aided 9/11 Hijackers.
A new report accuses the State Department of staggering lapses in its visa program that gave Sept. 11 hijackers entry into the United States.
The political journal National Review obtained the visa applications for 15 of the 19 hijackers — and evidence that all of them should have been denied entry to the country.
Almost all of the hijacker's visas were issued in Saudi Arabia, at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh or the U.S. Consulate in Jedda. Terrorist ties aside, the applications themselves should have raised red flags, say experts. The forms are incomplete and often incomprehensible — yet that didn't stop any of the 15 terrorists for whom the visa applications were obtained from coming to the United States.
The only alleged would-be hijacker who failed to get a visa was Ramzi Binalshibh, who was denied entrance to the United States repeatedly.
"This is a systemic problem," said Nikolai Wenzel, a former U.S. consular officer. "It's a problem of sloppiness, it's a problem of negligence which I would call criminal negligence because obviously, having reviewed all these applications, there is a pattern here."
The pattern? None of the 15 applications reviewed was filled out properly.
He gets those briefings in written form and does not consult anyone, that is if he even reads them.
Unfortunately, so does Obama. It's impossible to be this incompetent, so this is by design.
Most U.S. "Authorities" can't find their own azz...with both hands...at high noon...in Timesquare...with pre-printed instructions!! PATHETIC.
If they want to find you, it takes about one day. The key word is "Want" to find you.
A young colleague of mine studied for a year in Denmark.
Before issuing his student visa they issued him the equivalent of a Social Security Number. He was required to present that number for virtually every necessary life activity. From leasing an apartment to making a bank deposit to buying a bus pass. That number had an expiration date. At midnight on that date he essentially turned into a pumpkin. The visa came with a polite but very firm letter from the authorities telling him he had better be out of their country by that time.
If the Danes can do it, why can’t we?
And the left screamed about President Bush having been warned 6 weeks before September 11, 2001 about the terrorist attack without any exact time and place where the attacks are going to happen
I guess the good news is it is only 6000 potential terrorists, not like they lost the handle on 10 million or so illegal invaders.
This one should be hung around Hillary’s neck.
PING
Can’t find 6,000 students? I seriously doubt they’re even looking.
I’d bet that it is more like a thousand times 6,000.
We spent billions after 9/11 for nothing. The sole purpose of all this was so politicians could spend money, not secure the people.
I wonder what field of study these students were pursuing?
Engineering? Chemical? Microbiology? I’ll bet not a single one was studying any of the below:
Women’s Studies
African-American studies
Community Organizing
The PDB that had liberals up in arms with mock outrage mentioned nothing specific about upcoming terrorist attacks. It noted previous attacks that had occurred under Clinton, and that Bin Ladin was determined to strike the U.S. That’s it. Liberals act like he should have immediately shut down all the airports. At least Bush read the memo, and even had it declassified. Obama won’t even declassify his college transcripts.
Right. Yet they know where I go to church, what I do for recreation, how much livestock I keep, where I buy my beans and can see in my bathroom window.
Butterfingers!
(ie: Obama)
I disagree. He got through life pretending to be black, as an Indonesian on his college application, as an affirmative action (fake black foreigner) student for law school. His whole life seems to have been doing and saying what he needed to for this own benefit. People perceived his ability to read speeches sounding white (which he mostly is) as having high intelligence.
I think he's in way above his head and has no analytic skills or knowledge that prepare him to understand long term solutions.
He's been played, just like we have. And he doesn't have the imagination or vision to care about the future. JMHO
Rodriguez also administers EB-5 visas as head of USCIS (A DHS agency).....EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:
BACKSTORY In an earlier statement----citing a Homeland Security Investigations memo----Sen Charles Grassley said the oversight federal agency ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:
1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.
2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.
3) Use by terrorists.
4) Investment fraud by regional center.
5) Investment fraud by investors.
6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.
7) Illicit finance/money laundering.
==================================================
Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a latino-centric advocacy group---pushing for unlimited immigration, and has connections to nationwide immigrant groups.
=================================================
ACTION--CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE WEB SITE---YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS---https://tips.fbi.gov
<><> Taxpayers demand Rodriguez, USCIS, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated. Supboena official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.
<><> Taxpayers demand to know if govt factotums like Rodriguez, and the aforementioned tax-funded groups, are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.
<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.
===============================================
================================================
Eye-opening exchanges on this topic at the recent House Judiciary hearing on immigration.
<><> Patriot Cong Randy Forbes said Americans need to know if violent gang members are walking their streets. Forbes asked Obama appointee Leon Rodrigues---whether the agency asked applicants about gang membership---and when they invariably reply no, how does the agency know whether it's true or not?
The calculated Rodriguez would not reveal information---Forbes insisted on knowing "do you even ask them if they're gang members."
<><> Even more interesting was watching brilliant Cong Louie Gohmert (Rep-Tx) set the trap for the oily Rodriguez.
Former judge Gohmert's brilliant circumlocution was awesome. He nailed the mealy-mouth Rodrigues to the wall.
CONG GOHMERT: WRT drug cartels paid $6-10,000 to "guide" the hordes over the border---"Would you, as a former prosecutor, call them criminals?," he nonchalantly asked Gonzales.
The smirking Rodrigues stepped headlong into the trap as Cong Gohmert casually hoisted him on his own petard.....making the point that if the hordes were coming here to escape drug cartels, why is it they consort w/ the criminals, and pay the violent breed to get over the border?
You don’t get it, do you? Who is more dangerous illegals coming here to find a better life or terrorists coming here wanting to kill us.
And before you scream that I support illegal immigration let me inform you that I am a naturalized citizen who came here legally almost 48 years ago (September 25, 1966) to be exact.
