Anatomy of the terror threat: Files show hundreds of US plots, refugee connection
Fox News.com ^ | June 22, 2016 | Judson Berger

Newly obtained congressional data shows hundreds of terror plots have been stopped in the U.S. since 9/11 – mostly involving foreign-born suspects, including dozens of refugees.

The files are sure to inflame the debate over the Obama administration’s push to admit thousands more refugees from Syria and elsewhere, a proposal Donald Trump has vehemently opposed on the 2016 campaign trail.

“[T]hese data make clear that the United States not only lacks the ability to properly screen individuals prior to their arrival, but also that our nation has an unprecedented assimilation problem,” Sens. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told President Obama in a June 14 letter, obtained by FoxNews.com.

The files also give fresh insight into the true scope of the terror threat and cover a wide range of cases, including:

So what the heck was Joe Biden lying about the other day ? Zero evidence that refugees are more violent ? Maybe when compared to non refugee Muslim immigrants.

Besides the arrogant one, look at the top rats in the administration from DIA/CIA, SOS and others are openingly warning us about probably terror acts by Isis by name and just terror acts.

They must be getting some really scary intel from NSA/CIA/? to be making these statements to the public via major media!

“”They must be getting some really scary intel from NSA/CIA/? to be making these statements to the public via major media!””

We have to assume that they have pretty much the numbers of muslim infiltrators they want in the various agencies by now. Right under our noses. What has Mc Caul or anyone else in Congress had to say about that? WOW - that would sure trigger the SHTF. Michelle Bachman was right. Did that scare everyone else away? That is NOT RIGHT!!!

Hey I asked you not to refer to that arrogant pos as “bammy” It sound like a term of endearment and it makes me think you are a big fan of that arrogant pos. So please stop it.

He’s a liberal and the all lie, because it comes natural to them and they can’t help it.

“...mostly involving foreign-born suspects...”

And yet out president, the arch-imbecile, keeps right on importing more and more foreign-born immigrants, despite protests from virtually everywhere.

Let’s face it, he simply doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the will of the American people.

And he never did.

Without access to more data, it's difficult to pronounce this true or false. The article does say:

For the period September 2001 through 2014, data shows the U.S. successfully prosecuted 580 individuals for terrorism and terror-related cases. Further, since early 2014, at least 131 individuals were identified as being implicated in terror.

Across both those groups, the senators reported that at least 40 people initially admitted to the U.S. as refugees later were convicted or implicated in terror cases.

Among the 580 convicted, they said, at least 380 were foreign-born. The top countries of origin were Pakistan, Lebanon and Somalia, as well as the Palestinian territories.

The 380 foreign-born convicts heavily over-represent the Middle East. But, apparently only about 10% were considered "refugees".

This is why parsing the sentence carefully is necessary. If you confine the discussion to "refugees", the results are much different than considering all immigrants from majority Islamic countries.

They have to get them here so they can call it “homegrown”.

They have nothing to fear, or so they think.

They want to be Gods, Prophets and sow chaos.

Exactly. But we can say that the majority of terrorists were foriegn born Islamists. So Islamic refugees are more likely to be terrorists than Tibetan monks.

They are not refugees; they are invaders. Islam must be banned in western nations. Deport Muslims, put US troops on our borders and institute a “pet the pig” requirement to enter the US or board a plane. Let the Muslims have their Sunni/Shia war in their own crappy countries. Stay out of ours.
