Former FBI Official: Halting Immigration Is ‘Not Who We Are,’ Americans Must ‘Adjust’ To Terrorism
Breitbart ^ | 12-5-2017 | John Binder

Posted on 12/05/2017 5:23:46 AM PST by blam

A former official with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says Americans will have to “adjust” to a new country where terrorism is routine because halting immigration is “not who we are.” Former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI C. Frank Figliuzzi writes in a piece for NBC News that terrorism in the United States is changing quickly to a strategy where terrorism is merely mitigated and contained.

Rather than halting immigration from particularly dangerous and terrorist-sanctioned regions of the world, Figliuzzi says Americans may have to change the way they live, noting how Americans in the car rental business and hotel industry are now subject to “rigorous training” on terrorism-related issues.

But just as officials are adjusting their perspective, it may be time for the public to adjust as well. Terrorism task forces around the nation already have rigorous training and awareness programs for truck rental personnel, hotel staff, and a host of other groups who may find themselves suddenly on the front lines of our war against terror. If we cling to the old view that any successful attack represents a counterterrorism failure, we must also be ready to accept a new way of life. Do we want to view anyone from a different country, with a different set of beliefs, as no longer welcome here?

While Figliuzzi admits that it’s Americans who will have to suffer, he argues that current legal immigration — whereby more than one million foreign nationals enter the U.S. every year — trends must continue, no matter if they might expose Americans to more terrorist threats.

I would argue we do not. Today, the White House is already calling for even more stringent constraints on immigration policy.

Halt all immigration for at least 50 years and let the current immigrants assimilate.

Assimmilate or leave, destroy all no-go zones.

Nobody is halting immigration. This is stupid. He thinks we’re idiots.

Let me see if I understand this. It’s part of our Heritage to let people into our country who’s only goal is to kill us. Is that right?

Hell of a lot of damned government figures (including presidential candidate John F***TheArmy Kerry in the 2004 campaign) say that we need to accept random bombings, hit and run, and Islamist gun attacks as big country living.

“not who we are”

Who exactly is this “we” that he’s referring to? Did he take a vote? How many volunteers has he found to be victims of terrorism? Is he one of them?

Jerk.

If a person’s job depends upon fighting criminals, then we should not be surprised to see FBI agents want to import more criminals into the USA so their jobs become more important and they can receive more salary.

Something tells me that a reason to import criminals into the USA is for the purpose of expanding our national police force which in turn means more government control over citizens.

Is the USA becoming a totalitarian state?

Wrong dude! The American people heavily support the Trump doctrine of keeping terrorist out of our Country. At this time, the SCOTUS green lights this effort.

Conveniently relieves law enforcement of proactive responsibilities, reducing them to functioning as overpaid insurance claims adjusters.

Glad people like this speak up. They need to be run out before they damage morale and attract more of their kind.

This “not who we are” phrase was used often by Obama to justify his open borders and illegal alien give-aways. It would be interesting to see if this agent’s rise to a prominent position was given a political boost during either the Obama or even Clinton years.

“Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI C. Frank Figliuzzi”

With A holes like this populating the FBI is it any wonder we are in the trouble we are in. We really need to take back this country. If that means putting the heads of dopes like this on pikes so be it. We get immunization shots for the flu because we don’t want the flu. We don’t let the flu get us because we have drugs to minimize the effects of it.

I think a former person in that job, or one close to it, was actually a Russian Spy for years in DC. I see the need
for this job may be over. Turn the CI operation over to the old CIC.

I’d love to see Trump fire him and, in a statement, say, basically what I did. And then say, “and that’s why I fired him. His disrespect for the intelligence of the American people.

So a “Former FBI Official” does not know the difference between legal and illegal (immigration.) But of course.

I wonder if this guy works for a contractor/corporation “fighting terrorism”.

They have a vested interest in seeing more of it.
