USCIS Director L. Francis Cissna has got the right attitude. We are a nation of citizens with a common civic culture who welcome a modest number immigrants of merit to enter our country and contribute to our society.

I met a couple of Thai women who both graduated from the local university getting Ph.D. degrees in psychology.

But they don’t have jobs. They seek jobs and maybe husbands that will enable them to stay as Green Card holders. I guess a lot of that goes on.

Show me a British subject Kenyan raised in Indonesia who becomes President of the United States of America in violation of the Constitution. . . 

. . .and I will show you a nation that has been corrupted by its own leaders.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Who will guard the guards themselves?

We can also thank the GOP for not standing up for the Constitution because they also had ineligible candidates they wanted to run.

‘Spotty’ means they don’t keep records that can be trusted. They just as well keep none at all.

In most cases, the records do exist. A lot depends on which country we're talking about. Any country that has had a civil war, or has otherwise become a theater of war, has had some destruction of records.

If records do exist, it's reasonable to rely on them if certified copies are provided by a government agency. No country is immune to the ravages of war. Refugees from Croatia, which is a European Christian country, during the wars and ethnic cleansing of the 1990s sometimes had this problem: birth certificates and marriage licenses and certificates destroyed when a local government office was bombed or burned. It's not limited to Third World countries.

I hasten to add that the governments of nations on Trump’s travel ban list, particularly Iran and Somalia, cannot be trusted to provide legitimate documentation, and are an exception to the above statement. I support the travel ban.

“The 45-year-old was arrested at an apartment complex on suspicion of killing a police officer in Iraq in 2014 and is accused of having deep ties to the Islamic State and al Qaeda terrorist groups, according to the Department of Justice. His arrest has stirred up disturbing questions about the country’s refugee vetting process, which resettlement agencies and federal officials have insisted is air tight.”

If the CIA and intel community would be more focused on catching terrorists, instead of making up phony charges against our president, maybe they would not have allowed this terrorist into the US.

Add the FBI to your list. The FBI thugs are responsible for monitoring people like this killer!

The real question is how many hundreds have slipped through before catching this one? ISIS will be a problem in the US in the days to come. It’s only logical with a porous border and their fanaticism.
