THE TERROR ATTACK EVERYONE SEES COMING

A perfect storm of Islamic extremism and weak border policy is going to bring tragedy to the homeland.

That’s according to a growing number of lawmakers on Capitol Hill who are concerned about the increasing frequency of reports refugees and illegal immigrants being implicated in terror plots.

The latest example involves Iraqi Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who was admitted to the nation as a refugee in 2011 and who now faces charges related to a plot to bomb malls in Houston in support of ISIS.

Judicial Watch reported:

The indictment is scarce in details, probably for national security reasons, but it’s the culmination of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Joint Terrorism Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Houston Police Department. Al Hardan, who attended school in Jordan and doesn’t speak very good English, was arrested in the Harris County apartment he shares with his 18-year-old wife and infant child. He appeared in a Houston federal courtroom last week and has a bond hearing and arraignment scheduled for this week. A local newspaper report says Al Hardan and his family live on food stamps, compliments of American taxpayers. His defense attorney will also be financed by taxpayers.

Since just 2014, there have been in excess of 113 foreign-born individuals arrested on terror charges in the U.S. And there are at least 1,000 other ongoing investigations into ISIS members residing in the country.

Unfortunately, the Obama administration is currently stonewalling congressional efforts to figure out how and why those individuals made it into the country.

Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), in a recent letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, revealed why the administration doesn’t want the information to be made public.

They wrote: “Of these 113 individuals, at least 14 were initially admitted to the United States as refugees. Many more came through other immigration programs. A number of immigrant terrorists were even approved for citizenship. Others are the U.S.-born children of foreign migrants whose presence in the country would not be possible but for the immigration of their parents.

“The resources spent every year investigating the countless number of immigrant terrorist suspects in the United States are astronomical. And yet, as this costly and dangerous status quo continues, the U.S. continues to admit approximately 680,000 migrants from Muslim countries every five years.”

But Sessions and Cruz aren’t telling Obama administration officials anything they didn’t already know about terrorists exploiting the immigration system to kill Americans.

In fact, according to Judicial Watch, the State Department has known for more than a decade that Islamic extremists are teaming up with Mexican smugglers to get across the southern border.
From the watchdog:

Information about Middle Eastern terrorists entering the U.S. through Mexico appears in a September 2, 2004 cable — declassified 10 years later — titled “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT, A PROVEN CI TO USG IN THE PAST, REPORTS ARAB CELLS WITHIN MEXICO.” It explains that a reputable government informant went to the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez and provided information pertaining to suspect Arab extremists who have been smuggled into the U.S. through the Mexican border. “The confidential source (SUBJECT) stated his family member, who is a human trafficker, knows the exact whereabouts of three Arabs who are currently being hidden in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico,” the State Department cable reads. “Although not absolutely positive, one of the three is likely Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, alleged to be a Saudi Arabian terrorist cell leader thought to be in Mexico. SUBJECT also provided information on two smuggling networks, “cells,” that specialize in providing logistical support for Arab individuals attempting to enter the United States.”

Additionally, the administration has admitted that even the Muslim immigrants that go through “proper” government channels to become refugees in the country can’t all be vetted.

FBI Director James Comey said as much during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing last year.  And on Wednesday, Comey told lawmakers: “We can only query against that which we have collected. And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there will be nothing show up because we have no record of them.”

Terrorism expert Patrick Poole told the Washington Free Beacon that 2015 was one of the worst years to date in terms of terror activity.

“The ISIS-inspired domestic terror threat is unlike anything we’ve seen since 9/11,” Poole said. “By the midpoint of 2015 we saw the number of international-related terror arrests eclipse the previous two years combined. That’s simply staggering.”

But even with ISIS-related incidents like the apprehension of a would-be bomber in Texas; murder in San Bernardino, California; and the attempted execution of a cop in Philadelphia increasing, the Obama administration refuses to rethink its immigration/refugee policies.

That means 2016 could be a tragic year in the U.S.
