I commented on Stephane Coker's blog Nation Founded on Immigrants, Fearful of Terrorist
I think Stephane’s last sentence makes an excellent point: “one bad apple spoiling the bunch.” America has found that bad apple! In light of the San Bernardino attacks it is clear that the US Government is not capable of fully screening immigrants. Case in point: Tashfeen Malik legally entered our country without raising any eyebrows. In the Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) Intelligence Report issued just last week, the government admitted that ISIS is capable of printing Syrian passports that are totally legitimate looking ever since ISIS overtook the city of Deir ez-Zour last summer. It seems Deir ez-Zour had been home to an official passport office and the terrorist literally walked in and confiscated a bunch of blank passports and a printing machine. FBI Director James Comey admits that top security officials have “very real anxiety over the problem.” If the FBI Director and other top security officials have real anxiety, we ought to be down right panicked. To make matters worse, Donald Trump is spewing hateful speech calling for a “total and complete” shut down on all Muslim immigrants. Besides being blatantly unconstitutional that would also violate international treaties and laws.
