Obama administration officials are quick to defend the President’s refugee policy. They claim that it’s safe and that the vetting process is comprehensive. However, a leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security tells a very different story.
The memo said, “Refugee fraud is easy to commit, yet not easy to investigate because refugee laws purposefully contain relaxed evidentiary requirements.” That means it is substantially easier for refugees to come to America than it is for other legal immigrants.
The problem is that refugees generally come from areas where extremists can easily infiltrate the system. As the leaked memo said, “Refugee claims are typically made in areas of the world where it is difficult to investigate the veracity of the claim.”
By definition, the refugees who are trying to get into the U.S. are coming from nations that are under siege by terror. They come directly from the places where the terrorists are hiding. Radical Islamic terrorists consider America to be the “Great Satan.”
Common sense should tell us that they are trying to sneak in through our refugee system. Even John Kirby from Obama’s State Department admitted this undeniable fact.
He said, “I wouldn’t debate the fact that there’s the potential for ISIS terrorists to try to insert themselves, and we see that in some of the refugee camps in Jordan and in Turkey, where they try to insert themselves into the population.”
Even Obama’s own administration knows that there is a refugee problem.
Obama’s failed refugee policies cannot give American citizens the protection they are entitled to. If we really want to stem the tide of radical Islamic terror, we need to stop inviting terrorists onto our shores.
Bringing thousands of Muslim refugees to America is not the solution that the American people want. It seems like every day is a new tragedy. Bombings, shootings and killings dominate the headlines.
This leaked DHS memo should be a wake-up call for America. Refugees are a part of the problem. It’s time to put our own citizens before potentially deadly foreigners. {eoa}
