Obama Administration stonewalling investigation into 113 terrorists inside US

“Obama Admin Stonewalling Investigation Into 113 Terrorists Inside United States,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, January 11, 2016:

Leading senators on Monday petitioned multiple Obama administration agencies to stop stonewalling a congressional investigation into the immigration histories of at least 113 foreign-born individuals implicated in terrorist operations after legally entering the United States, according to a copy of the letters.

The latest investigation comes just days after the Washington Free Beacon disclosed that an additional 41 foreign-born individuals who legally entered the United States had been arrested for planning a number of terror attacks.

Sens. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) disclosed Monday that they had been pressuring the Obama administration for months to disclose the immigration histories of these foreign-born individuals implicated in terror plots.

Agencies including the Departments of State and Homeland Security have stonewalled these efforts, declining since mid-2015 to provide Congress additional information. This move has prompted speculation among lawmakers that the administration is withholding information to prevent the exposure of major gaps in the U.S. screening process for new immigrants.

“The American people are entitled to information on the immigration history of terrorists seeking to harm them,” Cruz and Sessions wrote to the secretaries of State and Homeland Security and the attorney general.

Similar requests for information issued sent in August and again in December have not been answered by the administration

The letter cites a recent Free Beacon report detailing that an additional 41 foreign-born individuals had been snagged on terrorism-related charges since 2014. The disclosure of these previously unknown accused terrorists brings the total number of foreigners brought up on terrorism charges to 113.

Sessions and Cruz note that at least 14 of those foreigners accused of terrorism were granted legal entrance to the United States as refugees.

“Many more came through other immigration programs,” they wrote. “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.”

Many of these recently implicated foreigners have been caught by authorities planning terrorist attacks on American soil, while others were found to be involved in efforts to provide funding and material to ISIS, according to an internal list of migrant terrorists codified by congressional sources and viewed by the Free Beacon.

Cruz and Sessions are requesting that the agencies in question fill out a chart that includes only partial information about the 113 accused terrorists.

A senior congressional aide familiar with the investigation said the soaring rate of immigration is taking a toll on the U.S. security establishment.

“The cost of high rates of Muslim immigration are clear: enormous security challenges combined with vast expenses to track and convict those here attempting to wound Americans,” the source said….

    This should surprise nobody.

    I have maintained from the outset that obama is a muslim, and is functioning exactly like a muslim Manchurian candidate.

    I could give a laundry list of why this muslim clown should have been impeached a long time ago.

    Every day I pray to God that He smite islam, and give my country back to Americans.

      Good prayer, sadly, he will continue to give this country to this; http://www.blindfoldnation.com/ filthy swine they are. They cause nothing but problems in all countries they go to! Rape, kill, assault, that is what islam represents.

        Jan 15, 2016 at 4:13 pm

        Dear Nomoreislamicstate , this behaviour , and I’ve seen it and been involved in it quite a few times in reality ( The Netherlands ) makes my blood boil , time and time again . Hate is evil , but sometimes I lose it .

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 15, 2016 at 5:39 pm

          Dear Ernie, I don’t believe that hatred *of evil* is evil itself. Far from it.

        • somehistory says

          Jan 15, 2016 at 6:29 pm

          Ernie, always remember, when dealing with this sort of thing, the Psalmist wrote :”Oh, you lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad.”

          And the Proverb: “There are six things that Jehovah hates, seven things are detestable to Him.”
          One of the things our God hates is “hands that shed innocent blood.” Another is “lying.”

          Jesus said we are to be like our Heavenly Father. It is not wrong to hate evil. We are commanded to do so.

        Dear Gravenimage and Somehistory , both of you are right in what you’re saying about the matter , and I appreciate the Biblical perspective you both present in your comments . I hate the evil that islam is , but what worries me is , that I don’t only hate the ideologie of islam , or certain behaviours of people , but that I occasionally hate muslims , people . My emotions overrule my rational thinking in that case , and I really have to calm down to see things in the right ( and that’s for me the Christian ) perspective . Yes , it presents a real challenge sometimes . Thank you both for your imput ; it’s important and helpful to me .

        • somehistory says

          Jan 15, 2016 at 7:59 pm

          I very much appreciate your feelings and the fact that you wish to do the right (Christian for me too) thing. I have, as a human, the same fight every other human who tries to follow Christ has. I recall different faithful ones in the Bible and realize that our God understands the problems for us. (David facing the giant, and later having to flee King Saul is one example, Jeremiah is another good one and not to forget Joseph, son of Jacob.)
          And then I recall Jesus and what He said to those who were serving satan: “You are from your father the devil.” “Serpents, offspring of vipers, how are you to flee the judgment of Gehenna?”
          “Do not give what is holy to dogs nor throw your pearls before swine.”

          Jesus met these people face to face. He *loved* them in that He wanted them to change. But He also told them just what they were making of themselves by their behavior, thinking, and following satan the devil. They were wasting, for themselves, His sacrifice.

          He knows full well how we feel. He understands our feelings. All He and His Father expect is for us to do our best to follow their commands. 🙂

          Jan 16, 2016 at 3:43 am

          I too appreciate your feelings Ernie, and I have prayed long and hard, invoking Gen 12:3 and asking the Lord to forgive our nation while punishing our leaders. I pray also the Lord recognizes the distinction between leaders and nation. But my fear is the distinction will not be recognized.

        • somehistory says

          Jan 16, 2016 at 5:14 pm

          Thank you, Ernie. I pray that He blesses you.

          Another verse I meant to reference: Matthew 17:17. It shows some of what Christ felt as a Man.

          Let me add what king David writes in psalm 5: “O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. For thou art not a God who hath pleasure in wickedness; neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.”
          “Well God, what your servant David writes is correct, isn’t it? Then, please, do away with the evils that Muhammad’s descendants are perpetrating all these years. And please wake up our leaders to what Islam is so that they would do their utmost to protect us from the evils of Islam.”

        • Ernie says

          Jan 16, 2016 at 9:58 pm

          Dear Don , invoking Gen 12:3 and asking the Lord to FORGIVE our nation , I have my doubts too . The European Union’s and U.S.A.’s administrations are indeed not blessing the Jewish people . These administrations are endangering the Jewish people , within their territories by importing islamist murderers , who love to kill Jews , and those administrations are executing politics against the safety and other interests of Eretz Israel . The United Nations as a representive of the worlds nations are doing the same . I understand your praying to the Lord asking to make a difference between the American people and the current administration , and to forgive the nation/people . But forgiveness asks for repentence . As long as the people still support their leaders politics there is no repentance , hence no forgiveness . The Lord will not bless the nations doing evil against the Jewish people , no , He’ll curse them . The Iran Nuclear Deal is supported by many nations and directly endangering Eretz Israel . These nations will regret this deal , they’ll pay for it . I believe that . I see in your comment a clear message for our peoples . Thank you for the message .

          Jan 16, 2016 at 10:38 am

          Why should an American President investigate the low number of 113 terrorists? A muslim cannot be a “talebearer” against another muslim, it is an offense according to the k book. So do we have a problem…..just like Fort Hood…..Mercer or is it the diversity effect, except for truth telling.

    • underbed cat says

      Jan 16, 2016 at 9:38 am

      I agree. I listened to Obm’s SOTU speech, struck by the cool delivery and at the end again he was bursting to claim that any resentment of the “religions of no peace” was a mistake, I thought that he wanted to announce his signing of Resolution 1618, to criminalize truthful speech about Islam, that he would consider hate speech. But alas, he restrained his statement and he may pop up some other day to announce his signing away of our freedom of speech. Which has already been compromised. Sending 1.6 billion to Iran, who freely states they want to kill us, was just bad timing…so he decided to wait is my opinion.
      Lastly watching a well known news show,and an interview with a guest, I thought I heard, unless my gps was off, that Saudi Arabia was waiting for directions from Obama, a quick gasp and then a quick change of subject…. so maybe these oil prices which dropped, Oba mentioned that was good news, maybe to cause a market plummet. Weird how this works… messaging in plain sight, or so it seems. The final revenge of obm, that together with no cost of living increase for seniors and his apparent indifference for the U.S is complete no matter how elegant a delivery. Misdirection is such a skill.

    You know, were this the Bush administration I’d attribute this to someone trying to save their own ass and sweeping a lapse in judgment under the carpet. But with this administration, I see no other explanation than treason – such an investigation would be evidence that their touted vetting processes are worthless, and rather than amending their views, they simply want to hide the skeletons and carry on business as usual. Those hundreds of thousand of Democrat voter… I mean, “Syrian” “refugees” need to keep coming, and it’s not mere facts that’s going to make them stop and smell the java.

    Putting people in jobs based on hyperbolized need must stop…
    Homeland Security is way over staffed with wrong personal and ineffective with wrong perspectives…the executive administrative staff is micro managing all agency efforts…special Interests are involved in influencing opinion of so many issues…while the issues needing attention must wait until an event draws attention to Itself.

    This President’s terms in office is ending and who ever gets the office must work with law makers to unravel this Bureaucracy…Give control back to the security apparatus and department heads…and tie all their efforts to achievable goals and results that matter most…and insist that they produce realistic result based on what is achievable…stop giving undue attention to imagined problems.
    We can significantly reduce the chaos…the cost…and orchestrate coordinated efforts so much better.

    Obama: “Sixty years ago, when the Russians beat us into space, we didn’t deny Sputnik was up there”. He also said, “I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam.”

    See, he’s keeping his promise though, despite his denial, Islam is at war with America.

      Obama was truthful to the audience of his choice, other muslims. Many Christians, Jewish, Atheist Americans didn’t get special treatment or saved, we are of course infidels.

    And yesterday on one of his campaign swings, he criticized the Republicans for not applauding him loud enough and often enough during his ridiculous SOTU speech. One assumes that those who offended our Muslim president did not wish to further encourage him in his destruction of this country. And when one considers how little they have done to curb his illegal EOs, not applauding is the least they could do
