Leftists, at war with reality as always, continue to insist that there is absolutely no national security aspect of the immigration issue.
“The Back Story Behind Hezbollah ‘Sleeper’ Arrested In NYC By Joint Terrorism Task Force,” by Michael Cutler, Jewish Voice, October 3, 2019:
A “sleeper” is an alien who, in one way or another, manages to enter the United States, either legally or illegally, and then maintains a low profile, hiding in plain sight until he/she is called into action to carry out terror attacks or support terror attacks in the United States.
Often sleeper agents may also conduct surveillance, amass supplies or otherwise engage in preparatory functions for future deadly terror attacks.
On September 19, 2019 the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York issued a press release entitled, “Manhattan U.S. Attorney Announces Indictment Of New Jersey Man For Terrorist Activities On Behalf Of Hizballah’s Islamic Jihad Organization.” The subtitle of that press release provides more disturbing information. Alexei Saab Allegedly Was Trained by Hizballah’s External Terrorist Operations Component in Bomb-Making and Conducted Intelligence-Gathering in New York City and Washington, D.C., and Elsewhere in Support of Hizballah’s Attack-Planning Efforts….
To begin with, according to the allegations, Saab joined Hezbollah in 1996 and legally entered the United States nearly 20 years ago, in 2000. There was no mention as to the visa he used to enter the United States but it was disclosed that he applied for U.S. citizenship in 2005 and was subsequently naturalized in 2008.
In 2005 he traveled to Turkey to receive training in weapons, explosives and surveillance techniques and to be debriefed by his handlers about the results of his surveillance of potential terror targets in New York City, Washington, DC and elsewhere and that during one of his trips outside the United States he tried, unsuccessfully, at Hezbollah’s direction, to kill a man they believed to be an Israeli intelligence agent.
For nearly 20 years this sleeper agent lived quietly among his neighbors in New Jersey. However, his ultimate goal was to participate in a deadly terror attack to slaughter many victims.
If not for the work of the law enforcement officers who ultimately, through information provided by an informant, it is entirely possible that he would have gone on to carry out a deadly attack….

How many more are in this country? God only knows for sure, it’s ashame that we have let the enemy in without a thought to the public. Our great elected leaders only care about how they look to the world. That’s why Trump was voted in, to take care of citizens first.
Shirley Ann says
No longer do we go to the Enemy’s Country, to kick his/her Derrière, Our Western leaders Invite the Enemy into our COUNTRY, where the Enemy choose to kick Our Derrières.
Ray Jarman says
Once again, this will not be on the front pages of the FAKENEWS outlets and probably not on page 30 either. As Robert points out were it not for our law enforcement at all levels, another act of terrorism in which many innocent people would have been slaughtered and maimed.

“Saab joined Hezbollah in 1996 and legally entered the United States nearly 20 years ago, in 2000.”
Well, a sleeper allowed in by sleepers. Doesn’t take much of an effort to get in.
We are from the government and we are proud to say that we are sound asleep.
mortimer says
Alexei Saab … white-collar jihadist … educated … financially not suffering … smooth-talking … a ‘normal’, ‘regular’ fellow … likeable even. BUT HE WANTS TO MASSACRE AMERICANS IN COLD BLOOD.
Alexei Saab is exactly what I mean by ‘MUSLIM ROULETTE’. For every 10,000 Muslims, there are several who are planning to kill us. Every sixth Muslim self-declares as a supporter of jihad-terrorism and that sixth Muslim will put a bullet in the chamber, while people like Alexei Saab will pull the trigger.
James Lincoln says
Absolutely true, mortimer.
It is literally impossible to predict which Muslims will actually conduct Islamic jihad and which ones will not. They all, however, belong to a religious ideology that promotes Jihad – in its various forms – in order to impose sharia law.
Ergo, not a single Muslim should be allowed into the United States. The ones that are here illegally should be immediately deported. The rest should be monitored very closely – and all mosques should be under surveillance – and permanently shut down if promoting jihad…

Yes–doesn’t he look “moderate”?
mortimer says
The CIA which should be watching and stopping jihadists like Alexei Saab ARE NOT DOING A VERY GOOD JOB, because they are ideologically UNPREPARED FOR JIHAD.
The CIA should be using ROBERT SPENCER’S BOOKS and then they interdict more jihadis.
tgusa says
For all we know the CIA could very well be crawling with jihadists. I know they oppose the President just as jihadists/jihadist nations/democrats do. DC departments/agencies have become employment agencies for leftists/democrats and that’s a big problem for the entire country. We cannot just drain the swamp we need a reclamation project as well.
Fr Christopher says
Remember: BRENNAN became a mohammedan while “serving” in our Embassy in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s. His “religion” now encourages him to LIE to us “non-believers” with impunity. And 0-Zero appointed him to CIA Head…
Case closed.
Spiro says
Oh come on people what could possible go wrong.
After all our elite leaders tells us it’s the religion of peace
DHazard says
The weakness in democracy is democracy. The strength in democracy is democracy – plus law enforcement. Were they too late this time? I don’t know enough to judge.

Muslim joins Hizballah, then migrates to US, then goes to Turkey for explosives and weapons training
…………………………
Glad he was caught–but this took long enough. How many more pious Muslims like this one are in the US–and in the rest of the West.
Battle says
Alexei Saab, Army Of Allah smiles at us.

Possibily, Wrong religious education at young age could be the reason for the focussed determination for many youths to get in to such activities. Government should nip the root cause by monitoring religious teachings by radical outsider priests to prevent such criminality
