“Cruz claimed insufficient vetting ‘is an invitation to terrorist attacks here in the United States.'”
Yes, and those attacks will come.
“Ted Cruz: Poor vetting of Afghanistan refugees could be ‘invitation’ to terror attacks,” by Ryan Tillman, Fox News, August 27, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Sen. Ted Cruz had stern warnings for the Biden administration Friday over its handling of the ensuing Afghanistan crisis, arguing the United States’ executive leadership is opening the door to additional terror attacks at home and abroad.
“I’m very concerned that the Biden administration is bringing tens of thousands of refugees into the United States without thoroughly vetting them,” Cruz, R-Texas, told reporters Friday in El Paso. With more refugees coming to the U.S. by the day, Cruz claimed insufficient vetting “is an invitation to terrorist attacks here in the United States.”
He also took aim at President Biden’s push to stick to the administration’s Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline, with indications that hundreds of Americans remained in Afghanistan Friday. “We cannot be abandoning Americans, we can’t surrender to the demands of terrorists,” he said.
The Fort Bliss army post in Texas is ill-equipped to handle a flood of refugees, the senator charged. “If 10,000 refugees arrive [to Fort Bliss], every one of those 10,000 can choose to leave tomorrow,” Cruz said.
“There’s no fence. There’s no gate,” he continued, saying Fort Bliss leadership told him one of the refugees simply dialed an Uber driver and rode off to El Paso.
The Texas senator denied he’s wholly against Afghan refugees entering the country, but said the management of the influx concerned him. “I agree with getting them out of harm’s way. I just think we ought to be getting them to a safe, neutral third country rather than making the United States vulnerable and when the vetting is haphazard,” he commented. “When it is done in an emergency rapid process that invites mistakes… it only takes a handful of suicide bombers to be included with the mass of refugees for us to face horrific terrorist attacks here at home.”…

Ted Cruz: Biden’s handlers ‘bringing tens of thousands of refugees into the US without thoroughly vetting them’
………..
Kudos to Ted Cruz for speaking out here!

Some of masses of Muslim refugees might be people who aren’t violent, be it jihadist violent or are crime violent , who might just just looking for a new start since Joe Biden ,through the Taliban totally ruined Afghanistan,
Nevertheless , with all the “tens of thousands ” of Muslim refugees coming to America some of then ,all the odds ere, are most probably are Muslims who are also dangerous jihadists, who after they get settled and orientated to American will start then scheming murderous ,they would hope mass murderous , and destructive jihad Islamic terror attacks in American cities and even towns .
In other words some of them will be human jihad time-bombs just waiting and really for the “right ” time to
explode. When people die in this country because of such Muslims terrorists attacks much ofthe blame for this will fault of Joe Biden .
That pseudo “President”will be mostly to blame because they would only be in America because he had them brought here since he opened to door for the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
A genuine United States President would well understand and know that one of the mains duties of an good US Chief Executive is to ensure the safety ,security and protection of Americas citizens.
That bogus “President” Biden obviously couldn’t care less about American lives , he must only be interested in harming America and her citizens. What a villain !

There has to be a pretty good chance that some of these Muslims from Afghanistan will turn out to be terrorists or disasters in some other way for the USA and all other countries that are letting them in. When will our countries ever learn? Cruz is giving a very good warning. On a program on Sky News last night, out here in Australia, Sharri Markson showed that footage of Joe Biden seemingly dozing off while in a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister.. Talk about embarrassing. I have a vague recollection of having seen some politician in Australia dozing off in an Australian parliament, but this footage of Biden was truly embarrassing. A man in such an important position who falls asleep during an important meeting. Good grief.
Eleanor says
You can guarantee there will be at least a couple of future “Ilhan Omar’s” amongst them, no doubt about it.
tim gallagher says
No doubt about it, Eleanor. Our western countries just never seem to learn. We are too nice, too generous, far too much into virtue signalling(that is what I suspect is behind all this generosity where our countries keep bringing in more of the Muslim invaders) despite all the obvious troubles that the Muslim enemy always causes in our countries. Our countries just keep making the same mistake over and over again. To my mind, it is very self destructive behaviour. Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries have it right. They won’t be taking in these Muslims from Afghanistan.
Rbla says
Those responsible for the lost war and America’s downward plunge include the Swamp which consists of DC lobbyists and related groups. The most important of these undermining our republic are the cheap labor lobby, the hate and replace America Democrats and the China lobby. Even more important is the Deep State; the sinister permanent bureaucracy. Then, of course, there were the Leftists and cultural Marxists dominating academia, media, and the Democrat party who have now turned into the even more fanatical ‘Wokeists’. And also their ideological counterparts on the “free market”, free trade right including self-seeking corporate elites and libertarian purists and their allies among the Bush Republicans and the RINOS.
Actually we owe one to senile Biden. The elite ordering us about has been totally exposed and all their credibility has been lost. The debacle in Afghanistan is out in the open, and among our European allies as well. So even the media coronaviruses can no longer cover it up or adequately spin it and are obliged to join in reporting some truth. From now on when any of our self-styled betters preaches or pontificates to us reply in one word “Afghanistan.’ We may actually have an opportunity to rid ourselves of them and take our country, much reduced as it is, back. Whenever any of the ‘elite’ appears ask them in light of the disaster they have inflicted on the republic why they supported the policies that led to 911 in the first place and remind all that they are the ones who lost the subsequent war.
Urgent things that must be done to save our Republic:
Moratorium on all immigration until we can clean up the mess. No amnesty; those illegally here must go.
Bring our manufacturing back from China as Trump began to do.
Defund our elite and Ivy League universities who are simply producing useless idiots to fill the ranks of the ‘elite’.

Evidently, Afghan refugees can be released into the general population, just like all the crossers at our southern border. What can possibly go wrong?
Speaking of which, it’s back to being very unnerving down here like it was the first week of June. The border crossers coming through here are the ones that are on the run.
Infidel says
Guess we just have to wait and see which place becomes the next San Bernardino or Orlando
Don McKellar says
Biden’s handlers ‘bringing tens of thousands of refugees into the US without thoroughly vetting them’
Meaning
Obama ‘bringing tens of thousands of refugees into the US without thoroughly vetting them’
Chrissie01 says
without “thorough vetting”…is a euphemism…
For Germany at least.
Not vetting is correct
