My latest in PJ Media:
The family of Malik Faisal Akram, the Islamic jihadi from Britain who took hostages in Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, Saturday, has “demanded to know how he was allowed into America despite a long criminal record,” says the UK’s Daily Mail. More than just his family should be asking this question. How was this man able to storm a synagogue in Texas and take people hostage at gunpoint when he shouldn’t have been allowed into the United States in the first place? If anything shows how broken our immigration system is under the regime of Biden’s handlers, it is this entire episode.
Malik Faisal Akram’s brother Gulbar asked: “He’s known to police. Got a criminal record. How was he allowed to get a visa and acquire a gun?” Yeah. U.S. immigration law states that “any alien convicted of 2 or more offenses (other than purely political offenses), regardless of whether the conviction was in a single trial or whether the offenses arose from a single scheme of misconduct and regardless of whether the offenses involved moral turpitude, for which the aggregate sentences to confinement were 5 years or more is inadmissible” to the United States.
It has not been revealed how many convictions Malik Faisal Akram has, but presumably a “long criminal record” involves more than two. Does Akram’s “long criminal record” involve no convictions, or only one? Or did he get admitted to the United States by some official who was skirting the law? Is Old Joe Biden’s immigration system so broken at this point that essentially anyone, anyone at all, no matter what kind of criminal record he has, can get into the country?
In light of what he did when he got here, Americans need an answer to those questions, but it is not likely that any will be forthcoming and the Leftist establishment media sycophants certainly cannot be counted on to ask any administration officials any probing questions.
Old Joe Biden offered a vague and partial explanation of how Akram got the gun but said nothing about how he was allowed to enter the country in the first place: “I don’t have all the facts and neither does the attorney general, but allegedly the assertion was he got the weapons on the street, that he purchased them when he landed. And it turns out there were apparently no bombs that we know of, even though he said that there were bombs there as well. He apparently spent the first night in a homeless shelter — I don’t have all the details, so I’m reluctant to go into much more detail, but allegedly he purchased it on the street. What that means, I don’t know if he purchased it from an individual in the homeless shelter or a homeless community.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Q: “Why was he allowed in the country?” A: Because we don’t have a country anymore.
Holger Kruger says
NOW HE NOT MAKE MORE CRIME!!
TomD says
“How was he allowed to…acquire a gun?”
Well, he didn’t get it from a licensed gun dealer. He wasn’t a resident alien. He was ineligible.
No, he got the gun in a private transaction in Texas. With whom?

biden is here blaming the “homeless” and the “homeless community.”
the homeless are now the target…not criminal mozlums.
Keith O says
He has to find someone to blame, other than his own failings.
If this had happened under the previous administration the leftist press would be bellowing like gutted cattle about the homeless now being white supremacists.
somehistory says
I can foresee them clamoring for the closing of homeless shelters, just as they did for closing the places those with mental health issues so bad they needed to be locked up, were housed, what seems like a century ago, now.
Of course in SF, the homeless live on the streets, so they’ll have a problem with closing those “shelters.”
biden is unaware that every finger he points at others, is shadowed by the fingers pointing back at him.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
The mass closure of state mental hospitals in the United States, starting in the mid-1950s, was due to:
1. The advent and popularity of psychotropic medications.
2. The patient rights movement.
3. National transition towards community-based mental health care.
In reality, these initiatives have largely failed.
Psychotropic medications (particularly antipsychotics) can be very helpful in the outpatient setting – as long as the patient is taking the medication correctly – but the community-based mental health care model has been largely ineffective in order to make this, as well as quality counseling, happen.
The end result is homeless people – ironically with “patients’ rights” – living on the street – at risk to themselves and others.

Thank you, James, for the confirmation.

“He was put on a list of Subjects of Interests ny MI5, The Telegraph reported, citing an unnamed government source, but the spy agency concluded that he did not “pass the threshold” for a full-blown investigation.”

“Reports: Texas Synagogue Gunman Was Known to British Intelligence”
““There were no grounds for further examination and no basis to prevent him traveling,” The Telegraph’s source said.”
copy and paste….typos are not my own. But so much for U.K. “intelligence” when it comes to mozlums and their terror intentions.
john smith says
How the hell this man got a visa to enter the US is beyond me. He had a criminal record, he was well known to MI 5. They would of soon stopped him if he was going off to join isis.
David M says
Novak Djokovic won’t be allowed to come into the country to compete in the US open because he has not taken the failed vaccines, but they told this dangerous criminal to come right in. Well done old Joe, you’ve done it again.
Infidel says
The US Open won’t be until August, but I fear that the precedent set in Melbourne will repeat in Paris, Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows this year. Novak is probably better off sitting it out, or not going until he’s cleared by both the tennis associations and governments
OLD GUY says
When you no longer enforce your laws or follow our constitution you no longer have a free country. Lets follow our laws and close the loop holes that allow criminals including the elite’s to be prosecuted for their criminal activities. Criminal activities by elected and federal/state leaders and employees must be prosecuted in order to set the example of living within the laws. We need a review process of prosecutors that fail to prosecute political and the wealthy for crimes they commit.
