Not just the IRGC, but others as well.
“The Biden Admin Just Made It Easier for Terrorists To Enter the United States,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, June 29, 2022:
The Biden administration altered federal law to make it easier for individuals who have worked with designated terrorist groups to legally enter the United States.
The State and Homeland Security Departments last week amended federal immigration laws to allow foreigners who provided “insignificant material support” to designated terror groups to receive “immigration benefits or other status,” according to the policy published in the Federal Register but not formally announced by the administration. Examples of individuals who would fall into the new category, according to the announcement, include individuals who provided “humanitarian assistance” or “routine commercial transactions” to terror groups.
The policy shift is fueling concerns that the Biden administration wants to make it easier for individuals who work with or for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the country’s paramilitary fighting force that has killed hundreds of Americans, to enter the country. Notice of the change came several days before the Biden administration and hardline Iranian government resumed talks aimed at securing a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear deal.
A State Department spokesman said the law was amended to help vulnerable Afghans, who might have inadvertently worked with terror groups, gain refuge in the United States following the Biden administration’s bungled withdrawal that left the Taliban in power. Lawmakers and former U.S. officials, however, say the new regulations are so broadly written that they would apply to organizations like al Qaeda and the IRGC. The policy change is also raising red flags as U.S. officials, including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, face credible death threats from Iran.
The rule does not specifically mention Afghanistan but is written to cover all U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations, such as the IRGC and al Qaeda, experts told the Free Beacon. The Taliban is not designated as a foreign terrorist organization, leaving lawmakers and former U.S. officials concerned the changes extend far beyond vulnerable Afghans and cover those tied to some of the globe’s most violent terror groups.
Gabriel Noronha, a State Department special adviser for Iran during the Trump administration, said that “the Biden administration is claiming this regulation is all about Afghanistan, but they didn’t even mention Afghanistan once in their action, and have made no serious attempt to limit the scope to the situation there.”
“Instead,” said Noronha, who is a fellow with the Jewish Institute for National Security of America think tank, “this looks like a massive watering down of our immigration restrictions against members of terrorist organizations.”
The State Department says the changes are limited to Afghanistan, but would not say why the country is not mentioned once in the new order….

Well, every mozlum….devout or not…is a member of a the greatest terror organization…reputed to have over a billion slaves to their fake ‘god.’
Making it easier for any of them to get into the country is an awful decision, and a terrible thing to do; so going a little further…what else can anyone expect from traitors to the innocent civilians who are dependent on the government to keep out riff-raff, and those who have already taken part…however “insignificant” in the support of terror? they are hurrying down the road to destruction and taking many with them.

IF there is ever erected a statue of Joe Biden, that pose of him pulling down his mask and holding up an ice cream cone is the one that should be enshrined in the Presidential Hall of Shame. May he stand there alone for all time.
Wellington says
Biden is even worse than someone you should “merely” despise. He is someone who long ago should have been dismissed from the political realm but hasn’t been.
Talk about the bane that is the professional politician. Biden fits the mold completely. This is a man, fifty years in politics, who never created any business, or did any good for that matter—and who has lied repeatedly, whether about where he finished in class standing in his undergraduate work and in law school, driving an 18 wheeler, being arrested in South Africa, certainly about the Second Amendment, et al.
This low-life couldn’t even run a Dairy Queen. He represents, par excellence, a parody of the professional politician—except it is now in real life and is having many deleterious consequences in voluminous amounts.
Biden is appalling. The 2020 election was stolen and one knows this or should know it (read Mollie Hemmingway’s “Rigged” and watch “2000 Mules” for just partial confirmation of this). America is descending fast-like under this miserable excuse for a man and for a President (the latter I never call him unless it is something like “faux-President”). And thanks again to all those who ACTUALLY voted for Biden, including RINOS like Kasich and Whitman, respectively former Governors of Ohio and New Jersey. Shame on all of you forever unless you completely repent of your stupidity and mindless hatred of Trump, who did more good for America than even Ronald Reagan did.
A la Lawrence of Arabia, no prisoners. Yes, never any exculpation of all those who voted for Biden minus complete repentance, which is necessary and with no shades of gray.

You forgot to mention he is also a pervert.

“…Trump, who did more good for America than even Ronald Reagan did.”
I don’t necessarily disagree but it’s a very close call, a different era – with different problems needing different solutions.
Regardless, certainly the two best Presidents in my lifetime.
And the despicable fraudulent Biden is dead last…

Biden’s handlers alter federal laws to make it easier for terrorists to enter the United States
………………………..
Just despicable.
Wellington says
I think, gravenimage, Biden holding an ice-cream cone, as he so regularly does, is the modern equivalent of Chamberlain coming back from Munich holding his umbrella.
Man never learns. Individuals do but man as a whole does not. Just look at the sorry-ass excuses for leaders in our era who are, among others, Biden, Xi, Putin, the current pontifex maximus, BoJo, Macron, Trudeau, et al.
Individual human beings can be sterling. Mankind as a whole remains pathetic. No wonder Mark Twain in his last years went from being bitter about mankind to feeling sorry about our species.

Breaking News: Roberts & Kavanaugh defect to deliver a huge defeat for ‘Remain in Mexico’!
Good luck avoiding the next 9/11, wherever it happens!
Wellington says
And just contemplate, Infidel, for a moment what either Roberts or Kavanaugh truly know about Islam.
The vast majority of Americans, including Supreme Court Justices, continue to remain in willful ignorance about Mo’s creed. Even Trump does, otherwise he would not have supporter the Muslim snake, Oz, in the Pennsylvania Republican primary.
Long way to go. Long way.
Walter Sieruk says
The reason that Joe Biden , backed up by his handlers, wants to alter Federal law to make it more easily for for violent and mass murder scheming jihadists to inter the United States is because Biden isa treacherous treasonous villain.
That impostor “president” and subversive fiend will ,in time , have the blood of many innocent Americans on this vile and wicked hands because he willing allowed dangerous jihadist enemies into the US.
James Lincoln says
Walter Sieruk says,
“That impostor “president” and subversive fiend will ,in time , have the blood of many innocent Americans on this vile and wicked hands”
He already does, Walter.
The 13 servicemembers killed in the Afghanistan terrorist attack, criminal illegals pouring over our border murdering, raping, drugging Americans, etc.
Walter Sieruk says
The job and duty any good government to ensure the safety and protection of is citizens.
Joe Biden by attempting to make it easily for vicious jihadist to enter America shows the Biden must have sinister intentions by trying to do away with what the US Government should to to protect her people.
Biden is ,truly, the personification epitome of complete and total evil.

Every one of the current leaders is same, bojo, macaroon, the little slimy guy in germany, justine trudy, the illegals entering every western state, seem to be encouraged to do so.
A pox on their ORGANS.
BTeboe says
I didn’t know that the President could change the law. Only congess can make laws, the President gets to enforce the law. This is the same kind of thing they just tried with the EPA and was struck down by SCOTUS. Alphabet agencies don’t get to interpret or add or take away things that have not been expressly allowed by congress. Expect more lawsuits.

I know two people who relocated to different sates. Nevada and Florida. You wouldn’t believe to hassle they are having getting drivers licensees there. Both states asked them to provide all sorts of documents even though they both have legitimate birth certificates and their families have been citizens of the USA for generations. One was asked to provide school records from elementary school. When she contacted the school the school said we don’t keep records from that far back. Plus, the school no longer existed and had been torn down. Another had to track down info through the catholic church where she was christened, the church no longer existed but fortunately her records had been transferred to another church and she was able to get a copy from them. Both of their legitimate original birth certificates were rejected. Both had to jump through all sorts of hoops. US citizens are treated as second class citizens.
Fortunately when I had to do the same thing my original birth certificate was accepted although so old and falling apart I keep it in a zip loc bag. Go figure.
Terrorists and illegals, welcome! natural born US citizens, not so much.
Check Burry says
Same in UK, we let them in with no ID info after crossing channel, yet put Ukrainians through all the many stages and form filling of Legal immigration or refugee status, they are it seems to me the deserving ones, who pose little or no threat to UK, which is not the case with the dingy folk.

The hardest part for me is my new driver license number. Back in the day when I was young you could get a motorcycle license before you could get a automobile driver license. Motorcycle 15 and a half. Auto 16. So I have had mine since 15 and a half. Homeland security (if you can call it that) is involved. But they already have a file on me due to my doing work in bio-labs containing biological warfare agents. They probably have a page in there noting that I should be watched because I like the US Constitution and the Founding fathers. I suspect that under the new rules I am considered an extremist due to harboring those horrible views.
Infidel says
Once on David Webb’s SiriusXM Patriot talk show, I heard a caller from California describe how one of his clients – a legal immigrant – had trouble getting her driver’s license. It took her several visits to the DMV, and it was always unsuccessful for one reason or another. Finally, one day she was desperate and called him again, and this time, he suggested that she tell them that she’s an illegal alien. Presto: the magic words worked, and she got her license that very day!
Wonder if other countries would welcome our citizens if they wanted to stay there permanently?
tgusa says
Good info Check Burry and Infidel.
We all understand military invasions and if these “migrants” were coming carrying weapons that is what this new invasion would be. However, in this modern crazy foolish world invaders have learned that coming in unarmed works. Guess where they learned that? I call it, humanitarian invasion. The left and the invaders have figured out that is the best way to accomplish their goal of wrecking western countries. Humanitarian invasions only work when there is a substantial number of dummies in respective countries and the left is full of those. It is a new kind of warfare that we haven’t seen before. Eventually those invaders will start picking up weapons and begin attacking the legitimate citizens. We have already seen that happening.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“The State and Homeland Security Departments last week amended federal immigration laws…”
I thought only a legislature (Congress) can amend laws, not an executive-branch agency
“according to the policy published in the Federal Register but not formally announced by the administration. … according to the announcement, …”
According to *what* announcement; nothing was formally announced.
