I’ve been reporting on the “refugee” issue facing Europe in the wake of that much ballyhooed revolution going on in the Arab world (recent posts are here and here). World Net Daily has suggested another problem to guard against and that is that terrorists getting into Europe pretending to be refugees could easily get a fake passport in some European country and just come on over to the US:
Tens of thousands of people from the North African Arab countries affected by demonstrations and revolts are migrating to the open borders of Europe, creating the threat that terrorists could hide among the migrants and infiltrate host nations, according to security analysts…
The potentially dramatic influx of refugees into countries of the European Union – which have no border restrictions – also is posing an increasing security concern for U.S. officials.
Many of the countries in Europe which will be receiving the refugees are under a visa waiver program with the United States. This means that potential terrorists posing as refugees could obtain false passports that will allow them to gain entry into the U.S. without a visa, thereby making it more difficult to have any record of their entry or whereabouts.
