They claim the Trump Administration is intentionally slowing the arrival of refugees destined for your towns and cities by TOO MUCH security screening.
See my two previous posts this morning: Comey said (as recently as May 2017) that 300 refugees were being investigated for possible terror connections, here, and Trump’s FBI (Department of Justice) has instituted more rigorous screening, here.
But, the Open Borders Left is screaming bloody murder saying that the few refugee terrorists they know of don’t warrant extra screening measures being put in place primarily by the FBI.
Just a few we know of….circled is Uzbek Islamist and convicted terrorist who tried to kill a California prison warden in 2016. I will bet he isn’t even on the Leftists’ radar screen! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2018/08/18/uzbek-refugee-sentenced-to-additional-20-years-in-prison-for-attempted-murder/
If you didn’t see my first post this morning go here.
Then FBI Director Comey told the Senate last year that 300 refugees (about 200 of them Iraqis) were being investigated for possible connections to terrorists.
This is number two in a three part series today on how the Trump Administration has been beefing up vetting and thus slowing the flow of refugees in to the US.
FromReuters(remember I told you yesterdaythat the Pentagon is the new ally of the Open Borders Left):
Exclusive: Pentagon raises alarm about sharp drop in Iraqi refugees coming to U.S.
After a lead-in about Pentagon concerns, we learn this:
I’ve marveled from time to time lately about the changes I’m seeing with media coverage of the US Refugee Admissions Program.
Granted they are tiny changes so far, but at least some media outlets are looking more carefully at a program that NO ONE questioned eleven years ago when I first began writing RRW.
In 2007 any story about refugees was one that evoked warm feelings about the poor, downtrodden and grateful people that nice church folks were welcoming to America.
I called those stories “refugees see first snow stories.”
Omar Abdulsattar Ameen
Imagine my surprise today when I saw this editorial at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazetteabout the Iraqi refugee (alleged ISIS killer) being arrested in California.
Michael Patrick Leahy writing at Breitbartdid a thorough job of cataloging the chronology of lies told by alleged ISIS fighter turned Obama refugee—Omar Ameen.
From Breitbartyesterday (I saw it after I posted my short news item on the arrest, here)
And, btw, other news stories on the case only did a quick summary, while Leahy actually went to the court filings:
Iraqi Refugee, Alleged Islamic State Murderer, Arrested in California
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested an Iraqi refugee in Sacramento, California on Wednesday on the authority of an arrest warrant for the 2014 murder of an Iraqi police officer issued by an Iraqi judge on May 16.
Ameen has a scheduled hearing on Monday in his extradition case—watch the courts save his ass!
“Omar Ameen, 45, an Iraqi national, wanted on a murder charge in Iraq, appeared before a federal magistrate judge in Sacramento, California today in connection with proceedings to extradite him to face trial in Iraq.
Ameen settled in Sacramento as a purported refugee and attempted to gain legal status in the United States,” the Department of Justice said in a statement released late Wednesday.
Court documents alleged that Ameen, who entered the United States from Turkey in November 2014 through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, led a four truck ISIS caravan to Rahwah, Iraq where he murdered the police officer on June 22, 2014.
[….]
Court documents presented on Wednesday outline what appears to be a highly sophisticated ruse by Ameen, who along with many members of his family has been a member of ISIS and its predecessor Islamist terrorist organizations since at least 2004, to gain approval into the U.S. Refugee Admissions program by making a number of false statements, and then use his approved U.S. refugee status as a getaway mechanism after carrying out the 2014 murder of the Iraqi police officer.
Leahy then goes through a series of lies told by Ameen that should have raised red flags if he had ever received any “robust” vetting as the Obama Administration and the refugee industry had been insisting was the case.
As we have reported on many occasions, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees does the first cut on the supposed screening of refugees to America.
In or about April 2012, Ameen arrived in Turkey and began the process of applying for refugee status.
Ameen claimed on his Resettlement Registration Form before the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (“UNHCR”) that in 2010, his father, Abdulsattar Ameen Hussein, was killed due to his cooperation with the American military. . . In actuality, the death certificate for Abdulsattar Ameen (which Ameen did not submit with any of his applications) indicates he died from natural causes—a cerebral clot—on December 25, 2010.
That is just one example of the shoddy screening this alleged ISIS fighter received.
Apparently James Comey was right about one thing when he told Congress in 2017 that the FBI was investigating US refugees for ties to terrorism. 300 he said! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2017/05/09/comey-fbi-looking-at-2000-cases-of-us-links-to-foreign-terrorists-300-are-refugees/
Perhaps most astounding is Ameen’s time line.
He was granted refugee status on June 5, 2014 even as he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Iraq for other ISIS terror-related activities. He returned to Iraq on June 22, 2014 and allegedly killed the police officer. Did no one even know he had left Turkey?
Five months later he was resettled in Sacramento by the Obama Administration.
Expect the whole story to disappear from the media within days because it flies in the face of the major refugee industry talking point that refugees are thoroughly screened.
By the way, four resettlement contractors were operating in Sacramento in 2014: International Rescue Committee, Church World Service, US Conference of Catholic Bishops and the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. Wonder which one placed him.
One more thing…
Through the Obama years Turkey was one of the top countries processing refugees to the US, see here. Under President Trump, Turkey lost its significant role in sending us mostly Muslim refugees.
And, religious ‘hate’ crimes were most often against Jewish people, not Muslims.
The Salt Lake Tribune published an article over the weekend in which they seem to reach for statistics to show that so-called hate crimes (mostly racial) are on the rise in Utah and elsewhere.
Learn about the Hate Crime data collection at the FBI here: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/civil-rights/hate-crimes
One could easily conclude that yes, the ‘hate’ crimes were up a little in 2016 from the previous year, but about the same (or slightly lower) as Obama presided over in 2011.
Although they don’t say it, the implication is that Trump’s hateful rhetoric and followers are to blame for a trend.
We’ll wait for the 2017 data, since of course it was Obama (the peacemaker) presiding over the country for this data.
Here are the opening paragraphs of the Tribune article:
Incidents of hate crimes in Utah rose significantly for the first time in two years in 2016, and based on complaints and investigations this year, the local FBI believes those numbers will continue to rise.
Last year, local law enforcement reported 66 incidents to the FBI, ranking Utah No. 23 out of the 49reporting states and the District of Columbia, according to recently released 2016 hate crime statistics.
Those 66 incidents encompass 72 offenses, or individual crimes, reported in 2016. The most common was simple assault, with 22 instances, followed by vandalism at 18 and crimes against society — drug, gambling, prostitution, weapons violation or animal cruelty offenses — at 13.
Sounds like just flat out criminal activity to me! (Did you know they were counting hate crimes against animals in this data?)
When you read the article don’t miss the part about how as a state becomes more “diverse” the hate crime incidents rise.
When I checked the data, here, sure enough the states with the most ‘haters’ were California, New York, Ohio, Michigan and Massachusetts also among the most diverse states in America. Wyoming, arguably with the least diverse population, was the least hateful state with only 3 incidents in 2016.
So could we make a case that diversity does not make us stronger, but in fact causes more strife and stress in society?
Here is an interesting chart showing the national ‘hate’ crime stats. The reporter says hate crimes were rising for the last five years (through 2016). Yes, but she doesn’t mention the fact that they were slightly higher in 2011 than in 2016.
Here is an important takeaway: someone please tell CAIR Minnesota’s director Jaylani Hussein that in 2016 ‘hate’ crimes based on religion were more than twice as high against Jews than Muslims.
CAIR would have us think that all over America people were hating on Muslims. Gosh, who might be hating on all the Jewish people?
Jewish people were most likely to face the brunt of hate crimes targeting a person’s religion, with 684 reported incidents, about 54 percent of the total. Those incidents involved 862 victims, up nearly 18 percent from 2015 . Muslims were the target of 307 incidents….
Endnote: I was just thinking about that 2016 Lake Calhoun incident in Minnesota,remember this. Was it categorized, by the FBI, as a ‘hate’ crime by Somalis against white people? Heck it might fit in the racial category and the religious category!
If that blatant incident isn’t in the data base at the FBI then you can throw out anything the FBI says about ‘hate’ crimes.
See myUtah archive here. See that the likelihood of their hate crimes increasing is pretty good as they continue to diversify through refugee resettlement.
