If it makes you feel better, I'll train my green laser on your sorry ass.

My guess is that he would feel better with any kind of train on his sorry ass.

RICH LOWRY ON WIDESPREAD IGNORANCE AND HYPOCRISY ABOUT IMMIGRATION:

 

Still, the braying about the First Amendment from the Left is rich. The implicit position of Trump’s progressive critics is that the First Amendment doesn’t protect all political speech, or cover people with religious objections to gay marriage, or prevent the Obama administration from forcing nuns to sign up for contraception coverage, but it extends to foreigners hoping to gain entry into the United States.

The embedded assumption is that migrating here is some sort of global civil right.

 

 

 

It’s not.

ABC: US deliberately ignoring social-media posts in visa vetting

 

Want to guess why five government agencies missed Tashfeen Malik’s social-media postings that declared her intent to conduct violent jihad on behalf of radical Islam? It turns out that they didn’t miss it at all. The Department of Homeland Security has a deliberate policy of not checking social media when vetting visa applications, ABC News reported this morning.

 

Want to guess why that policy exists? Again, three guesses and the first two don’t count:

 

Fear

ing a

civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations” for the Obama administration, H

omeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end a secret U.S. policy that prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of all foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas, a former senior department official said.

“During that time period immigration officials were not allowed to use or review social media as part of the screening process,” John Cohen, a former acting under-secretary at DHS for intelligence and analysis. Cohen is now a national security consultant for ABC News.

One current and one former senior counter-terrorism official confirmed Cohen’s account about the refusal of DHS to change its policy about the public social media posts of all foreign applicants.

 

 

While ABC names Johnson as the man who perpetuated this policy, it didn’t start with him, and Malik came in before this decision. The policy in place at that time would have been set by Janet Napolitano, who should not escape scrutiny for this nonsensical approach to national security. This failure might come as a big surprise to Congress, members of which have already begun to ask to expand vetting to social media after the terror attack in San Bernardino:

 

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., demanded Sunday that the U.S. immediately initiate a program that would check the social media sites of those admitted on visas.”

“Had they checked out Tashfeen Malik,” the senator said, “maybe those people in San Bernardino would be alive.”

 

 

 

Maybe so, but then DHS might have experienced “bad public relations.” When people say that political correctness kills, this is exactly the kind of consequence they mean.

 

This demonstrates a shocking lack of seriousness about the war on terror by the Obama administration, albeit part of an overall pattern. They are literally more concerned about public relations than security in the visa application process, according to ABC’s report.

 

It comes as Barack Obama and the Democrats have attempted to change the subject to gun control in the wake of the San Bernardino attack, and to climate change when it comes to the spread of ISIS. This administration clearly has its own priorities, and getting serious about national security ranks lower than their need to engage in political correctness.

THE COUNTRY’S IN THE VERY BEST OF HANDS:

 

U.S. lets in four times as many suspected terrorists as it keeps out.

 

“An examination of State Department records by American Enterprise Institute researcher Justin Lang found that since 2001, the State Department had denied visas to just 2,231 individuals because the applicant was suspected of terrorist ties or activity. Yet during that same period, the State Department granted U.S. visas to 9,500 people who it later figured out posed a terrorist threat — and had to go back and retroactively revoke those individuals’ visas.”

Half a Million Visa Overstays – in Just One Year

For some time now, Congress has been demanding a report on the number of foreign visitors who overstay their visas and thereby become illegal aliens. This matters because an estimated 40 percent of the illegal population is made up of overstays rather than border-infiltrators. (And it’s estimated that up to 60 percent of new illegal aliens are overstays.)

The Obama administration has long suppressed this information, for transparently political reasons. But Congress showed evidence of at least one vertebra when it included in last month’s omnibus spending bill a cutoff of $13 million in funds to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson’s office if an overstay report was not issued by January 19.

The report was released yesterday. http://www.cis.org/sites/cis.org/files/16-0029%20FY%2015%20CBP%20Entry%20and%20Exit%20Overstay%20Report%20FINAL%2001.19.16.pdf

It shows that nearly half a million foreign visitors who were supposed to return home last year had failed to do so by the end of the year. And the report looked only at a subset of the problem: arrivals by air and sea of people with B1/B2 visas (tourists and business travelers), Visa Waiver visitors (generally from developed countries), and those who flew or came by sea from Canada or Mexico. Not examined were the three-quarters of lawful entries by foreigners that happen at the land borders, as well as people coming with other types of visas, such as for students or guestworkers, that are known to also have significant overstay rates.

As my colleague Jessica Vaughan points out, the report understates the rate of visa overstays by counting the number of entries by foreigners rather than the number of individual foreigners arriving.

(Oh, and 12,000 of the overstays last year came from countries associated with terrorism. But I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about.)

Obama Tells Border Agents To Stand Down

 

On Thursday, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, informed the immigration subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents have been told to release illegal immigrants and eschew ordering them to appear at deportation hearing.

 

Judd stated, "We might as well abolish our immigration laws altogether," adding that the reason the Obama Administration changed the policy out of "embarrassment" that only roughly half of illegals ordered to appear in court follow through.

 

He continued, "The willful failure to show up for court appearances by persons that were arrested and released by the Border Patrol has become an extreme embarrassment for the Department of Homeland Security. It has been so embarrassing that DHS and the U.S. attorney's office has come up with a new policy,"

 

Judd explained that the order given agents "makes mandatory the release, without an NTA, of any person arrested by the Border Patrol for being in the country illegally, as long as they do not have a previous felony arrest conviction and as long as they claim to have been continuously in the United States since January of 2014. The operative word in this policy is 'claim.' The policy does not require the person to prove they have been here which is the same burden placed on them during deportation proceedings. Instead, it simply requires them to claim to have been here since January of 2014." He added that border agents refer to the Notices to Appear as "notices to disappear."

 

{snip}

 

Jessica M. Vaughan, the policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies, warned the subcommittee "the tide of new young people, many of whom have already been exposed or involved in street gangs at home, has provided a huge pool of new recruits for the gangs here. Gangs such as MS-13 and 18th Street are enjoying a brutal revival in certain parts of the country and are establishing themselves in new places."

Justice Department promises crackdown on sanctuary cities http://bit.ly/1mXPrNh

 

 

 

There's two ways this works:

1) Someone takes it to federal court, where the Ninth Circuit decides that the Justice Department's crackdown is unconstitutional. The Ninth Circuit's decision stands, because the Supremes are split 4-4 on their decision. Or,

2) Obama gets his Supreme Court Justice nominee on the bench, and they uphold the Ninth Circuit's decision 5-4.

 

In other words, empty bloviating by the Justice department.
