A Much-Abused U.S. Immigration Program

How Obama’s “compassion” includes letting in illegal aliens from Syria.

A couple of years ago I wrote an article about the scam foisted on Americans by political “leaders” who claimed that all that the United States needs to do to end illegal immigration, is to secure the border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico.

In that article, “The ‘Secure Our Border First Act’ Deception: Why it’s no solution to the immigration crisis” I noted that in the Longfellow poem, “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” that Paul Revere’s friend had it relatively easy to warn Paul Revere as to how the British would be coming.  In fact, with just three lanterns, Paul would be alerted if the British were coming by land or by sea.

Here is the paragraph from that poem that addresses the possibilities:

He said to his friend, — “If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry-arch
Of the North-Church-tower, as a signal-light, —
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm.”

In that article I listed ten ways for aliens to enter the United States either legally or illegally.  Indeed, if we were to seek to hang enough lanterns in a church to warn of all of the possibilities the local hardware store would likely not have enough lanterns to covers all of those possibilities.

Furthermore, lighting all of those lanterns simultaneously would likely cause the Old North Church to catch on fire.

Today we will consider TPS (Temporary Protected Status), one of the ways that illegal aliens are being granted lawful status and employment authorization.  That “protection” is now being provided by the administration to illegal aliens who claim to be citizens of Syria.

In spite of all of the concerns that have been voiced by FBI Director James Comey and key members of the FBI, CIA and other intelligence and law enforcement agencies, who have unequivocally stated that Syrian Refugees cannot be vetted, the administration continues to admit these aliens and promises to ramp up the number of Syrian refugees they will admit into the United States and settle them in communities that may well object to these actions out of reasonable fears that they pose a threat to community safety and national security.

Now the administration has announced that illegal aliens from Syrian will be granted TPS even though there may be no way to determine their true identities including their actual countries of citizenship or their true dates of entry.

This poses at least as great a threat to national security and public safety as does the refugee program for Syrians who cannot be vetted.  Illegal aliens, by their actions enter the United States without inspection, evading the inspections process conducted at ports of entry, altogether.

They aliens trespassed on the United States and often the information they provide is the only information we have about them.

Of course criminals, terrorists and fugitives are all honorable people who would never lie (NOT!)

As I concluded in my recent article, “Hillary Clinton’s Immigration Goals Would Irrevocably Undermine National Security:”

While the open borders anarchists blithely refer to these (illegal) aliens as being undocumented, they are un-inspected.

Think of it this way, you cannot tell a “good guy” from a “bad guy” without a scorecard.

“Undocumented” aliens have no scorecards!

Considering the broader issue of TPS, it is more than ironic that the term used to describe the way that illegal aliens are being granted lawful status involves protecting them– from our immigration laws that were enacted toprotect America and Americans.

The State Department website provides a list of all of the 22 countries whose citizens are eligible to file for TPS.  That list includes countries that are associated with terrorism including Lebanon, Kuwait, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen as well as the just-added country of Syria.

Aliens from these problematic countries should have to undergo careful scrutiny.  Such essential scrutiny is not a component of the TPS process and therefore this poses a direct threat to national security.

In the days, weeks and months after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 our leaders constantly warned us that to succeed the terrorists only had to get it “right” once. To protect America and Americans from the next terror attack we need to get it “right” 100% of the time.

Once again the issue of national security must be raised.  In the days, weeks and months after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 our leaders constantly warned us that to succeed the terrorists only had to get it “right” once.  To protect America and Americans from the next terror attack we need to get it “right” 100% of the time.

Every alien who is admitted into the United States provides the terrorists with that opportunity of getting it “right” and creates the possibility of our government making that truly deadly mistake by getting it wrong.

There have been a succession of terror attacks since 9/11.  Thankfully most of those attacks failed.  However, innocent people were killed in several deadly attacks where the terrorists, aliens who gamed the immigration system, got it “right.”
