If you’re the kind of American who worries about refugeehadists coming to threaten you and your family, Jason Chaffetz conversation with DHS and State officials should shock you:
In case you missed it yesterday, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing about the vetting process for refugees entering the United States from terrorism hot spots.
During the hearing, officials from the State Department and Homeland Security were asked about the location of 9,500 individuals who have been stripped of their U.S. visas because of links to terrorism. They had no idea and could not say if these individuals were still in the U.S.
“The Department [State] has revoked approximately 122,000 visas for a variety of reasons including nearly 9500 with links to terrorism. Of the 122,000 revoked visas, how many of those people are still in the United States?” Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz asked Department of State Assistant Secretary Michele Bond.
“I don’t know,” she responded.
“Homeland Security, how many revoked visas are still in the United States of America,” Chaffetz asked DHS Assistant Secretary for International Affairs Alan Bersin.
“Mr. Chairman, I don’t have that,” he responded.
Once again, it seems that government is failing in its primary duty- to protect our borders and right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you were thinking about buying a gun, perhaps now’s the time.
