Some Things Worth Remembering about Refugees and Terrorists

Donald Trump has been taking heavy fire from president Obama and Hillary Clinton over Trump's proposal for a temporary stop in Moslem immigration until such time as the USA can figure out accurately to check the background of those seeking admission.  Obama and Hillary call Trump's move one of "hatred" and "un-American".

Trump often points out that American security cannot get the needed information to determine if people claiming to be refugees from Syria or Iraq or elsewhere in the Moslem world are actually what they claim to be.  After all, ISIS has announced that it is sending jihadi terrorists to the West as part of the streams of refugees.  At least one of the leaders of the Paris attacks was such a phony refugee.  The San Bernardino killers included a woman who was admitted from Pakistan as a supposed fiancĂ© of an American; she got an expedited and cursory review that did not uncover that she was a terrorist.

Obama and Hillary now denounce Trump, but it's worth going back to the days when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State under Obama to look at what they did.  In 2011, the State Department stopped processing refugees from Iraq seeking asylum in the USA.  Remember, these refugees in 2011 were people who had assisted American forces in Iraq during the Iraq War and who now sought to live in the USA away from the danger of reprisals from the remaining jihadists.  The Iraqi refugees in 2011 were out friends.  Then, the FBI discovered that there were two terrorists living in Bowling Green, Kentucky who had been admitted to the USA as Iraqi refugees.  Hillary's State Department did its usual incompetent job and let these known terrorists into the country.  When the terrorists were discovered, Hillary Clinton and Obama immediately put a stop to the admittance of all, ALL refugees from Iraq.  For more than half a year, not a single Iraqi refugee was admitted.  So was that halt in admission of refugees an example of hatred by Clinton and Obama?  If Trump's proposal is "hatred", then Clinton and Obama's ACTION was surely hatred.  Was the action by Obama and Clinton un-American?  If Trump's proposal is un-American, then the refugee cut off by Obama and Clinton was surely un-American.

The truth is that Hillary Clinton and Obama will say or do anything without regard to the truth or even common sense.  If there is a possibility that America is admitting terrorists posing as refugees, then the only sensible course of action is to stop until the problem can be remedied.  Clinton and Obama know this; it is what they did in 2011.  Now, in 2016, they are threatening the safety of thousands of Americans just so that they can try to gain some political advantage through telling lies.

Immigration Policy #1 Vetted background checks #2 Temporary asylum or immigration with a 2-3 year probationary period while under surveillance of Immigration/Homeland security agents.
#3 Continued surveillance for up to 10 years.
These are simple thoughts, I am sure our military could write the best plan for Immigration Protection for OUR Citizens!!!
