Obama Grants Visas to Accused Hezbollah Terrorist

It may seem hard to imagine, but next week Azmi Bishara will be in Washington to speak at a forum organized by an Arab group.  Bishara is a terrorist wanted by Israel for helping Hezbollah launch a terror wave in the Jewish state about ten years ago.  He has been living in Qatar for the last decade, but he remains subject to arrest in Israel for terrorist activities.

In order for Bishara to get into the USA, he must have a visa issued by the State Department.  That means that Bishara applied for a visa and was granted one.  How can anyone trust the vetting done by the State Department when a wanted terrorist is allowed into the country?

For the last year, there has been a dispute between Trump who wants to use "extreme vetting" for anyone coming from countries where terrorism is active and Hillary Clinton who wants to let hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees into the country even though there is no way to check out if the refugees are actually terrorists.  Hillary keeps saying that there is a way to make certain no terrorists get in.  Given that the State Department is currently issuing visas to people wanted for terrorism, Hillary's claims are obviously false.

America needs to arrest Bishara if he comes into the country and turn him over to the Israelis.  We also need to stop allowing unvetted people into the USA.

One last thought:  many people say that the admission of Bishara is the result of the Iranian deal.  Obama does not want to deny entrance to an agent of Iran's terrorist ally, Hezbollah.  If the decision to grant a visa to Bishara was intentional, then America has moved beyond being careless and has gone all the way to being stupid.
