Keep Her Out

A woman from Alabama left the country six years ago and went to Syria to join ISIS.  While there, she married twice to ISIS fighters, was widowed twice and gave birth to a child.  She also posted on social media advocating violence against the USA and Americans.  Now that ISIS is defeated, she says that she made a mistake and wants to come home.  Today the State Department announced that she would not be allowed back into the USA since she has no right to US citizenship and no basis for re-entry, particularly as a supporter of ISIS.  The State Department acted on the advice of the lawyers who looked at the applicable laws regarding this sort of situation.  The reasoning of the lawyers has not been made public.

So what is the predictable reaction in the media?  It's not hard to figure out.  Since this is the Trump State Department, the media is opposed to the conclusion reached by that department.  Reporters with less legal knowledge than a cockroach are busy reporting their opinions that the reasoning used by the State Department was flawed.  That's pretty amazing since they don't know what reasoning was used at State.  It doesn't matter.  The media is in full support of this terrorist woman now because in that way they can oppose Trump.

The reality is that there is no valid reason to bring a terrorist back into the USA.  She made her choice.  By fighting with ISIS she renounced her US citizenship.  Now, she should make a happy life for herself and her child in Syria or some other lovely spot.
