There
are more Iraqis living in the United States than there are in some major cities
in Iraq. 156,000 Iraqi refugees have entered this country in just the last
decade. 30,000 of those have ended up in California.
In
Obama’s first year in office, the United States resettled three-quarters of
Iraqi refugees. 71% of Iraqi refugees are receiving cash assistance. 82% are on
Medicaid and 87% are on food stamps. Compare those atrocious numbers to only
17% of Cubans on cash assistance and 16% on Medicaid.
It
should be obvious why Obama shut the door on Cuban refugees while holding it
wide open for Syrian Muslims (but closing it tightly on Syrian Christians),
Iraqis and Somalis (77.4% food stamp use).
President
Trump’s migration pause was met with lectures about how much immigrants
contribute to the economy. But the immigrants that the left likes are a drain.
If the left finds immigrants who actually contribute to the economy, it fights
tooth and nail to keep them out of the country. Notable Iraqi refugees include
Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi.
Alwan
and Hammadi were thoroughly vetted before they were resettled in Nevada and
Kentucky. The only omission in their thorough vetting was an unfortunate
failure to note that the refugees were terrorists who had spent years trying to
kill American soldiers in Iraq.
Alwan
had boasted that of how he had “f___d up” Hummers using IEDs and admitted to
having taken part in an attack that killed Americans. He had even left his
fingerprints on an IED in Iraq. But the thorough vetting had failed to turn
that up.
Alwan
and Hammadi tried to send grenade launchers, plastic explosives, missiles and
machine guns to the branch of Al Qaeda that would become ISIS. Meanwhile the Al
Qaeda in Iraq plotter had quit his job and was living in public housing and
collecting public assistance. Like so many other “refugees”. And law
enforcement was soon on the trail of dozens of terrorists who had arrived here
as refugees.
The
media has had a field day mocking Kellyanne Conway for referencing the fact
that this Iraqi refugee terror plot resulted in a six month Iraqi immigration
pause under Obama. No “Bowling Green Massacre” took place because the FBI was
on to the two terrorists. Hammadi had been caught on tape discussing a domestic
terror attack where “many things should take place and it should be huge.” Mocking
Conway for misspeaking helpfully distracts attention from the massacre that
nearly was. And Alwan and Hammadi were far from the last Iraqi refugee
terrorists.
Omar
Faraj Saeed Al Hardan came here as a refugee. When the FBI searched his Houston
apartment, agents found an ISIS flag. Hardan had been planning to leave bombs
in the trash cans of two Houston malls. He had also been contemplating an
attack on the Grand Prairie military base in Texas.
Hardan
had been chatting with Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, another Iraqi refugee,
over in California. Al-Jayab had come as a refugee through Syria, then began
plotting to join a terrorist group on his first month here. He headed back to
spend some time fighting with Islamic terrorists who later were linked to ISIS.
Two of his brothers and a cousin were also arrested for smuggling stolen cell
phones.
Al-Hamzah
Mohammad Jawad, an Iraqi refugee from Michigan, was arrested while trying to
join ISIS. Abdullatif Ali Aldosary set off a bomb outside a Social Security
office in Arizona. The authorities found plenty of bombmaking materials in his
home. He was also accused of a murder that had taken place a few days before
the bombing and had previously been sent to jail for harassment. His case had
been put on hold for “terrorism-related grounds of inadmissibility”, but he
still couldn’t be deported.
And
then there are the Special Immigrant Visas for Iraqi nationals who provided
services to American forces. During the recent controversy, they have been
depicted as heroes who helped us fight terrorism.
The
reality is a lot more complicated. Bilal Abood was a translator who came here
on an SIV visa. He even briefly joined the army. On the surface he was exactly
the sort of refugee that the media likes to depict as the ideal immigrant. But
Abood was also a member of ISIS. America was the “enemy of Allah”, he insisted.
Even
when the Iraqi SIVs weren’t joining ISIS, they were doing other terrible
things. Jasim Mohammed Hasin Ramadon and Ali Mohammed Hasan Al Juboori had come
to this country with SIV visas.
Ramadon
had even been dubbed a hero. Then Ramadon, Juboori and three other Iraqi
refugees brutally assaulted a 53-year-old Colorado Springs woman. When the
police arrived at the scene of the Iraqi refugee sexual assault, they found
blood splattered on the walls.
The
Iraqi refugee rapists lured in their victim by complaining about how hard it
was living in America and being called terrorists. The night nurse took pity on
them because they reminded her of her son. By the time the Iraqi refugees were
done, she had been violated and left near death.
Ahmed
Bahjat came here as a refugee from Iraq. He tried to leave by taking a plane to
Canada after he “viciously sexually assaulted” a woman in Connecticut. Salam Al
Haideri also came here as a refugee. He raped a 4’11 teenager behind a “I Love
NY” pizza place dumpster while slamming her head into the ground. The Iraqi
refugee’s teenage 96-pound victim was left with broken ribs and a fractured
nose. Al Haideri was the third refugee to be convicted of a sex crime in the
area.
Walid
Nehma, another Iraqi refugee, also assaulted a woman in Albany County. After
taking photos of women in local bars, he followed her, hit her in the face,
tore off her clothes and tried to rape her.
Khalid
Fathey had also received asylum after working with American authorities in
Iraq. The Iraqi refugee molested a little girl and warned her not to tell
anyone. He fled trial by taking a flight to Dubai.
Kassim
Alhimidi, an Iraqi refugee, murdered his wife in California and tried to blame
it on American “Islamophobes.” Wisam Fadhil, an Iraqi refugee, stabbed his wife
to death in Kentucky while their 8-year-old child slept in the room. He had
previously assaulted a man at a gym. Do we need more of this?
Iraq
is a failed state. Before we intervened, it was held together by torture,
terror and genocide. Now the only things holding it together are torture,
terror and genocide. We should take Christian refugees fleeing the Muslim
conflicts in that country, but we should not import its Islamic culture of
violence.
America
has done far more than its share. We have opened our doors to Iraqi refugees.
And in return, the people of this land were exposed to terror and horrific
refugee crimes. Enough is enough.
There
is a very rational solution to our immigration problem. Instead of taking in
the refugees most likely to collect welfare or plant a bomb in a shopping mall,
we should take those immigrants most likely to contribute to our economy and
least likely to behead us while screaming, “Allah Akbar.”
Don’t
call it a ban. Call it common sense immigration reform. Because that is exactly
what it is. We have the statistics. We know what works. All we need to do is
start putting America first.
