Conservative Review
reports that the US issued Permanent Residence Status to 2,230,658 Refugees
from Muslim countries from 2001 to 2018.
Don’t miss Conservative Review’s accounting of
legal immigrants from Muslim countries admitted to the US since 9/11, by
Ann Corcoran, 8/16/18.
Here’s a novel idea: What if we focused on our own borders, stopped self-destructing through our front-door immigration policies, busted up terror financing networks globally and domestically, and disrupted the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical networks operating here at home?
Daniel
Horowitz has penned an excellent (and frightening) analysis of who is being
admitted to the US through myriad legal programs (in addition to the usual
refugee numbers that we know are way down in recent months). Conservative Review (hat tip: Cathy): Aimless fighting in Afghanistan — while we bring Afghanistan
to our shores.
Whoever thought of the strategy of sending our troops to referee
Islamic civil wars on their soil while bringing their civil wars and terror
financing to our own shores was brilliantly dumb. But that is still the strategy of the West
in combatting jihad. The European countries are even worse than we are in
importing the Middle East, but we are not that far behind. Meanwhile, we
continue to put our boots on their ground and shoulder the burden of endless
wars that would not affect us if not for our immigration policies.
Unlike China, Russia, North Korea, and potentially Iran, nothing that
happens in these Sunni hellholes – from Somalia, Yemen, Niger, and Mali to
Syria and Afghanistan – can harm us … unless we bring them to our country, as
we did for years and are increasingly doing now. Yet our endless and aimless
missions, chasing our tails in their sand dunes at a cost of trillions of
dollars and thousands of precious U.S. lives, have depleted our resources and
our resolve to deal with those who truly pose a conventional threat to our
homeland, now or in the future.
One
year later, the Afghanistan surge is a failure….The miserable irony is that while nothing in Afghanistan can come close
to hurting us, as the Taliban has nowhere near the global reach of a group like
Hezbollah, we are bringing Afghans here at a record pace. Just in the first quarter of 2018, we
brought in 5,718. At that pace, 2018’s total number will dwarf the recent trend
of 12,000 per year. We’ve brought in over 86,000 Afghans since 9/11! In last
year’s defense authorization bill, Congress authorized another 3,500 special
immigrant visas, which grant refugee status to Afghan officials, despite a
SIGAR report showing that half of all the foreign personnel who have gone AWOL
in this country after being brought here for training were Afghans. Most are
still at large and unaccounted for.
The rise in immigration from Afghanistan reflects a broader trend of
importing the Middle East to our country. I counted the number of green
cards given out in 2017, the first year of Trump’s presidency, to nationals
from 47 majority-Muslim countries, and the total number was up to 167,000. The
pace for 2018, based on hard data from the first quarter, seems to be tracking
with that rate. This is still a very high level and only very slightly down
from Obama’s record year in 2016. Overall, we’ve admitted 2.2 million
immigrants from those countries from 2001 through March 31, 2018.

While the number of regular refugees is declining under the Trump
Administration, Afghan SIVs are treated as refugees and their numbers are
helping the refugee contractors stay afloat because the contractors (the
VOLAGs) are paid to place them as well.
