Muslim Immigration Poses Serious National Security Threat

France, Belgium and now even liberal Denmark regret letting in so many immigrants from Muslim countries. Their swelling Islamic communities have become breeding grounds for terrorists. So why is the U.S. opening the floodgates to foreign Muslims?
The threat Muslim immigrants pose to homeland security was not addressed during the White House's three-day summit on terrorism.
Instead, Vice President Joe Biden assured Muslim groups gathered during one session that the "wave" of Muslim immigration is "not going to stop."
Wave? More like a tsunami.
Between 2010 and 2013, the Obama administration imported almost 300,000 new immigrants from Muslim nations — more immigrants than the U.S. let in from Central America and Mexico combined over that period.
This is a sea change in immigration flows, and it threatens national security.
Many of the recent Muslim immigrants are from terrorist hot spots like Iraq, where the Islamic State operates. From 2010-2013, Obama ushered in 41,094 Iraqi nationals from there.
Now the State Department says it will quadruple the number of refugees brought here from Syria, where IS is headquartered.
The U.S. will admit as many as 2,000 Syrian nationals by the end of fiscal year 2015, up from 525 since fiscal 2011.
Yes, the number of displaced people inside war-torn Syria and Iraq, an estimated 3 million refugees, rivals the most in Mideast history. But rolling out the welcome mat for them in the middle of a mushrooming war on Muslim terrorism is dangerously shortsighted.
Top U.S. counterterror officials say terrorists could easily slip into the country from Iraq and Syria, in spite of promised screening procedures for such refugees.
"It's clearly a population of concern," National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen testified this week.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul called the new policy "a federally sanctioned welcome party to potential terrorists."
That's no stretch. If just a fraction of the 300,000 new Muslim immigrants already here follow in the footsteps of the Franco-Algerian brothers who recently terrorized Paris, we could be facing chronic terror in our cities.
The main homeland threat from groups like IS comes through our immigration system. If they also use our loose policies as a vehicle for jihad and Islamization, we will face the same crisis as Eurabia.
The British press is reporting that IS has threatened to release a huge wave of migrants from Libya across the Mediterranean disguised as refugees to cause chaos in Europe.
Who's to say they aren't setting a similar immigration bomb for America?
Authorities can't even get a handle on homegrown IS jihadists who are already in America. Why would we risk adding so many potential jihadists from abroad to the already overloaded terrorist threat matrix?
The FBI director says he's got open cases against IS suspects in every state but Alaska. More than 100 American Muslims have hooked up with the vicious terror group in Syria or Iraq, and at least a dozen fighters already have returned to America and may be forming sleeper cells to attack the homeland.
These suspects are hard for agents, who already are overstretched, to monitor. They've discarded their Islamic beards and garb and have blended into society. Analysts suspect some may have even infiltrated the military and government.
While America ushers in Islamic immigrants, Europe is pulling up the welcome mat. In recent months, both France and Britain have proposed imposing curbs on immigration out of fear of importing more terrorists. The bills will likely pass in the wake of the Paris massacre.
Thanks to mass immigration from North Africa, France's Muslim population has swelled to 6.5 million, or 10% of its population. More than 1,000 French Muslims have joined IS. A recent poll found that 27% of French Muslims ages 18-24 support the Islamic State.
Growing pockets of radicalism are spreading in towns throughout France. There are "no-go" zones for non-Muslims and even local authorities, not just in Paris but all over the country.
Authorities say that they've lost control of the situation. Muslim attacks on police and synagogues are now regular events.
Similar problems are cropping up in Germany. After an influx of Syrian and other Muslim immigrants, a recent poll found that 40% of Germans say they don't feel at home in their own country thanks to "Islamization."
America will no doubt suffer the same nightmares if its Muslim population is allowed to reach a critical mass.
At current immigration rates, and barring a much-needed moratorium, our Muslim population will more than double over the next 15 years, hitting about 6.2 million in 2030, according to a recent Pew Research Center study — "in large part because of immigration and higher-than-average fertility among Muslims."
Fifteen years from now, Pew found, America will "have a larger number of Muslims than any European country" except for France and Russia.
If you think this huge influx of foreign Muslims will assimilate and adopt Western values, you haven't been to Alexandria, Va., or Dearborn, Mich., or Minneapolis recently.
They resemble little Cairos, with their Arabic store signage, halal butchers, hookah bars and even blaring calls to prayer from mosque minarets. Such cultural diversity might be quaint if not for the fact these heavily Muslim immigrant enclaves are also breeding grounds for terrorism. More people from Dearborn are on the federal terrorist watch list than from any other American city except New York.
Recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Brussels and Copenhagen by Muslims operating with support from those cities' swelling Muslim immigrant communities are an ugly reminder that Muslim immigration doesn't bring the kind of diversity once cherished in the West. It leads to violence and Islamization.
All this raises serious national security concerns. But the White House is too busy defending Islam and portraying the Muslim community as victims of "discrimination" to consider them.

Congress must get on this and pass a 10 year moratorium on all new immigration and do it now. With what we've learned about the "shadow" system to issue 7.4 million work permits to illegal aliens since 2009 in violation of US immigration law, with Obama Amnesty that would issue work permits to another 5 million illegal aliens including DACA in violation of US immigration law, with the announcement by Border Patrol that they aren't going to secure our borders but instead ignore a Judge's Order to stop all amnesty related activities, with the rise in admission requests from people from countries that are not on the best of terms with the US, with the revelation of Edison's firing American workers to replace them with H1B visa workers from India, and so much more, there is just no reason or excuse not to pass a 10 year moratorium on all new immigration and do it now.

They absolutely need to do that, Judy, but I would be surprised if they did. Their underlying agenda is to allow the US to become just another 3rd world country, and that means continuing to all everybody to come who wants to come. On the surface, it would appear that it's a PC thing, but underneath, that's just a cover.

You're right, imblest, but sometimes if we plant a seed of an idea, it gains its own momentum, and if enough people support it and the support is reflected by calls to our representatives and the media, then there's always a chance that the Republicans at least will do the right thing.

I pray you are right, Judy!

Me, too! I don't really see another option for the present situation. How can Congress continue to allow immigration when it can't control the Department that handles it? Sessions just discovered that DHS has issued 7.4 million work authorizations to 7.4 million illegal aliens without any authorization from Congress, in wide excess (double) of total immigration levels set by Congress, which were already way too high, and we've just learned that DHS is issuing work permits to spouses on a corrupt H1B visa limit which again exceeds the total immigration levels established by Congress. For a Department to exceed the legal immigration level by more than 2 times is just totally unacceptable and to do that with illegal aliens is even worse, because these people have already violated US immigration law and committed numerous other crimes during their illegal stays here. So until this Deparatment is cleaned out, cleaned up, fixed and reset, how can we possibly allow them to continue to process immigration requests? We can't, and the only apparent way to stop them is a 10 Year Moratorium on all new immigration of any kind. No more green cards, temporary work permits, deferred action, visas, or any permit of any kind, written or verbal to any illegal alien, visa holder, or new immigrant seeking to move to the US.

You can't fix the plumbing with the water on, so it's a simple law of the universe that to fix it, we have to shut it down.
