Shortly after ISIS’ horrifically deadly attack throughout Paris a month ago, Obama responded to concerns about terrorists exploiting refugee and immigration paths to entry to the U.S. In an odd press conference in the immediate aftermath of Paris, the president sounded detached and disinterested, except when he mocked Republicans for expressing such concern. Later, in the Philippines, he revised and extended those remarks. Here’s a sample:

Speaking to reporters Wednesday morning in the Philippines, Obama scoffed at attempts to block refugees following the Paris terror attacks as “political posturing” that “needs to stop.” “Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said of Republicans. “At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of three year old orphans. That doesn’t seem so tough to me.”

Whenever he talked about Paris — an attack, which investigators suspect, saw some terrorists exploit refugee systems in Europe — Obama seemed more passionate about making fun of Republicans who worried about terrorists exploiting refugee systems. He kept making the point that women and children are nothing to fear. It’s of course true that most Islamist terrorists are male. But women can also commit acts of terrorism, as was the case in San Bernardino when Malik and her husband killed and injured so many innocent Americans. Obama quickly dropped the taunts about fearing women, but no media called him on it.
We Vet Immigrants Well

Another claim made repeatedly by the Obama administration was that people were stupid idiots to be worried about terrorists exploiting entry pathways to the country on account of how good our vetting is. When the Republicans in Congress worked on a bill to improve the process of vetting refugees from Syria, the White House issued yet another — yet another! — veto threat. The statement began:

The Administration’s highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of the American people. That is why refugees of all nationalities, including Syrians and Iraqis, considered for admission to the United States undergo the most rigorous and thorough security screening of anyone admitted into the United States…. The current screening process involves multiple Federal intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies, including the National Counterterrorism Center, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), State, and Defense, all aimed at ensuring that those admitted do not pose a threat to our country.

And so on and so forth. Media coverage — which included numerous stories trying to guilt critics by making Biblically questionable comparisons with the Holy Family — strongly suggested that skeptics were evil. Either way, if poor, vulnerable refugees are vetted this much, surely we must be vetting regular immigrants even more, right? Bad news.

One of the San Bernardino murderers came into the country on a fiancé visa. Her tough application included questions such as, and I’m not joking:

“Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization?”

“Have you ever ordered, incited, committed, assisted or otherwise participated in genocide?”

“Have you ever committed, ordered, incited, assisted or otherwise participated in torture?”

I mean, what answers do they think they’re going to get? The New York Times further reports that the murderer was openly calling for violence against the U.S., but we totally missed it because of how bad our vetting is:

WASHINGTON — Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband carried out the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., passed three background checks by American immigration officials as she moved to the United States from Pakistan. None uncovered what Ms. Malik had made little effort to hide — that she talked openly on social media about her views on violent jihad. She said she supported it. And she said she wanted to be a part of it… Had the authorities found the posts years ago, they might have kept her out of the country. But immigration officials do not routinely review social media as part of their background checks, and there is a debate inside the Department of Homeland Security over whether it is even appropriate to do so.

ABC News also reported that a “Secret US Policy Blocks Agents From Looking at Social Media of Visa Applicants, Former Official Says.” Remember how much crap we gave President Bush for his “heckuva job, Brownie” comments in the aftermath of Katrina? Well, heckuva job everyone responsible for vetting new Americans. You couldn’t be doing better. A++ work.

But back to Obama. He issued a veto threat after claiming we couldn’t do any better at screening people. Turns out we’re asking them to volunteer information about how bad they are and respecting the “privacy” of their public comments calling for violent jihad. And yet, the media undoubtedly spent 200 times more time talking about whatever a certain floppy-haired presidential candidate muttered than this. Seriously, we saw the media make fun of Trump’s claim that he’d screen Muslim visitors by simply asking them whether they were Muslim. And rightly so, because that’s a plan that makes no sense. It’s also exactly what we were doing to screen out threats — asking people to tell us whether they were one — but the breathless and concerned coverage about the policies of an actual administration currently in power seems notably lacking.

I think every person in the United States should take a lie detector test to see if they are a terrorist. I believe most repubs would fail the test. We could then put them on a remote island and give them the tools to make fire, nothing else. This is the donalds thinking, it must be right. LOL

I would go with that. Because, after ten years, America would be desolate, with no one to care for it. America would have zero population and the conservatives could then move back and have a GREAT AMERICA AGAIN. After all, everyone knows that the left is dependent on the right for it's existence, but the right is weakened by the lefty leaches. So, conservatives would flourish and the lefties would wither and die off, without assistance. Yep, works for me. Make America Great again Do it.

Just cut off welfare and let them die off here. It'll stink for a bit, but in the end...it'll stink less. We don't need to move, we just need to quit feeding them.

You don't wonk in the garden, you don't eat.

This makes you happy ?

HOW LONG do you let it go on? We've already got 52% takers who are negative producers. Do you LET it go until collapse? Or do you say...we tried, enough is enough, you're on your own. I'm sorry, we can't afford it any more and we have to look out for OURSELVES for now on. You had your chance, what did you do with it? You squandered it.

It doesn't make me happy. But EVERY year you delay doing something, the inevitable pile grows larger. Would a huge pile make you happy? That's what you're going to get.

THEY are becoming the majority...THEY are slowly destroying this country. Our stats go DOWN every year because of THEM.

Yes, it's "racist", but for a reason. A very good reason.

You can't deny that everywhere minorities are in large percentages...the place SUCKS. Everywhere. Name ONE that doesn't. And you want to bring them HERE? My God, why?

Globalization is the driving force and attempting to isolate ourselves from the world can only make our situation worse.
No man is a country (Trump) and no country can survive on it's own.

So you play the three monkeys? Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil? You IGNORE that your nation, your culture, your civilization is collapsing because the poor minorities are breeding us out? Just let the inevitable happen? Really? What a sad fatalist...is this what they've done to men?

It's evolution. I'm sure "men" have felt the same way about the world changing around them since ancient times. Are their really any Celts or Francs or Vikings left today ? No. Humans have been evolving and interbreeding for eons. We bred the Neanderthal into our DNA 10,000 years ago. Don't you think Joe Neanderthal felt the same way you do ? Of course he did. Relax dude. Accept what will always change, change itself. Go have a talk with your brown brothers. They are mankind's future and you can't do a thing about it.

Within a few election cycles we will have a president who is of Asian or Indian decent or possibly a person of Hispanic decent .

They will be the grandchild of legal immigrants and they will be a person of very high achievement in education and their career experience .

Who cares what ethnicity they are UNLESS they are racially biased like Obama. Thanks to BO, there will not be another black man considered for a long time. What good it is to elect a man that knows we won't impeach him under the threat of racial riots?
Hillary will not have that problem because no one is going to worry about riots caused by impeaching her.
