If you think refugees are going to come to the United States and support the very same Islamic terrorist organizations they're fleeing, you're just being paranoid. ...Or you're an idiot. ...Or worse, you've allowed your mind to be warped by Donald Trump. Whatever the reason, you live in a world of unfounded fear and you are to be ridiculed and ignore, in that order.
Or, according to Reuters, you're just a person who has a modicum of common sense. Yesterday, while the President was busy lecturing you about your stubborn refusal to surrender your rights, his Department of Justice was busy arresting refugees in Houston and Sacramento.Two men from the Middle East who came to the United States as refugees were arrested on federal terrorism charges in California and Texas for supporting Islamic militant groups, U.S. officials said on Thursday. They are the latest in a series of similar cases in a U.S. campaign against extremism. Neither man was charged with plotting an attack on the United States. One man was charged with supporting the Islamic State militant group overseas and both were charged with providing false information about their ties to what were described as international terrorist groups. The men, arrested in Sacramento and Houston, were not involved in a single plot, but they may have been in contact with each other, a source familiar with the two cases said.Supporting ISIS? Lying about ties to terrorism? How can this be? The left has repeatedly assured us that refugees are just good, god-fearing people who are searching for peace and safety. There must be some explanation for this. Maybe these are refugees from some mysterious new country, because we've been promised that the refugees Obama is importing from Syria are being properly vetted and would never do something like this.
Both men are Palestinians who were born in Iraq. The man arrested in Houston, Omar Faraj Saeed Al-Hardan, entered the United States as an Iraqi refugee in November 2009, according to a court document. In Sacramento, the U.S. Department of Justice said Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, came to the United States in 2012 as a refugee from Syria.Fortunately, these two were caught before they could blow up anything more substantial than the left-wing narrative. One wonders how many more of these guys are already out there and, if Obama grants entry to his desired 10,000 more refugees this year, how many we'll bring into the country before we wise up. Here's a video of the media attempting to belittle Trump and Cruz for zsuggesting this could happen....
