Two Republican senators are asking the Obama administration how many of the people arrested in the United States on terrorism-related charges entered the country legally or illegally.
“We have identified at least 72 individuals in the United States who, over the last year: have engaged in or attempted to engage in acts of terrorism; conspired or attempted to conspire to provide material support to a terrorist organization; engaged in criminal conduct inspired by terrorist ideology; or who have been sentenced for any of the foregoing,” Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) wrote in a Wednesday letter to President Obama’s administration. “We would like to understand more about these individuals, and others similarly situated in recent history, and the nexus between terrorism and our immigration system.”
To that end, they asked asked Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to tell Congress how many non-citizens, naturalized U.S. citizens, and natural-born U.S. citizens have been involved in terrorist-related activity since 1993.
“FBI Director James Comey warned that while ‘we are stopping [terrorist plots] so far through tremendous hard work . . . it is incredibly difficult. I cannot see me stopping these indefinitely,’ they noted in the letter. “Just one week later, five of our fine service members were murdered in an act of terrorism in Chattanooga.”
The Chattanooga shooting was carried out by a Kuwait-born University of Tennessee graduate who maintained dual Jordanian and American citizenship, per CNN. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the shooting “illustrates the threat to [Defense Department] personnel posed by Homegrown Violent Extremists.

How many were inspired by the “gospel” of Pieces to perform 0bama’s Death to Americans plan?
Excellent question.
Not to mention Morris Dees losing a useful lie he currently employs in fundraising.
Why, folks might start insisting we start doing crazy, racist things, like go back to screening immigrants prior to admission.
awesome
Leftist idea of screening now is a question on the form “Are you now or are you planning to become a terrorist”
It’s not like they’d lie.
This is so awesome. Saving to my hard drive. Should be sent by masses of Americans to Boehner and McConnell.
"have you been in the United States for at least 20 years" or "do you promise to appear in court on the following date" or "do you promise to learn english"
This must be a rhetorical question because all of our leaders know that only “Muslims opposed to Obama”, and “conservative Christians opposed to Obama” are terrorists! Immigrants are voters, silly.
It is awesome. I wish there weren’t so many typos in it.
Obama doesn’t care. Muslims are allowed to immigrate here in order to conquer.
It's no even the number-although that is horrifying in itself-but the damage or potential damage they've been able to inflict.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's replacement is a perfect example.
I would imagine the majority are aliens and/or black citizens, but it would take incredible courage or insanity to mention the black angle.

And isn’t that pathetic-—it shows how far this country has sunk.
Identify blacks,loudly,if they are victims but don’t mention it if they are the alleged perpetrators.

bump
Jeff Sessions has been the leader on this issue.
Immigrants, IMO, enter our country through LEGAL PROCESS - like OUR ancestors have done over the past 200 years. The muslims or muslim sympathizers who enter our country by ILLEGAL means, are INVADERS.
