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.
Can’t wait for some idiot FReeper to call you a ‘racist’ for explaining the obvious.
Holders people could literally be qualified as Terrorists for the past 50 years easily! Especially in da hood.....
You forgot to include hispanics who enter by far more illegally than muzzies.
They are invaders also. I’m Hispanic FWIW....
Why would a real FReeper help disseminate Communist propaganda?
Just stick a playing card in your hatband so's we can tell you and your fellow Tejanos from the enemy. It's an American tradition. [page H2153]
Legal or not, the growth of Islam is poison to our homeland (and the rest of the West).
The Legal = Good. Illegal = Bad description of immigration is baby talk nonsense from people who don't know much about the subject, or who are willfully deceitful about it.
I would take a million "illegal" Irishmen over a million "legal " Somalis any day.
The article was about the possible terrorists coming across illegally, the majority being Muslim.
Red Ice Creations? Stop going to Nazi sites. They are sociopathic liars.
Trotsky did not coin the term in 1927. Richard Pratt did in 1922. http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/01/05/260006815/the-ugly-fascinating-history-of-the-word-racism
Puh-leaze!
I see it happen almost daily here, where in the hell are you?
I lump all terrorists together, whether they worship allah or not.
Kate Steinle’s killer was a terrorist!
As if Obama will provide that information. Can’t they just ask the FBI?
Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson

What a pile of scum.
Can you believe that these people are directing this nation?
I'm a retired newspaperman, formerly working in Chicago, then downstate Illinois and Indiana, and finally wrapping things in Memphis, covering the Mid-South triangle roughly encompassed by Memphis-Little Rock to Nashville during the Clinton and Gore years. In 2001, I figured it was a new century and time to retire, 1970-2001 being a nice run, and so I began backing off and closing out my old unfinished story files.
Right up until November 12, 2001.
Just so. National Socialists on one side of the coin, Communist socialists on the other. Alike, and despising each other for it all the more, despite their competitive relationship. Yet their goals remain identical: global domination with their ideology the only choice to be had.
By the way: that term *Nazi* is another red communist propaganda tag. The German National Socialists referred to themselves as the NaSo Party, a Germanic pronunciation of the abbreviation N.S.D.A.P standing for the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or National Socialist German Workers' Party.
The GAO study included all criminal aliens, i.e., those here illegally and those on green cards or work/student visas, i.e., non-US citizens.
Naturalized citizens were not included in the criminal alien study by GAO. They are no longer aliens under the law.

?Members of the Socialist Party were called Sozis. Members of the NDSAP were called Nazis. That NDSAP members didn’t care for the pronunciation is irrelevant.
Most Neo-Nazis accept the common German abbreviated name. Nazis with a sociopathic need to feel aggrieved whine about this and everything else.
You are falling down a path that will destroy your mind and soul
You are falling down a path that will destroy your mind and soul
So you spent how long in Germany, and knew how many people who actually lived there through that period?
You read and speak German as well, I expect, and your journalism school thesis was on the decline of the German newspaper business from 1925 to 1935, same as mine was?
So far as my mind and soul, they have quite a way to go to catch up with some of the things that have happened to my meaty/bony bits as Communists of various subdemonitations tried to knock me off from 1967 to 1997. They haven't got the job done yet.
Lets not forget the NGOs that work with the State Dept, “relocating” Muslims from all over the world to the US. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, while working in Baghdad. It’s f*cking pathetic. Bunch of liberal, white kids fresh out of college, thinking they’re making the world a better place.
The US Dept of State, especially for the last 6+ years, is the most anti-American entity in the country. They people that work for it, save a handful, truly dislike this country and what it stands for.
