Obama’s new Immigration Flexibility Program is working wonders these days.
The president again turns a blind eye to Russia’s misdeeds
By Editorial Board,
ACCORDING TO the State Department, the government of the Russian republic of Chechnya under Ramzan Kadyrov “has committed and continues to commit such serious human rights violations and abuses as extrajudicial killing, torture, disappearances and rape.” Mr. Kadyrov, State added in an August 2011 letter, “has been implicated personally” in “the killing of U.S. citizen Anna Politkovskaya, a journalist who had reported widely on human rights abuses in Chechnya.”
Yet when the Obama administration released on Friday a list of Russian officials who are to be subject to a visa ban and an asset freeze because of their complicity in human rights crimes, Mr. Kadyrov was not on it. The list of names — mandated by Congress in legislation that the administration strongly resisted — is a step toward holding the regime of Vladimir Putin accountable for its abuses, but it also is another example of President Obama’s questionable catering to the Kremlin.
Maybe the American sheeple will finally wake up (excepting, of course, the fools in the "sanctuary city" of Cambridge, who sheltered these monsters, gave one of them a scholarship, and even allowed them to vote!).
