Bernard Kerik: Trump Exposing Congress's Failure to Protect US
Newsmax ^ | December 8,2015 | Todd Beamon

Posted on 12/08/2015 7:50:21 PM PST by Hojczyk

Donald Trump has "exposed the members of Congress for their failure in protecting the homeland" and that is why he is resonating strongly with American voters, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik "Why aren't the borders secure?" Kerik, who commanded the city's officers during 9/11, asked "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth. "How did this woman get into the country on a K-1 visa, investigated by everyone under the sun and it turns out she's a radical extremist?"

Malik, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on Facebook before the shootings at the Inland Regional Center with her husband, Syed Farook, 28, immigrated to the United States from Pakistan on a K-1 visa.

The visa is issued to men or women who seek to come to the U.S. to marry a citizen. Farook was born in Illinois.

The couple, who met online in 2013, was killed hours after the rampage in a gun battle with police.

"How are we going to bring in tens of thousands of refugees if we don't have the ability to properly vet them and investigate them?" Kerik asked. "That's what Trump exposes."

Kerik was referring to Tashfeen Malik, 29, who killed 14 people and injured 21 others in the San Bernardino shooting rampage last week.

"Personally, I don't think that we should stop all immigration or temporarily stop all immigration of Muslims," Kerik said.

"However, it raises a much bigger question: Do we have the ability to properly vet and investigate those coming into this country and if we don't, one, why don't we? And two, what are we doing about it?

"He is outright exposing their inability to protect the United States of America," Kerik said of the Republican presidential front-runner. "And until they do, what do you do about it?"

Main article: Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping

In April 2014 Boko Haram kidnapped 276 schoolgirls from Chibok. Shekau announced his intention of selling them into slavery.

I doubt n it is an isolated incident. wikipedia ref

Just shows that they are COWARDS to the bone. The BLM’S are all brave and such when it comes to killing Whitey, but now that Jihadi is getting close to them they want and expect Whitey’s protection. But we will take their vote for Trump.

I have to hand it to Trump, he just plows ahead while Heads are exploding all around him.

I’m sure he will eviscerate the Media, the Democrat and GOPe Candidates and Politicians who distorted his “suggestion” about pausing Muslim Immigration during his next Campaign Rally.

He is playing Blackjack, got Dealt an 11 and is doubling down.

I’m a Cruz guy and Donald is right behind him, but I have no doubt Trump will turn this so called controversy to his advantage. Any odds on his crowd numbers increasing because of this?

This is the most amazing Campaign Season I can recollect.

Trump is an absolute genius. In one short press release he has all these idiots showing exactly why radical Muslims are winning and why they have the upper hand. Because these idiots in Washington ALL KISS ASS. And what GALL, Josh Earnest today lecturing about following the oath of office? Like his boss Obama who breaks that oath daily like a bad habit? Who demands 680,000 “refugees” from a terror producing country like Syria be dumped into the USA knowing full damn well a good percentage of them are radicalized? The UN of all things stated 70% of these “refugees” are men NOT “women and orphans” as Obama so conveniently lied about. They also stated 10 to 30% of them could be radicalized which means the potential of 142,000 radicalized Muslims could be imported into the USA. And because Trump says “Hey wait a minute, let’s put the kibosh on that” suddenly he is Hitler? Incredible!

Trump tells the truth, tells it hard and cold and these pukes in the Uniparty can’t take it which shows exactly why these Islamo psychopaths are winning. In a few years and we completely destroyed the Nazi party and brought the “unsurrendable” Japanese Empire to its knees during WW2 and here we are 12 years later still messing around with a bunch of sand psychos from the middle ages because of these politically correct morons in Washington. Like Trump says: They need to GO. They have absolutely no interest in defending this country.

All those fools just unknowingly backed Obamas refusal to use his existing Constitutional power to shut down muslim aliens entering the country until they can be properly vetted.

Per existing federal law at 8 USC 1182:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to appropriate.

Current laws banning admission to the US, and not requiring new laws. Just need someone like Trump to have them enforced:

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2011-title8/html/USCODE-2011-title8-chap12-subchapII-partII-sec1182.htm
gpo~government printing office:

No admission for any alien for Security and related grounds

(3) Security and related grounds
(A) In general
Any alien who a consular officer or the Attorney General knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, seeks to enter the United States to engage solely, principally, or incidentally in:
(i) any activity (I) to violate any law of the United States relating to espionage or sabotage or (II) to violate or evade any law prohibiting the export from the United States of goods, technology, or sensitive information,
(ii) any other unlawful activity, or
(iii) any activity a purpose of which is the opposition to, or the control or overthrow of, the Government of the United States by force, violence, or other unlawful means,

is inadmissible.
(B) Terrorist activities
(i) In general
Any alien who—
(I) has engaged in a terrorist activity;
(II) a consular officer, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Homeland Security knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry in any terrorist activity (as defined in clause (iv));
(III) has, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death or serious bodily harm, incited terrorist activity;
(IV) is a representative (as defined in clause (v)) of—
(aa) a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)); or
(bb) a political, social, or other group that endorses or espouses terrorist activity;

(V) is a member of a terrorist organization described in subclause (I) or (II) of clause (vi);
(VI) is a member of a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the alien can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the alien did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the organization was a terrorist organization;
(VII) endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization;
(VIII) has received military-type training (as defined in section 2339D(c)(1) of title 18) from or on behalf of any organization that, at the time the training was received, was a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)); or
(IX) is the spouse or child of an alien who is inadmissible under this subparagraph, if the activity causing the alien to be found inadmissible occurred within the last 5 years,

is inadmissible. An alien who is an officer, official, representative, or spokesman of the Palestine Liberation Organization is considered, for purposes of this chapter, to be engaged in a terrorist activity.

Trump has made fools of all the candidates except Cruz

Yep - an the other are trying to get him to jump on their bus as it heads for the cliff. Funny how Linda Graham "challenged" Cruz to jump the shark with him to prove he's not a racist/sexist/islamophobic/bigot type person even as over 75% of the People polled agree with Trump.

I hope they keep using this to attack Trump with - it makes his attackers even weaker yet in the public eye...

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

It is indeed. It’s particularly prevalent in the Sudan where the islamists in the north are enslaving Christians from the south.

Ditto. Trump has changed the paradigm, and none too soon.

What we have seen is the utter cowardice of the entire GOP establishment to take on Obama and his ilk.

I think Trump did as well, and said I am going to do this myself.

The world and America will never be the same. The last six months have seen the advancement of the things we believe in for a change, instead of the fecklessness of the GOP simpering along, trying to play kissyface with the Democrats.
