Visa ‘Do You Seek to Engage in Terrorist Activities While in the United States?’
CNS News.com ^ | December 9,2015 | Patrick Goodenough

The application form that San Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik would have used to apply for her visa to enter the United States asks such questions as, “Do you seek to engage in terrorist activities while in the United States or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities?”

“Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization,” asks another question, to which the Pakistani citizen would have been required to check a “yes” or “no” box.

“Have you ever or do you intend to provide financial assistance or other support to terrorists or terrorist organizations?” asks a third, along with similar questions relating to espionage, human trafficking, money laundering, prostitution and other offenses.

According to the State Department Malik, who with her U.S.-born husband Syed Farook killed 14 people in last Tuesday’s attack at a social services center in San Bernardino, entered the U.S. in July 2014 on a K-1 fiancé(e) visa.

“All of our visa screening process go through multiple layers of security, including fingerprints, face-to-face interviews, the full assortment of background screenings,” she said.

Asked whether she was satisfied that Malik’s application process would have followed the proper protocols she replied in the affirmative.

“How can you say that with such assurance?” a reporter asked.

“Because we stand behind our screening process for visas. What I will say is that the State Department remains committed to the security of the homeland. We – our process we continue to revise. We continue to look at this. But these are process that happens around the world every day in our U.S. embassies,” Trudeau said.

“And while we won’t get ahead of this investigation, the process that visa applicants go through continues to be improved,” she added. “It was improved after 9/11 – something that we look at every day.”

What kind of dimwit would expect an affirmative answer to those questions?

Oh yeah, that's right...

...it's a federal government form.

Without some kind of lie detection methods these forms are useless. While lie detection isn’t fool proof it is generally accepted to be 70-90% accurate and other countries like South Korea use them in immigrate and refugee screening.

Ban Islam in civilized countries, deport Muslims, put US troops on our borders, institute a “pet the pig” requirement to enter western nations or board a plane. Let the various factions kill each other in their own countries.

Yeah, I know... but I can dream, right?

They LIED on a federal form? Oh boy, are they in trouble now! I can't understand how this isn't keeping all the Bad Guys out of the country. Although, since the INS is out of the deportation business, it's not like giving wrong answers to idiot questions can get them thrown out of the country.

We are SO screwed...

Probably still more honest than the kenyan/indonesian commie clown usurping the office of POTUS.

BTW; Why no question about compliance with "Gun Free Zones"?

So it is effective in keeping out honest terrorists.

It is kind of like when a potential date asked me if I was an axe murderer. That question would only protect her from honest axe murderers.
