Why Was Texas Synagogue Jihadi Allowed Into U.S. Two Weeks Ago Despite ‘Long Criminal Record’?
PJ Media ^ | 11/17/2022 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 01/17/2022 10:04:33 AM PST by PoliticallyShort

The family of Malik Faisal Akram, the Islamic jihadi from Britain who took hostages in Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, Saturday, has “demanded to know how he was allowed into America despite a long criminal record,” says the UK’s Daily Mail. More than just his family should be asking this question. How was this man able to storm a synagogue in Texas and take people hostage at gunpoint when he shouldn’t have been allowed into the United States in the first place? If anything shows how broken our immigration system is under the regime of Biden’s handlers, it is this entire episode.

Malik Faisal Akram’s brother Gulbar asked: “He’s known to police. Got a criminal record. How was he allowed to get a visa and acquire a gun?” Yeah. U.S. immigration law states that “any alien convicted of 2 or more offenses (other than purely political offenses), regardless of whether the conviction was in a single trial or whether the offenses arose from a single scheme of misconduct and regardless of whether the offenses involved moral turpitude, for which the aggregate sentences to confinement were 5 years or more is inadmissible” to the United States. It has not been revealed how many convictions Malik Faisal Akram has, but presumably a “long criminal record” involves more than two. Does Akram’s “long criminal record” involve no convictions, or only one? Or did he get admitted to the United States by some official who was skirting the law? Is Old Joe Biden’s immigration system so broken at this point that essentially anyone, anyone at all, no matter what kind of criminal record he has, can get into the country?

Fair question for others to ask but that family is in no position to demand anything. Not necessarily blaming them but it does not seem appropriate for them to be demanding anything right now.

I guess the Feds were anxious to put a quick end to this with the HRT before it became a story.

A lot of people are asking the question of how does an alien enter the USA most likely through a major airport when they have an extensive criminal record?

Why? Well,start with “some people did something”. That's Rat Party Headquarters’ view on jihadis.

Seriously. How was a man with a criminal record allowed to get a visa to the United States? When did he come here? And why has no photo of him been released (except for a Nigerian source)? The fact that we’ve already been told that his targeting of a synagogue was apparently ‘random’ tells me that this crime will be carefully deposited into the memory hole, just like the murderous attack in Waukesha.

The reason neocons and lefties swoon over Martin Luther king is why

Civil rights era largesse started our inability to combat any enemy non white or non Christian

If he is a UK citizen, he would not need a visa.

Have we seen pictures yet? I would assume he had the right religion, and the right skin color to qualify for automatic admission.
