Study Reveals 72 Terrorists Came From Countries Covered by Trump Vetting Order
Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) ^ | February 11, 2017 | Jessica Vaughan

Posted on 02/11/2017 11:49:19 AM PST by SubMareener

A review of information compiled by a Senate committee in 2016 reveals that 72 individuals from the seven countries covered in President Trump's vetting executive order have been convicted in terror cases since the 9/11 attacks. These facts stand in stark contrast to the assertions by the Ninth Circuit judges who have blocked the president's order on the basis that there is no evidence showing a risk to the United States in allowing aliens from these seven terror-associated countries to come in.

In June 2016 the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, then chaired by new Attorney General Jeff Sessions, released a report on individuals convicted in terror cases since 9/11. Using open sources (because the Obama administration refused to provide government records), the report found that 380 out of 580 people convicted in terror cases since 9/11 were foreign-born. The report is no longer available on the Senate website, but a summary published by Fox News is available here.

The Center has obtained a copy of the information compiled by the subcommittee. The information compiled includes names of offenders, dates of conviction, terror group affiliation, federal criminal charges, sentence imposed, state of residence, and immigration history.

The Center has extracted information on 72 individuals named in the Senate report whose country of origin is one of the seven terror-associated countries included in the vetting executive order: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The Senate researchers were not able to obtain complete information on each convicted terrorist, so it is possible that more of the convicted terrorists are from these countries

The seattle judge and 9th circus decisions were completely politically motivated.

The POTUS and federal government are responsible for securing our borders and enforcing the law.

I personally think this is President Trump smoking out the social activist judges, testing the wire. Now we all know who they are, and I'm sure President Trump will act accordingly.

The man didn't get to be where he is by being an idiot pushover.

In order for this to be relevant you would need to review the violent crimes committed by people from all other countries.

For example, if the same percentage of people coming from England committed a similar number of crimes...would we ban them?

Here is a link to the raw data, information compiled by the subcommittee. There are 580 entries. Why don't you do the analysis and get back to us?

The three amigos at the 9th circus weren’t concerned with evidence or the law.

All they wanted to do was stick-it to Trump.

In so doing, they have screwed the pooch big-time.

Precisely why Democrats are against limits on immigration - social chaos breeds revolution.

We need to add Saudi Barbaria to the list. Ever heard of 9/11 and 3,000 dead Americans?

I am sorry to inject logic into your terror jerk off session.

For people who don’t believe the media, you all are just sucked in by what you want to hear.

OK, so I took the chart and did some analysis.

The top terrorist producing country feeding the US “terror problem” is the USA. 73 of 448 terrorists listed are natural born US citizens.

The Top 5 Foreign countries are:

Pakistan
Lebanon
Somalia
Yemen
Columbia

This group represents 40% of the foreign born terrorists.

The top ten is rounded out by:
Iraq
Egypt
Jordan
Afghanistan
and KSA

The top ten countries send us 59% of foreign born terrorists.

The Trump banned list contains 74 of 448 total terrorists. Of the foreign born terrorists, the Trump list of 7 represents 20% of the total foreign terrorists.

So, if you plan is to stop terrorism through a ban from terrorists supported countries, the Trump plan is pretty much NOT what you would pick

The top three immigration status used represent 3/4 of all of the convicted terrorists:

1. Visitor Visa
2. Tourist Visa
3. Refugee Visa

You did not even read the thread did you? I actually DID do the research.

You can go back to cuffing it on old lady porn.
