Wunderbare.
Remember those two dead terrorist bastards who killed 14 and wounded 20+ in San Bernardino earlier this month? You know, the case where a US citizen went to a nation with a high level of support for radical Islamic terrorism; found himself a “bride”; and brought her to the US on a spousal visa? The case where the terrorist “bride” apparently had made past posts on social media supporting violent jihad and indicating a desire to participate in same, but was admitted to the US anyway because checking her social media accounts during the visa approval process was against DHS policy?
Well, sit down – it gets even “better”.
When a US citizen wants to bring a foreigner to the US as a spouse, there is a existing requirement in Federal law that the two individuals must have met face-to-face at least once prior to that prospective spouse being granted a visa to enter the US. The purpose of this requirement is to combat “sham marriage” rackets.
Well, regarding our two dead terrorists . . . do I really need to spell it out?
Yeah, you guessed it: turns out there’s no real evidence that a face-to-face meeting ever happened prior to the spouse receiving her visa. And it also appears that (1) INS noticed a lack of evidence for such a meeting, (2) asked for more information documenting that such a meeting happened, (3) got nothing . . . but approved her entry into the US on a spousal visa anyway.
Further, there’s actually rather strong circumstantial evidence that such a meeting likely never happened.
Fox has a decent story from a couple of days ago detailing the timeline and evidence. It’s worthwhile reading.
Oh, and remember the dead terrorists’ friend who acted as straw buyer for the weapons they used in their attack? Turns out he was getting paid $200 a month for his “marriage” to an in-law of the dead male terrorist. It certainly looks at this point like that “marriage” was a sham, too.
“Curiouser and curioser”, said . . . well, damn near anyone with a working brain.
Yeah, Secretary Johnson – looks like your department’s certainly “got some ‘splainin’ to do.” About multiple things.

What I have noticed about leftists/progressives/commies is that they are all for making new laws to make themselves feel better, but when the criminals and the government don’t follow the rules/laws, then it really only affects those of us that DO follow the laws. Our fraud-in-chief sets the example of ignoring laws he doesn’t like all the time; so why should anyone else follow the law?
gotta through politics in it or it aint worth reading…..
I think that AQ and ISIS are using the women that join the sexual jihad and combining it with a social media ‘mail order bride’ campaign. They marry these women off to a man in the US (or UK, etc) in order to gain entry. Once there they convince, seduce, or coerce the target into supporting or executing attacks.
It is really an ingenious way to establish a support network in denied territory- the men are already here and they are citizens, which means they have freedom of movement and access to weapons and other resources as well as a knowledge of vulnerable targets. This guy was complicit, but there are probably many who are not- we call them ‘unwitting’ supporters. This technique is used not really to protect the victim but to minimize the security risk.
This is a good look at the network: https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/national/the-san-bernardino-killers-network-of-interest/1912/
Wanna see something really scary? The brother was in the Navy and served on the Enterprise. Just think of what access he could have provided, witting or unwitting? This is why basic security procedures have to be followed to the letter all the time…
Another “Smart Power” accomplishment by bodaprez (the ghettofabulous one) and his minions!
Millard Filmore, Jimmy Carter and James Buchanan looks like a geniuses compared to Obama…
“Yeah, Secretary Johnson – looks like your department’s certainly “got some ‘splainin’ to do.” About multiple things.”
Come on Hondo. You think that will happen? Obama doesn’t see anything wrong with it. The media doesn’t either. Zip. Zero. Nada.
Well, while Europe is supposed to be opening its arms to refugees, not all Europeans are happy with that idea.

I guess backlash from things like Paris and San Bernardino is going to have its effect, but not quite what the jihadis expected.
If we’re going to get into that ridiculous discussion about discrimination, my response is that if someone who comes here wants to kill me, well – right back atcha.
Of COURSE they don’t understand the typical, sane American’s response. Perhaps the most glaring character trait that lefties and jihadis share is their willingness to mischaracterize the anger, tempered with a bit of sadness, that we all righteously feel with the fear that they wish for us to feel. On the bright side – that mistake may just be the downfall of both groups.
‘the downfall of both’ – exactly. Never underestimate the calmness of your opponent.
The only functioning aspect of DHS is the Coast Guard, perhaps its time to expand their mission.
When asked the question “do you hate Ameica?” Her resounding yes secured a approval stamp from the presidents desk.
Stack that ammo deep.
Geez, seems like not so long ago when everyone and the freakin’ chaplain examined the background of foreign brides. Ask any former GI.
In a sane world, Jeh would be on the street either by resigning or by being shit-canned, and his replacement would be busy cleaning house.
In a sane world…
The administration of this klowne krewe is enough to make me sick to my stomach.
It is nothing short of a miracle that we haven’t had dozens if not hundreds of attacks from these goat ropers.
Where is Lars to explain this to the rest of us. I am certain that his vast knowledge of international relations can come up with a complete rationalization for this policy or lack thereof…
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT…as if Americans don’t have enough to worry about, murderers marrying Dogs to get visas… VERWONEREND, PRACHTIG, SCHITTEREND.
