So what do we do now that national security is compromised?

The enemy isn't at the gates. They have already entered, thanks to the lax visa programs formulated by Congress and open-borders policies of President Obama. That's certainly one way to fundamentally transform America.

President Obama has committed to bringing in 10,000 Syrian 'refugees'. He recommitted to do so even after the December 2, 2015 San Bernardino Islamic terrorist attack. Tashfeen Malik, one of the two Muslims perpetrating the terrorist attack, entered the U.S. on a K-1 marriage / fiancé visa. (Read more about the Visa alphabet soup - an unmanageable mix.)

Here are a few things we know about the so-called Syrian refugees:

  • Most of the Syrian "refugees" invading Europe are young men of military age.
  • Many of the Syrian "refugees" are from countries other than Syria.
  • It is not possible to adequately vet those coming from Syria.
  • For the cost of bringing one Syrian refugee halfway around the world, we could help 12 in their home region.
  • 98 percent of the Syrian refugees so far have been Muslims, not Christians persecuted by Muslims.
  • Refugees will be selected by the United Nations, not by the United States government.
  • Refugees will be secretly settled in American cities without public input and knowledge.

We now know it is Confirmed: ISIS is targeting the U.S. refugee program, World Net Daily, December 8, 2015:

The bombshell was dropped by the head of the House Homeland Security Committee Monday during a speech at the National Defense University.

U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, declined to go into detail about the disclosure, the Hill reported.

But the revelation will add ammunition to critics of the White House's refugee plans who have warned that the program is vulnerable to infiltration by adherents of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS...

John Hinderaker elucidates What Obama Said, and What He Should Have Said, PowerLine, December 6, 2015:

INA § 212(f), [states]:

(f)Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President

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 be appropriate...

"Pursuant to this authority, I hereby suspend the entry of all persons from majority-Islamic countries into the United States, until further notice. The only exceptions to this order are Christians or others who are refugees from religious persecution in Islamic-majority countries."

That's what Obama should have said. It makes an awful lot of sense. America is under no obligation to bring in those who are religiously and culturally diametrically opposed to us, and by the way, who are quite often predisposed to kill us if they can. We're at war with Islamic extremists. We have been, ever since 9-11, even though our President refuses to admit it.

Pamela Geller confronts this denial head-on in her article Geller: 'Motive Unknown’ - The Consequences of Jihad Denial, Breitbart, December 6, 2015. She raises a number of pertinent questions; the article is worth reading.

Incidentally, the U.S. State Department has historically and deliberately selected refugees based on religion, per the Lautenberg Amendment. The amendment facilitates the exit from Iran of Jewish, Christian and Baha’i minorities. The amendment was first passed in 1990 to facilitate the exit of Jews from the Soviet Union. Since 1989, the U.S. has admitted more than 440,000 refugees processed according to standards of the Lautenberg Amendment.

It should also be noted that under Section 313 of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act,  Islamists, Communists and other totalitarians arealready prohibited by law from immigrating to the US.

Others who are similarly enlightened on the issue have advised cracking down on Islamic activists, halting immigration from Muslim areas, and indeed halting all immigration. Common sense abounds in the specifics included below.

Specific immigration policy proposals

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo stated in July that Muslim Immigration Should Be Halted in Wake of Chattanooga Terrorism Attack:

We ought to halt all legal immigration and refugee resettlement from Muslim-majority countries and declare an indefinite moratorium — until two changes occur. First, we must devise a better way to identify and deny admission not only to terrorists but also to persons who sympathize with radical Islamism. It will surprise the average American to learn we are not capable of doing that today.

The need for those new rules is highlighted by a recent poll showing more than 40 percent of Muslims in the U.S. would like to see Sharia law imposed, and an alarming number admit a sympathy for ISIS and radical jihadists.

Second, we must change naturalization laws to create a 7-year probationary period during which any new citizen of any religion or national origin can be stripped of citizenship and deported easily if the person demonstrates any support for radical Islamists.

Why do this? Because we are at war with radical Islam. It is time we started acting like we understand that reality...

 

Srdja Trifkovic states in the article Defeating Domestic Jihad: A Program of Action, December 4, 2015.

...The war against sudden jihad self-generated by Muslim immigrants and their offspring, threatening literally every American, is by now both real and present. It can and must be won, in spite of Obama and his ilk. From now on every Muslim is a legitimate suspect and every non-Muslim is a potential victim, with self-defense strategies understood...

1. Spying on Muslims is necessary, legal and justified - Let us start with the complex and emotionally charged issue of constitutional rights versus national security.

...we need the law that will treat any naturalized citizen’s or resident alien’s known or suspected adherence to an Islamic world outlook as excludable – on political, rather than “religious” grounds.

2. Refuse/Rescind Citizenship to Islamic Activists - All Americans - real Americans, that is, and not those who falsely take the oath of citizenship but continue to preach jihad and Sharia - will be spared the worry of state intrusion if Islamic activism is treated as grounds for the loss of acquired U.S. citizenship and deportation. The citizenship of any naturalized American who preaches jihad, inequality of “infidels” and women, the establishment of the Shari’a law etc., should be revoked, and that person promptly deported to the country of origin.

A foreigner who becomes naturalized (myself included) has to declare, on oath,

“that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”...

This is a legally binding document. For a Muslim to declare all of the above in good faith, and especially that he accepts the Constitution of the United States as the source of his highest loyalty, is an act of apostasy par excellence, punishable by death under the Islamic law. The sharia, to a Muslim, is not an addition to the “secular” legal code with which it coexists with “the Constitution and laws of the United States of America”; it is the only true code, the only basis of obligation...

3. Reintroduce “Profiling” - In June 2003 the government ordered a ban on “racial and ethnic profiling” at all 70 federal law enforcement agencies. It has been upheld ever since...

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but for some decades now all terrorists of concern to America’s national security and to the quality of life of its citizens have been Muslims...

4. No Security Clearances for Muslims...

5. Re-haul Immigration Laws and Procedures - The 9/11 Commission’s Final Report says, “better technology and training to detect terrorist travel documents are the most important immediate steps to reduce America’s vulnerability to clandestine entry,” which is incorrect. Better technology is certainly needed, but “the most important immediate steps” demand controlling the borders...

6. Supervise Mosques and Islamic Centers - All mosques, Islamic centers and their individual members should be obliged to register with the Attorney General.All over the Western world Islamic centers have provided platforms for exhortations to the faithful to support causes and to engage in acts that are morally reprehensible, illegal, and detrimental to the host country’s national security. Their message is seditious, incompatible with the the U.S. Constitution and with common decency...

The model for the proposed measure exists in the McCarran Internal Security Act of 1950. The conditio sine qua non is to accept and declare that the First Amendment does not protect Jihadists. It is in the American tradition that nothing ought to protect those who advocate the overthrow of the United States Government by force and violence, and, at bottom, that is what the Jihadists are up to. Legal regulators need to grasp that Islam itself is a radical, revolutionary ideology, inherently seditious and inimical to American values and institutions.

 

On November 17, 2015 (prior to the San Bernardino Islamic terrorist attack) author Frosty Wooldridge demanded An immediate shutdown of all immigration into America:

Rather than allow Obama, Congress and Kerry to drop a quarter of a million Syrian potential terrorists onto America to start slaughtering our citizens, we, the American people, call for a “Total Immigration Shutdown” into our country. Additionally, no more Muslim immigrants to America of any kind for any reason!

If we fail to stand up and speak out, it’s a predictable reality that we will become another 9/11 again in our own country. Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Islamic scholar said, “They want to die.”

U.S. security analyst Fred Thor said, “We are out of time. We will have blood in our streets.”

 

From the article San Bernardino: The Answer Is An Immigration Moratorium - And Muslim Expulsion, Peter Brimelow, VDare, December 4, 2015.

...it’s more than fourteen years since I wrote The Role of VDARE.COM After 9/ll: It's The Immigration, Stupid. The Ruling Class’s response: the rate of Muslim immigration doubled—over 1.6 million have entered the U.S. since 9/11...

Although with impressive discipline the MSM refers to the site of the killings as a “Holiday Party,” and I’m quite sure that’s what the liberal bureaucrats at the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health called it, of course it was actually a Christmas party. Indeed, NBC’s Kerry Sanders has speculated that an accidental reference to its true nature might have provoked Farook’s reported angry departure...

Syed Rizwan Farook was reportedly born in Illinois, the son of Pakistani immigrants, graduated from college, had a career, and appeared (as the cliché has it) to be living “The American Dream.” Yet he still was overcome by “Sudden Jihad Syndrome.” Or, as Refugee Resettlement Watch’s Ann Corcoran puts it: Don’t get hung up on screening! It’s the second generation immigrant jihadists we must worry about...

The issue is not “terrorism” - it’s immigrant incompatibility...

In the end, the question is: why take the risk?

And the immediate answer is: an immigration moratorium (Muslims first).

The ultimate answer must be: expulsion. This was the late Lawrence Auster‘s proposal for dealing with Muslims in the West. He worked this out in considerable detail here; there’s a video version here...

 

From the article Trump Demands Total and Complete Shutdown Of Muslims Entering America, Zero Hedge, December 7, 2015.

The leading Republican presidential nominee has called for a "total and complete" moratorium on allowing Muslims to enter the United States...

Statement from The Trump Campaign:(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015,

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.

According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing “25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad” and 51% of those polled, “agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.”

Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won’t convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.

 

From the article Cruz: Admitting Muslim Refugees Into U.S. Is Lunacy, Opposing Views, November 17, 2015 (prior to the San Bernardino Islamic terrorist attack):

After the Paris attacks spurred 27 U.S governors to oppose allowing Syrian refugees into their states, Cruz went a step further Nov. 17, saying he won't allow any Muslim refugees from Syria into the country...

He said he'll introduce legislation that would outright reject Muslim refugees, while creating measures to vet Christian refugees from the war-torn country. The Texas senator added that he'll seek to defund the federal refugee resettlement program, which has brought in 1,829 Syrians as of Nov. 17...

Cruz said. "I'll tell you what is shameful, is that we have a President that after seven years still refuses to utter the words radical Islamic terrorism."
