Preventing Threats from Reaching American Soil

By Representative Bob Gibbs

Earlier this month the House of Representatives voted on H.R. 4038, the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act.  This legislation is a safeguard to help prevent attacks like those we saw in Paris on November 13th. This is important legislation that does the following:

1. Requires comprehensive background checks of every refugee from Iraq or Syria before they can be admitted into the United States.
2. Prevents the admission of Syrian or Iraqi refugees until:
   • The FBI Director certifies the background investigations.
   • The Secretary of Homeland Security, the FBI Director and the Director of National Intelligence certifies with Congress that each refugee is not a security threat.
3. It also creates an additional layer of protection by requiring the DHS Inspector General to independently assess the refugee approvals—making sure that high-risk individuals do not slip through the cracks.

The refugee crisis in Syria is a tragic situation. Millions of people are being displaced by violence and the United States should do everything it can while keeping our own nation safe. It is obvious that ISIS is using the flow of refugees to smuggle terror into Europe. We cannot allow that to happen to the United States. This legislation does not close the refugee program, but ensures that a rigorous and thorough vetting of all refugees coming to America is conducted. We are a generous nation and have welcomed refugees many times in the past but ISIS poses a unique and significant threat that we must take seriously. Furthermore, the United States could and should do more to provide humanitarian assistance to those waiting to be vetted and enter the United States. The President's veto threat of this commonsense legislation shows how unserious he is in confronting Islamic extremism and defeating ISIS.

My Take - Even conservatives of Rep. Gibbs standing are missing the most important point - these Muslim refugees - whether they're actual terrorists or not - are the problem.  This is an invasion that is a form of Jihad, and is required in the Koran to convert the world to Islam.  Note this article Immigration is Jihad:

"Migration is part of the doctrine of jihad. Migration is so important that the Islamic calendar is based upon the Hijra, Mohammed’s migration from Mecca to Medina. Why? Because it was migration that lead to the creation of jihad in Medina. And it was jihad that made Islam triumphant.

In the past Muslims tended to stay in Islamic countries. Today, the new politics is to migrate to Kafir lands and immerse themselves in local politics. This is the jihad of money, writing and speech. Their politics is to bring the Sharia to Kafir culture. An example is using Islamic money is to build departments in universities that will support Sharia and never criticize Islam."

 Why is that so hard to understand?
