Michael McCaul (R., Texas), the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. \u201cAnd these are trained terrorists in the art of bombmaking that are inside the United States; and quite frankly, from a homeland security perspective, that really concerns me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committee\u2019s report found that the administration\u2019s refugee resettlement program proposal will have \u201ca limited impact on alleviating the overall crisis but could have serious ramifications for U.S. homeland security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeh Johnson, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, admitted in October at a hearing before the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee that organizations such as the Islamic State might attempt to exploit the Syrian refugee resettlement program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true that we are not going to know a whole lot about the Syrians that come forth in this process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>President Obama\u2019s refugee resettlement program is now under scrutiny after deadly terrorist attacks in Paris killed more than 120 people and left more than 300 injured on Friday. It is suspected that one of the terrorists entered the country as a refugee.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these attacks, men in Minnesota were apprehended by the feds for trying to join the Islamic State. There is growing concern that the state would be a recruiting ground for the Islamic State because of its large community of Somali refugees.<\/p>\n<p>The report was released after a nearly year-long investigation evaluating challenges with allowing Syrian refugee flows into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Governors from many states are now refusing to allow Syrian refugees to resettle in their states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the tragic attacks in Paris and the threats we have already seen, Texas cannot participate in any program that will result in Syrian refugees\u2014any one of whom could be connected to terrorism\u2014being resettled in Texas,\u201d said Gov. Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is an undeniable connection between our refugee resettlement program and the increased risk of a terror attack within the United States,\u201d said Jessica Vaughan, an immigration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been roughly 70 terrorist plots in the United States since 9\/11 and scores of young people who are first or second generation refugees and immigrants who have become involved in some way with Islamist jihadists, either by undertaking attacks here or traveling overseas to join a terrorist group or both.&#8221; she said&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the Original Article at<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jihadwatch.org\/2015\/11\/al-qaeda-jihadists-entered-u-s-through-refugee-program\">Jihad Watch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al Qaeda jihadists entered U.S. through refugee program But relax: Obama says the refugees are no more threatening than tourists. \u201cReport: al Qaeda Terrorists Entered United States Through Refugee Program,\u201d by Ali Meyer,Washington Free Beacon, November 18, 2015: Two al Qaeda terrorists who had killed American soldiers were able to enter the country as refugees,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3011,1704,13,74,2417,2726,2933,2990,1189,272],"tags":[3066,1645,3067,2146,3068,3069],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9652\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
