Last week, the State and Homeland Security departments announced they had altered the Immigration and Nationality Act, a federal law, to grant entry into the U.S. and other "immigration benefits" to those who provided "limited" or "insignificant" material support to designated terrorist organizations
The changes are raising alarm bells among immigration and national security experts
- The Biden administration is potentially endangering American lives
- This policy essentially makes excuses on behalf of foreign nationals who have been found to support terror groups, giving them deniability, and enables naive bureaucrats to look the other way at a record of concerning behavior on the part of applicants
- A State Department spokesperson explained that the move is meant specifically to help Afghans so they don't get flagged unfairly and can enjoy America's immigration benefits.
- However, the actual language of the new rule is broad and appears to apply to all countries and U.S.-designated terrorist organizations such as ISIS and al Qaeda
The next terrorist attack could already be here
- Observers have warned that the Biden administration's new rule could reduce visa restrictions on many conscripts from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an Iranian military force and a U.S.-designated terror group.
- However, easing visa restrictions could be seen as a partial olive branch to Iran in a bid to find a compromise on the issue.
