Border Security: There are two ways Islamofascists plan to conquer America — one by violent jihad, the other by mass immigration, or "al-hijrah." Our president has aided the latter. Donald Trump wants to stop it.
Lost in all the coverage of the GOP presidential hopeful's plan to seal the Mexican border is his proposal to curb Muslim immigration, which Obama is dangerously abetting through liberalized refugee programs. In fact, this administration has been ushering in immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries at the rate of more than 100,000 a year.
Citing national security, Trump would stop the flood of immigrants from Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Syria and other Muslim countries posing a terrorist risk.
"Additionally," he said in his five-page immigration reform proposal, "we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm."
"From the 9/11 hijackers to the Boston bombers and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us," he added.
Trump is right. This is a national security issue. Importing more hard-core Somali families and male Saudi students raises our risks of being attacked.
Trump and Sen. Rand Paul are the only major presidential candidates talking about limiting the influx of immigrants from the Middle East. To that end, Trump also wants to increase standards for refugees and asylum-seekers "to crack down on abuses."
Right now, Obama's State Department, with assistance from the United Nations, resettles Syrian and Iraqi "refugees" in small cities across America, even though those two countries comprise the headquarters of the Islamic State.
The regime has allowed so many Somali "refugees" to enter the U.S. that they have turned Minneapolis into "Little Mogadishu" and a hotbed for al-Qaida and Islamic State recruitment. They are arriving at a rate of 5,000 to 12,000 a year, according to the State Department.
Other Somali immigrant hot spots are Nashville, Tenn., and Alexandria, Va. — not far from the Pentagon and just across the river from the White House.
This represents a big shift in immigration flows. The surge in immigrants from Muslim countries now actually outpaces the flood of immigrants from Mexico and Central America combined.
This is not only alarming, it's suicidal. No one's really talking about it, with the exception of Trump and Paul, but this mass immigration from Muslim countries poses a serious national security threat.
While it's true that Americans joining the Islamic State have been a fairly diverse group, the largest single group has consisted of Somali immigrants from Minnesota.
