During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed to halt travelers coming from countries with terrorist connections until U.S. security officials could “figure out what is going on.”
The situation seems murky as ever.
Trump’s January 2017 executive order restricted travelers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, North Korea and Venezuela. The ban, subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court, included also barred immigrants from those countries.
Yet three years on, more than 8,000 individuals from three of those nations remain in the U.S. illegally. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) listed 8,480 “non-detained” illegal aliens from Iran, Syria and North Korea residing here, as of June 2018.
Another 1,860 aliens are from Sudan, which the Secretary of State has also designated a sponsor of terrorism. Sudan’s contingent brings the total to 10,340.
Intelligence officials and security experts have testified in Congress about the existence of Iranian “sleeper cells” operating within the United States, awaiting orders to commit acts of terrorism. Thomas Homan, former acting director of ICE, acknowledged, “My biggest concern isn’t how many terrorists have been arrested entering the country illegally, but how many got through.”
According to ICE, the individuals from terrorist states were ordered removed from the U.S., or have pending final orders of removal. Yet they remain. ICE has not said how many, if any, have been deported since last year’s report.
All of which continues to beg the question: What is going on?
“It’s bad enough that America is deluged with illegal aliens from failed states around the world. It’s simply unacceptable that we have aliens here from terrorist states that are sworn enemies of America,” said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of the Immigration Reform Law Institute, which obtained the ICE data via a Freedom of Information Act request.
Whether the blame lies with subversive local sanctuary policies or a systemic breakdown in federal immigration enforcement – or both — the continued illegal presence of thousands of aliens from countries bent on harming America indicates that the U.S. is failing to address a serious and potentially dangerous problem.

Why wouldn’t the people, who allowed her to speak, and say such things, toour young students’, not challenge her? On the spot, with counter remarks to balance her lies out and speak the truth?
What is happening to our country, and, why are we allowing such things to take place?????? Without CHALENGE!!!
Are we afraid to call our melting pot of honest citizens, along with those who whish to be hear and become citizens, an honest sincere Country beloved by most of the world we live in, OUR COUNTRY???
WE ARE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY, AND, IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT YOU CAN LEAVE ON THE NEXT FLIGHT OUT!! SPEAK YOUR OWN LANGUAGE IN YOUR OWN CONTRY. WE SPEAK ENGLISH AND IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEARN IT DOUN’T COME!
Our Founding Father’s, you know, all of those old white, old?, American men, who founded this country would be ashamed at how we are allowing it to slip off into another type of second class country. We should be ashamed. We have lost the courage to challenge. Stand up for our country. BE A PROUD AMERICAN!!!
America as we once knew it is gone. Slowly becoming 3 rd world.
Some bureaucrat is slow walking change or blocking change & we suffer
Blame Deep State.
Emphisize those nations
It blows me away how “special” they’re supposed to be- according to the democraps a hell of a lot more special than we are even though it’s our frigging country. If they get their way illegals will get everything free and not only do we have to pay for everything but we have to pay for theirs too. I envy the country the other day that threw a major hissy fit because 66 refugees wanted in- Italy maybe? I forgot where, but they let them in and it was just appalling to the people there. 66??? Are you kidding me lol? Oh my God the good old days… I miss them so bad it literally hurts.
Grease the Terrorist Swine Well
So they can’t be caught/grabbed and deported before they destroy America. Why is this a good policy?
Rep. Ilhan Omar, pride of the Democratic Congress, recently told a high school class that America was an “unjust society” and of her “disappointment” in this country. This from a woman who was allowed to come here from a Somali refugee camp. She’s also the one about whom there is overwhelming evidence that she married her brother so she could bring him into the country quicker. Meanwhile, while still married to him, she was filing tax returns with her “first” husband who she previously married in a “traditional ceremony” and who is the father of her children. Naturally any criticism or questions are dismissed as “Islamophobia”.
That skanky despicable piece of garbage *itch is infuriating. My GOD why would an American vote for that maggot???? Oh I remember, they’re not Americans- they’re demonrats.
