Secret US Policy Blocks Agents From Looking at Social Media of Visa Applicants, Former Official Says

by Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz, James Gordon Meek & Josh Margolin

Fearing a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations” for the Obama administration, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end the secret U.S. policy that prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of all foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas, according to a former senior department official.

“During that time period immigration officials were not allowed to use or review social media as part of the screening process,” John Cohen, a former acting under-secretary at DHS for intelligence and analysis. Cohen is now a national security consultant for ABC News.

Four dead in Benghazi.  Fourteen dead in San Bernardino.  And that policy is SECRET.  I wonder why that might be?

And Obama along with his Leftist Cabal couldn’t care less.  Anyone (except them) can readily be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

There is NO Constitutional RIGHT to a visa of ANY KIND in the US.

Looking at the social media on Tashfeen Malik, I submit, may in fact have saved FOURTEEN people from being killed in San Bernardino.  All it would have taken are a few clicks into Google and entering brief information into some fields.

Tashfeen Malik “passed” three US background checks, yet embraced jihad on social media as documented by the UKDailyMail.com.

REVEALED: San Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik openly supported violent jihad on social media yet still passed THREE background checks to gain entry into America

by Evan Bleier

 

• Malik said she supported violent jihad and that she desired to take part in it

• If officials found Malik’s messages, her visa likely would have been denied 

• Screened by Homeland Security and State Department after entering US

• Three national security and criminal background checks didn’t find posts

• Malik and husband Syed Farook killed 14 people earlier this month after passing through customs in July 2014 and getting married the next month

This is not just a shame — considering the deaths of fourteen American citizens and twenty-two persons seriously injured — it is plotted and purposeful incompetence.  Information indicates that K1 visa applicants were not checked via social media.  It is not just abominable absurdity and purposeful incompetence.  It is from a Jeh Johnson memo.  It is the POLICY of the United States — because of a politically correct narrative embraced and promoted by Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama once AGAIN, as well as his administration — and Jeh Johnson — has AMERICAN BLOOD on his HANDS.

NOT to check social media was POLICY.

Obama lies to Americans.

Americans DIE behind Mr Obama’s political correctness because he doesn’t wish to disturb, offend or inconvenience Muslim applicants.

ISIS USES SOCIAL MEDIA FOR RECRUITMENT.

Yet the US fails to — per its policy — and must NOT check social media to “vet” K1 visa applicants.

State Department records show that in 2014 the U.S. government issued nearly 10 million nonimmigrant visas, over 40,000 of which were K-1 fiancé visas like the one Malik used to enter the country.

And yet we think that Obama and this government has the slightest ability to “vet Syrians”?  Much less the actual inclination?

It’s not too terribly far from calls for torches and pitchforks, ladies and gentlemen.

Because, trust me, more Americans can, must and will die due to Obama’s treasonous mission to diminish the power and position of the United States in the world.  Obama wills it.  Obamahu Akbar.

This is an abject abomination.
