State Dept Gave US Visa To NY Federal Bank Terrorist (FBI, Missouri)

[jt800]

Even though the State Department came under fire in 2009 for granting a Visa to the "underwear bomber", it looks like they didn't become any better at vetting the people they give Visas to.....

The NY City Federal Bank terrorist also got a US Visa last year to attend college in the USA studying cyber-security.

This happened even though he'd had contact with Al Qaeda prior to traveling to the USA.

State Department granted New York terror plotter a student visa

Twenty-one-year-old Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, who was arrested Wednesday as part of an FBI sting operation, was reportedly in contact with al Qaeda before he entered the United States in January to attend Southeast Missouri State University, where he was studying cyber security. But the State Department's system to check visa applicants didn't find any reason to deny him entry, and the department issued his visa.

There are plenty of reasons to "deny visa's".....starting with the fact that we don't have enough jobs for our own citizens and we have too many children who aren't excelling in school and/or attending college. It's time to tend to tend to our own shop for a while and stop granting to visas to anyone other than tourists.

That's true, but hasn't the State Department gotten the message yet????

The State Department doesn't know what it's doing. Look at Benghazi. ( If you're a Democrat, ignore it )

Hmmm. Who is in charge of the Department of State?

See statistic below. Should we triple the size of the state department so all can be properly vetted?
Personally, I would love to see these numbers dry up to a trickle.

The total number of nonimmigrant admissions to the United States more than doubled from 17.6 million in 1990 to 39.4 million in 2008.

Hey..the DHS is only interested in watching US citizens for terrorist threats these days rather than foreigners.

Labeling denying visas to anyone but tourists as 'tending to our own shop' is laughable to the extreme as long as we simultaneously continue our asinine attempts to police the world.

I think four or five of the 9-11 hijackers were here on student visas too. Nobody tracks what happens to these folks. Their visa expires they disappear. Nobody seems to care.
