There was never a red flag waved that in her visa application process that proved that she lied about here residence. Yet our administration wants us to believe that they can 100 per cent successfully vet 10's of thousands of refugees from who knows where.
How do you vet folks coming from a countries with limited infrastructure to get the needed background information.
They might also have checked her Facebook page.
It would have been obvious that she was a Jihadi.
People check out prospective dates; employers Google and check Facebook.

How could the "U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies have missed warnings on social media that Malik was a potential threat" since 1) the name that Malik wrote under was a fake account, 2) the messages Malik sent were private to a small group of friends and 3) "the investigations don’t necessarily include every applicant’s social media history" for the K-1 visa screening process?

San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik sent at least two private messages on Facebook to a small group of Pakistani friends in 2012 and 2014, pledging her support for Islamic jihad and saying she hoped to join the fight one day, two top federal law enforcement officials said Monday.
The new details indicate U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies missed warnings on social media that Malik was a potential threat before she entered the United States on a K-1 fiancee visa in July 2014.

John Kirby, a State Department spokesman, said officials are reviewing the K-1 visa screening process in light of the gap exposed in San Bernardino. Applicants must provide fingerprints and pass multiple checks of U.S. criminal, immigration and terrorism databases, as well as a consular interview, to get the visa approved. The investigations don’t necessarily include every applicant’s social media history, however.
“If a consular officer … feels like it would be valuable or necessary to look at the social media presence of an individual, they can and do conduct those reviews,” Kirby told reporters Monday. “But it's not absolute in every case. Each one is taken individually.”
“It is also a fact, and I'm not speaking about this specific case, that many people disguise their identities on social media. It's also a fact that many of them have in place privacy settings that would prohibit a consular officer from being able to see much of anything in terms of content on their social media platform,” he added.
Other officials said Malik didn’t raise any red flags in the government’s review of her visa application.
