This happened even though he'd had contact with Al Qaeda prior to traveling to the USA.
That what, all immigration and visa's should be denied?
Lets see. VISA's are denied for many reasons.
Low income.
No job.
If you have any arrest in your record at all.
If the interviewer has a bad feeling about you.
So known contact with a known terror org should be a good enough reason.
That they showed little signs of being terrorists when coming in doesn't mean our state department is incompenent in letting them in.
Our government is incompetent for allowign them to stay after their visas expire. Thousands are roaming the US this very second on expired visas. Nobody cares. You can read all about it here.
Of the estimated 4-5 million here they investigated 34K and arrested 8 thousand folks. If we can't keep up where these people are then they shouldn't be allowed in the country to begin with. Not to mention what an easy back door this is to gain entry for terrorist attacks which has already been shown. It's basically ridiculous.
"According to CTCEU data, as of October 2010, ICE field offices had closed about 34,700 overstay investigations that CTCEU headquarters assigned to them from fiscal year 2004 through 2010.17 These cases resulted in approximately 8,100 arrests (about 23 percent of the 34,700 investigations), relative to a total estimated overstay population of 4 million to 5.5 million.18 About 26,700 of those investigations (or 77 percent) resulted in one of three outcomes.19 In 9,900 investigations, evidence was uncovered indicating that the suspected overstay had departed the United States. In 8,600 investigations, evidence was uncovered indicating that the subject of the investigation was in-status (e.g., the subject filed a timely application with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to change his or her status and/or extend his or her authorized period of admission in the United States). Finally, in 8,200 investigations, CTCEU investigators exhausted all investigative leads and could not locate the suspected overstay"
Our government is incompetent for allowign them to stay after their visas expire.
That I will agree with.
