New intelligence has emerged about radical Muslim terrorists targeting American refugee programs to enter the country—and it appears to support Donald Trump.
Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul disclosed parts of a classified letter from the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) on Monday, which contains new information that the Obama administration has withheld from the public.
“Individuals with ties to terrorist groups in Syria [are] attempting to gain entry to the U.S. through the U.S. refugee program,” the letter said, The Hill reported Monday.

“The refugee system, like all immigration programs, is vulnerable to exploitation from extremist groups seeking to send operatives to the West,” the letter added. It also referenced the fact that a small number of Iraqi refugees were arrested on terror charges in 2010.
This new revelation seems to offer some hard evidence behind billionaire GOP candidate Trump’s proposal, which has been almost universally criticized for being too extreme. Trump proposed shutting down all Muslim immigration to the United States, and refusing re-entry to Muslims (even citizens) who leave the country.
McCaul revealed NCTC’s letter during a speech at the National Defense University. The White House offered no direct response, but Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended the government’s screening process.
“Those individuals who seek to enter the United States through the refugee resettlement program do so only after undergoing the most intensive screening of anybody who attempts to enter the United States,” Earnest told reporters on Monday.
In what has been widely called the “mulligan” address from the Oval Office Sunday evening, President Obama tried to reassure Americans that his strategies are working. “The threat from terrorism is real, but we will overcome it,” the president said.
McCaul took the opposite view. “I believe the state of our homeland is increasingly not secure,” he said, promising Congress will do more to tighten our immigration policies.
“This is just the beginning,” he said. “Over the coming weeks, we will introduce a slate of new bills” to keep terrorists out, based on recommendations from a bipartisan Congressional task force. Instead of a task force, if they simply asked Trump, he would tell Congress exactly how he’d do that.

It’s already been proven that Muslim jihadists have infiltrated. Some have already been caught. Trump is trying to address the national hysteria of this country. Although he is a little “out there”, and a bit unrealistic, at least he’s looking at a solution, unlike Obama, who is actually part of the problem. Sticking your head into the sand and lowballing or ignoring the truth, isn’t going to make it go away. It will only allow the conditions which make it possible, to escalate. Obama, you’re signing America’s death warrant. Someone do something! G-D help us all…

How do you get, ” Although he is a little “out there”, and a bit unrealistic….”
Has it occurred to you the everything Trump comes up with has already been done in our nations history and successfully so?
Here’s a couple points for you to ponder. (see below)
This is unprecedented! This is unheard of! It runs counter to everything we stand for!
Really?
Anyone ever heard of the, “Chinese Exclusion Act 1882”? Care to guess who was president?
How about Chester Arthur (R). Oh! The makeup of the Congress you say? Republican House and divided Senate. In the House: 128 Democrats, 151 Republicans.
When the exclusion act expired in 1892, Congress extended it for 10 years in the form of the Geary Act. This extension, made permanent in 1902, added restrictions by requiring each Chinese resident to register and obtain a certificate of residence. Without a certificate, she or he faced deportation.
President: Grover Cleveland (D). The makeup of the Congress you say? House: 238 Democrats, 86 Republicans.
Once again the left and the RINO’s are finding themselves no match for U.S. history.
Oh! And while we’re at it, there’s this little matter of U.S. law that seems to have been conveniently overlooked by both the RINO’s and the Leftists.
8 U.S. Code § 1182 – Inadmissible aliens
(14)(f)Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

Gotta love how Trump single friggin handedly bulldozes against the massive wave of tards whilst dragging the Overton window behind him.
Trump has been right multiple times now yet the RINO’s claim he is not fit to be president. Anyone who pays attention can see what Trump saw coming!
I still don’t trust him. Yeah, I will vote for him over any communist (demoncrap) candidate, but there is too much about that guy that isn’t right.
If they come in and attack us Trump will be President.
