America Is Drowning In Terrorist Cells

This past weekend was a ‘weekend of terror.’ In the Minnesota mall stabbings, victims were asked if they were Muslim before being stabbed, two bombs in New York (one which detonated injuring nearly thirty people), and multiple explosive devices found on a New Jersey train station.

NBC reported that authorities fear there may be an active terrorist cell in the New York City or New Jersey. Ahmad Khan Rhami (28 years old) was captured after a shoot-out with police for the events in New York and New Jersey.

We’ve since learned he was a deadbeat dad who took multiple, lengthy trips to Afghanistan, didn’t pay his child support and was frequently outspoken about how he hated America.

I’ve written extensively about how our immigration policies are ultimately destroying our country. When we bring refugees or immigrants from extremely archaic countries like Afghanistan and inject them into our modern fast-paced society we are creating a toxic event that is bound to erupt in damage and death.

Too many of these people believe in sharia law and other destructive cultural norms (from their homeland) that are antithetical to our culture and values in the United States. In many cases, they simply cannot assimilate.

We are drowning in terrorism in America.

If you fell into the ocean with your shoes and your backpack attached and started sinking, what would be the first thing you should do? Even liberals would say “drop the extra weight and then start swimming.”

When it comes to immigration, the liberals’ approach is to add another backpack with a few pounds of lead.

At minimum, we must temporarily stop Middle Eastern immigrants and refugees from entering this country. Most Americans understand the overwhelming majority of these immigrants are not terrorists. It only takes a few. Do we want even more?

Last week, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest stated that it was the Obama administration and State Department’s goal to admit 130,000 refugees in 2017. When challenged by reporter, he allayed concerns by saying these would be refugees not just from the Middle East but from various parts of the world.

This doesn’t sound as bad does it? But consider that the ‘Near East’ includes countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Turkey. All of these countries are rampant with terrorist cells who would like nothing more than to enter the United States of America.

Let’s throw on a few more pounds of weight while we try to “swim our way’ out of the mess we’ve created!

In the wake of this past weekend’s terrorist events, many on the Left have suggested that these events have nothing to do with our immigration policies. If Rhami was born in Afghanistan, immigrated to America and was naturalized as a US citizen, then how can this be true? He came through our immigration and vetting system and it failed. Period!

Democrats believe that if someone goes through our incompetent bureaucracy, checks a few boxes that say ‘I am not a terrorist’ (or that they’re seeking asylum) that they have been properly vetted.

Democrats pivoted to bashing Donald Trump’s policies as being ‘used as a recruitment tool for ISIS.’

In liberal fashion: “This terrorist attack is Trump’s fault. The ‘Deplorables’ are the reason for this,” not our political-correctness and functionless immigration system.

Rhami sued a local police department for Muslim-profiling in Elizabeth, New Jersey, frequently spoke of his hatred of America, spoke ill of America because of our gay rights, took long trips to Afghanistan and was a deadbeat dad who didn’t pay his child support.

Since he was fully vetted by our ‘system’ and was ‘naturalized’ we had no reason to be alarmed, right? Liberals have made it nearly a crime to watch, follow or prosecute someone ‘like him.’ He cleverly used our legal system to create an invisible shield which allowed him to go undetected (even with ample warning signs apparent).

Another reason he went undetected results from our importation of ‘America-haters’ rendering authorities ill-equipped to keep track of the volume of leads.

Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Sen. Tim Kane, believes she is qualified because she helped create legislation for first responders to receive benefits after ‘September 11.’ He inferred this was a prevailing qualification for fighting ISIS. In other words, “We’re going to have attacks. We just need to make sure we have enough people to clean up the damage and death thereafter. Hillary does a better job of that.” He didn’t say those words, but his statement reveals that line of thinking.

For the sake of their continued power and personal vanity, many liberals choose more terrorist attacks as opposed to losing an election by being honest about our need for a major policy change in the fight against ISIS.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
