In fact he wouldn't share any info on his activities. In fact he wouldn't say where or when he had been in Europe, the middle east other than to say that he had been in Afghanistan for a time. That doesn't spill anything because its well known that we were in Afghanistan supporting the rebels there fighting the Soviets long before our latest involvement. And BTW, the guy is dying of a heart condition so I doubt that prison holds a very big concern for him. AGAIN WE JUST HAD SEVERAL GUYS INTERCEPTED IN MEXICO. So whatever guys. Believe what you want. Personally I found the guy credible.
So you don't believe that the current admin is turning a blind eye to illegal immigration?
I never once said he was a "known" facilitator of terrorism. Not once. You jumped to that conclusion which frankly is a concern from the standpoint the guys he apparently is helping once they get their feet on US soil. I've got news for you. There are hundreds if not thousands of people in this country facilitating illegal immigration including some local governments and we don't do anything about it. Why would the administration view Middle Easterners different than any other ethnicity sneaking across the border? Logic would say that they could be a threat but then so could the thousands of them that have come in on student visas and then disappeared. THAT is why I mentioned student visas first and then brought up our borders.
I see you are an un-repentant ammo hoarder also.
I think this administration and all before it view Middle Easterners differently because they are more likely to be terrorists in their view. But more importantly they arent useful for picking produce, packling meat, roofing, etc off the books.
exactly.
NOT ONCE did I imply that they were knowingly doing that. NOT ONCE. What the administration is doing is letting thousands of people with unknown intent or nationality enter and stay in this country illegally.
But you are the one that made the statement Beav. I am following up on your question from a prior post when you questioned why the U.S. is involved when "it isn't happening here." Your statement is what is at issue. You are arguing with yourself on this. Now, you may have misspoken or not clearly stated your position, which is what I think happened, and if that's the case, then I now understand. But your previous comment that the U.S. shouldn't be involved because "it isn't happening here" was, in my opinion, terribly misguided, which is the reason I started the post.Let me flip that logic on you. Since that conversation, the U.S. has been attacking and bombing ISIS more vigorously than ever, and yet "it" still happened. So...
I am just repeating what I was told by a guy that told me one time that he had been in the CIA. I knew he was retired from a government position but previously all he would say was that he had been in "federal law enforcement". Maybe he made it all up but I knew him for over a year and he wasn't a story teller.
This guy wants to educate and give white collar jobs to the muslims.. Would it stop terror? maybe, but then you will be poor with no job and no way to feed your family. Which side would you rather be on? Keep them uneducated and contained in their sand hut over on the other side of the world.
I don't normally comment on these knee jerk threads, but all these types of attacks on unarmed civilians are already happening here and are commonplace. Who are the culprits? Americans. How often does these events happen? Weekly. Mass shootings by college students, Christians, white guys, mentally ill people, white supremacists, disgruntled coworker.... a new mass shooting every week. It's worse than an ISIS beheading. It happens so often that we've become numb to them. So, instead of getting your bigot on you may actually discuss the root of the problem rather than just advocating arming everyone and bombing every country. But that's just me. I'm am good shot and a veteran. More guns in the hands of an unstable population will not stop everything. There's a reason the communities of the wild west outlawed the carrying of firearms.
