It argues that allowing immigrants from unstable or hostile Third World countries poses a security threat, citing several terrorist incidents-such as the Boston marathon bombers, the San Bernardino shooters, and the Pensacola naval base attacker-that entered the U.S. through various legal pathways like asylum, fianc\u00e9e visas, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/palestinian-sniper-who-shot-seven-idf-soldiers-was-trained-by-u-s-forces\/\" title=\"A Palestinian sniper, trained by U.S. forces, shot seven IDF soldiers\">military training programs<\/a>. The piece criticizes the reliance solely on vetting methods,which often fail to detect future radicalization or hidden loyalties,and highlights that even Americans born hear can pose threats if thier backgrounds or beliefs indicate potential violence. It advocates for a stringent immigration policy that includes banning migration from certain countries to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-drops-100000-on-palestinian-female-running-and-wellness-project\/\" title=\"Biden admin invests 0K in Palestinian women&#039;s fitness initiative\">mitigate security risks<\/a>, asserting that immigration should primarily serve the interests and safety of Americans.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>As we approach the 25th anniversary of the 9\/11 Islamic terrorist attacks, Americans are still taking their shoes off, throwing out water bottles, and undergoing full-body scans before boarding an airplane. It\u2019s all part of the security protocols Washington established after 19 Muslim terrorists came to the country, hijacked four planes, and murdered nearly 3,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>And while the government changed the way Americans travel in response to the 9\/11 attacks, it refused to do the one thing that would have prevented the terrorist attack (and many future ones) in the first place: stop letting in Third World foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>If there was one obvious lesson from 9\/11, it was that immigration is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-dept-spox-largest-threat-to-u-s-national-security-are-u-s-cops\/\" title=\"State Dept Spox: \u2018Largest Threat to U.S. National Security are U.S. Cops...\">national security threat<\/a> and admitting people from Third World countries where there is instability, hostility, and anti-American sentiment carries risks that no airport scanner can fix.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.9-11commission.gov\/staff_statements\/911_TerrTrav_Monograph.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States<\/a> warned that \u201cborder security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy\u201d even after the attacks. (Notably, the commission\u2019s final <a href=\"https:\/\/9-11commission.gov\/report\/911Report_Ch12.htm?\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/9-11commission.gov\/report\/911Report_Ch12.htm?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> acknowledged that \u201cin the decade before September 11, 2001, border security \u2014 encompassing travel, entry, and immigration \u2014 was not seen as a national security matter.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Yet, instead of stopping immigration from those parts of the world, Washington decided to do the opposite and actually continue to import more immigrants from those areas, which highlights the problem with the government\u2019s response to 9\/11. We may take away water bottles, bolt cockpit doors, and make <em>Americans<\/em> prove they\u2019re harmless before flying, but we did little when it came to a key culprit: immigration from countries and cultures that produce a disproportionate amount of national-security threats.<\/p>\n<p>This response is what resulted in many post-9\/11 terrorist attacks. Take the Boston Marathon bombers, who were brought to the country as children. Their father applied for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/tsarnaev-refugees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asylum<\/a> upon arrival through a tourist visa before other family members arrived. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev both became lawful permanent residents, and Dzhokhar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/boston\/news\/marathon-bombing-suspect-became-u-s-citizen-on-september-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">became a citizen<\/a> just seven months before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/us\/boston-marathon-terror-attack-fast-facts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the attack<\/a>. On April 15, 2013, the duo set off bombs at the Boston Marathon, murdering Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, and Martin Richard \u2014 an 8-year-old. The brothers later murdered Officer Sean Collier during the manhunt. These brothers repaid America\u2019s generosity in giving the Tsarnaev family refuge by murdering Americans and attacking the very country that foolishly welcomed them.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the San Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik, who came to the country on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/12\/05\/us\/for-woman-in-shooting-easy-passage-through-us-visa-process.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K-1 fianc\u00e9e visa<\/a>. Malik, a Pakistani national, had lived \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/12\/07\/world\/asia\/in-conservative-pakistani-city-a-saudi-girl-who-stood-out.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most of her life in Saudi Arabia<\/a>\u201d before meeting Syed Rizwan Farook (an American citizen). Malik got a K-1 visa, came to the country in 2014, married Farook, and had permanent resident status. A little more than a year later, Malik and Farook showed up to a holiday party for Farook\u2019s colleagues and opened fire. They murdered 14 people and injured 22 others. Once again, a legal immigration pathway admitted a future terrorist. The fact that Malik apparently had no disqualifying problems before entry shows the limits of merely having \u201cbetter vetting\u201d without limiting immigration itself.<\/p>\n<p>Or take the Pensacola naval base shooter Second Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, who was a Saudi military trainee admitted to the United States to get military training. On Dec. 6, 2019, he opened fire in a classroom at the base and murdered three American sailors while injuring eight others. Investigators later determined Alshamrani was radicalized in 2015 (prior to arriving in the United States) and had been in talks with Al Qaeda. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/attorney-general-william-p-barr-and-fbi-director-christopher-wray-announce-significant?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justice Department<\/a>, Alshamrani was in talks with Al Qaeda until the night before he attacked.<\/p>\n<p>These attackers entered the country through various channels \u2014 which is precisely the point. The Tsarnaev brothers came through their parents (who sought asylum), Malik came through a fianc\u00e9e visa, and Alshamrani came through a military-training program. Even after 9\/11, our government continued operating under the assumption that foreigners should generally be allowed in unless <em>we<\/em> can prove in advance that these immigrants posed a threat. <\/p>\n<p>But vetting only tells us past history (and even then, we missed past histories). It doesn\u2019t detect beliefs, the likelihood of future radicalization, or hidden loyalties. The more we admit foreigners from societies in which radical Islam is prevalent, the more we risk death and terror attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there have been attackers who were born here, but that still doesn\u2019t change the calculus. Take Orlando Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen and Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. Both were born here, but our soil is not magic. Mateen\u2019s father, Seddique Mateen, for example posted videos expressing \u201cgratitude toward the Afghan Taliban\u201d and referring to them as \u201cour warrior brothers,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/the-orlando-shooters-afghan-roots\/2016\/06\/13\/d89a8cd0-30e4-11e6-ab9d-1da2b0f24f93_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>. The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/06\/12\/nightclub-shooters-dad-hosted-anti-american-talk-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> that Seddique Mateen \u201chosted an anti-American talk show\u201d while in the United States as well. Hasan\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.counterextremism.com\/extremists\/nidal-hasan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Palestinian<\/a> parents may not have been radical, but <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/US\/us-army-officer-turned-terrorist-thought-attack-save\/story?id=58585738\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports<\/a> indicate Hasan became more extremist in his religious beliefs following their deaths. If becoming more religious leads you to commit terrorist attacks against America, then that religion should raise a red flag when it comes to immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, in both instances, the earlier migration of their families \u2014 who came from places hostile to the West \u2014 was the problem, but it\u2019s a problem that could be mitigated and prevented.<\/p>\n<p>Immigration exists solely for the benefit of the American people. Foreign nationals have no inherent right to come here. And even if the overwhelming majority of immigrants don\u2019t commit terrorism, we are not required to accept avoidable security risks to prove we\u2019re tolerant when we can make changes to our immigration philosophy that stop us from importing people from countries and cultures that are simply incompatible. That starts with banning Third World migration. Maybe 25 years later, America can get it right.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
