On the long list of crises intentionally created by Joe Biden over the last 16 months, it can be argued that none has been more devastating than the Biden Afghanistan Debacle™ — from the surprise abandonment of both the Afghan government and our NATO allies to reprehensively and deliberately leaving American citizens at the mercy of the most brutal terrorist organization on the planet. Now, there’s more.
As Just the News reported in February, the Pentagon, headed by Biden’s woefully misguided and therefore terribly inept Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, allowed at least 50 Afghans “posing serious security risks” into the United States. In addition, the Department of Defense Inspector General warned at the time that at least 28 Afghan refugees with “derogatory information” could not be found. There could be many things that go wrong.
It takes only four months to go fast.
Just the News reported on Friday that three key Republican senators — Charles Grassley (Iowa), Rob Portman (Ohio), and James Inhofe (Okla.)— have demanded a briefing from the FBI on dozens of the Afghan refugees that were “mistakenly” let into the U.S., despite serious red flags about their backgrounds. In a letter released on Friday, the senators sought to learn how many of the refugees have been expelled, updates on those who have not, and whether Team Biden’s vetting blunders have been fixed.
To purposely digress for a minute, imagine the number of “bad guys” intent on doing “bad things” who have entered America, virtually unchecked — and continue to do — as the Biden Border Crisis™ rolls on, with no end in sight. It’s quite unsettling doesn’t even begin to describe ThatIt’s a hot mess.
The Just the News February Report suggests that the level of ineptitude can be mind-boggling. The Defense Department IG reported to Congress that 28 of 31 Afghan evacuees with known “derogatory information” could no longer be located.
The United States could be at risk of not being able quickly and accurately locate Afghan evacuees who have derogatory information. The U.S. government could also mistakenly give derogatory information to ineligible Afghan refugees [parole into the country.]Security concerns are heightened by individuals whose fingerprints may have been discovered on terrorist known or suspected as well as improvised explosive devices.
Chilling. Not to mention Biden’s lies at the time, as reported by The Hill:
Kabul is not the destination for planes that take off from there. They’re landing at U.S. military bases and transit centers around the world. We are screening everyone arriving at these locations for legal permanent residents or citizens of the United States. Every person arriving to the United States must pass a background check.
With all due respect, Joe — what a complete crock of crap.
In part, Senators Grassley, Portman and Inhofe wrote Friday as transcribed on Just the News
DHS’ failure to use every database to screen for derogatory information has caused a serious breach of homeland security. We request information regarding those who were flagged by DOD as evacuees and the steps taken by the FBI to resolve their derogatory data, such as locating people currently in the United States.
Additionally, we are interested in knowing how FBI deals with the counterterrorism threat that Afghan parolees pose to the military tactical database.
In the letter, sent to FBI Director Chris Wray, the senators referenced “recent information they received from the Pentagon” has “heightened their concerns that additional refugees are being released into the U.S. without full vetting,” noted Just the News. (Emphasis, mine.)
DOD confirmed that DHS had not been notified of the change. Continues to pardon additional Afghans into United StatesDHS stands for Department of Homeland Security. still not using DOD’s tactical database to screen Afghans for derogatory information.
Afghan parolees can be found here No longer being accommodated on military basesDODNo longer is there a mandate for force protection to perform additional screening in order to better safeguard our homeland security.
How do you begin? Of course, at the beginning.
The Biden administration has purposely created risk after risk for America as a country, and the American people since Day One of the addled figurehead’s occupation of the Oval Office. National security threats and economic and energy risks are all covered by the Radical-Left handlers of President Obama’s most inept presidency. moderneThe history of America has tried their best to ruin it as we all know.
They won’t stop. We must therefore stop. These are themIn at the ballot box.
