But this America-Last administration did it anyway.
“GOP Battles Biden Admin Decision That Made It Easier for Terrorists To Enter US,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, July 20, 2022:
Congressional Republicans want to mandate that any immigrant who applies for a U.S. visa disclose ties they might have to Iran and its terror affiliates, according to legislation obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Those seeking entrance into the United States are not currently asked on immigration forms if they have ties to the hardline Iranian government and its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the country’s paramilitary fighting force responsible for orchestrating terror attacks on Americans.
The bill, led by Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.) and a coalition of 14 lawmakers affiliated with the House Republican Study Committee (RSC), comes on the heels of a Free Beacon report detailing the Biden administration’s decision to loosen immigration laws so that individuals with known ties to designated terror groups can more easily enter the country. The amended law permits foreigners who provided “insignificant material support” to designated terror groups to receive “immigration benefits or other status.”
“Opening the border to members of a hostile terrorist army violates the Biden administration’s constitutional obligation to protect states from invasion,” Banks said. “Unfortunately, House Democrats have prioritized appeasing Iran above all else.”
Banks and his colleagues say the administration is opening “the floodgate for supporters of IRGC terrorism to enter the United States,” according to an RSC-authored memo circulating among Republican offices on Capitol Hill and obtained by the Free Beacon.
The Republican legislation, called the “Protecting America from IRGC Terrorists Act,” seeks to close these loopholes by mandating that every foreigner applying for a U.S. visa or citizenship disclose any ties to Iran and the IRGC on relevant immigration forms. The Republican coalition says the legislation is particularly important as Iran and its terror proxies actively plot to assassinate current and former U.S. government officials.
“I am shocked that disclosing Iranian and IRGC affiliations was not already a requirement for U.S. visa applications,” Rep. Lisa McClain (R., Mich.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee and one of 15 Republican cosponsors of the bill, told the Free Beacon. “Iran has shown us time and time again that they are no friend of the United States.”
The legislation, which is likely to garner widespread Republican support but stall in the Democrat-controlled House, would force the State and Homeland Security Departments to “ask about an alien’s affiliation with the Iranian state and the IRGC on visa, permanent residency, and naturalization application forms,” according to a full copy of the bill….

compare this lack of care and questioning to anything an American…born here…citizen has to answer just to get a bank account, credit card, mail a package, or see a new doctor.
And especially, to get a new driver’s license….for a citizen who may have driven for fifty years, but needs the *new* document that will allow that person to fly…if they’ve had the clot shot and its many boosters…
It seems the present government wishes for all American…born here…citizens…to suffer at the hands of illegals and terrorists.

First of all, goose stepping is both ridiculous and dispositive of the fact that people into this nonsense will never be allies of liberty. There is no such thing as a polity which has its soldiers goosestep and yet at the same time prizes freedom.
Second, if I would have it my way, no adult who enters America illegally can EVER become a citizen of the USA. I would make an exception for children (under 16 or 18 at most) but for no adult—no exceptions. Perhaps a green card in some instances but NEVER a citizen and with the right to vote.

Yes it is excellent, but the “migrants” should be forced to take DNA and blood test, It will take time and only small groups at a time can be tested and their DNAs must be saved for other “migrants”, but no exceptions not even for children, because terrorists and drug dealers send the children first.

Congress can pass all the laws it wants but the Executive Branch of the government has to enforce those laws. The Biden administration enforces only those laws which it deems to be “good” laws. The Executive Branch has to be held accountable for both its action and inaction. This November we need to elect a clear majority in both the House and the Senate who will not only impeach Joe Biden but see that he is put into prison for his crimes against this country. Joe Biden, not Donald Trump, is the person who is a clear and present danger to the United States. Biden has to be removed from office and his successor, whether Kamala Harris, or whomever, needs to know that if the President does not enforce the laws of this country there will be consequences involving prison time. This is vital to the survival of our country.

“No secure border policy” of Joe Biden and his leftist’s political comrades are totally disaster for many homeland security and safety reasons.
Jihad operatives from Iran have been captured no thanks to Biden, who had infuriated into American through Biden’s porous borders, Some directly connected with Iran’s terrorists IRGC, some not so directly
linked to IRGC ,nevertheless all still very dangerous.
It has been also discovered that twenty – three Muslim terrorists just captured crossing the Mexican/US border that really be a wake up call. Before that a jihadist who was captured who had originally come from Saudi Arabia, earlier yet, two Iranian jihad operatives had also been captured.
There are also those jihadists of ISIS al Qaeda and other similar jihadist terrorists may now more easily infiltrate into America .
In conclusion, Biden will have the blood of many good, decent American citizens across the United States on his wicked vile hands because he despicably opened the Southern door wide open for scheming murderous jihadists to enter into the United States.

It appears that Old Joe and his merry gang of idiots are much more concerned about the International Borders of countries around the World than he is about the actual International Borders of the USA.
How weird is THAT?.

Damn you , Patriot Act. You’ve failed to target only the Republicans!
Call the Government Printing Office. We need a gazillion fresh Get Out of Jail Free Cards printed up immediately. Tell’em it’s a Climate Emergency.
