ACLJ Demands Answers on Why Homeland Security Secretary Doesn't Know if Terrorists Were Wrongly Granted Citizenship
By Benjamin P. Sisney
As we reported last week, the Obama Administration has committed still another act of reckless incompetence jeopardizing our national security. This time, the Secretary of Homeland Security testified to Congress that he did not know whether any of the people wrongly granted U.S. citizenship were from Libya or Syria or other countries of national security concern.
This is not okay. Secretary Jeh Johnson is the head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This is a cabinet level position. His department is tasked with the national security of the United States.
We cannot allow this to continue. This week the ACLJ’s Government Accountability Project has taken action yet again. We will find out what Secretary Johnson knew and when he knew it.
In a time where ISIS (the Islamic State) publicly proclaims it is infiltrating Western nations through immigration and government leaders of Western nations are warning that it is, in fact, happening, our nation must be extra vigilant against these clear and present dangers to our national security.
Yet, shockingly, news broke that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wrongly granted citizenship to at least 858 people “from special interest countries or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud” and an additional 953 people, some of whom were from special interest countries or countries with a history of immigration fraud. “Special interest countries are generally defined as countries that are of concern to the national security of the United States, based on several U.S. Government reports.” So, that’s almost 2,000 people wrongly granted citizenship who pose or could pose a recognized security risk to the United States. And the head of our Department of Homeland Security says he does not know if any of these individuals are from “special interest countries” or, more specifically, three of the worst ISIS and jihadist hot spots – Iran, Libya, and Syria.
