Barack Obama to allow immigrants with ‘limited’ terror contact into the United States

 According to this article Barack Obama has issued some new exemptions to people who are seeing political asylum to the United States. These new exemptions would allow people who have provided  “limited material support” to terrorists to gain entry into the country.

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

    In the first paragraph it states that people who pose no threat ‘from’ the U.S. I believe this should read ‘to’ the U.S., not from the U.S. but I could be reading it wrong. The only people who feel a threat from the United States is the American taxpayer and conservatives who have been targeted by the IRS, but let that go.

  I am sure there are cases involving people who seek asylum in the United States who unknowingly provided material support to terrorists, but who makes the decision on whether or not the support was accidental? How is this to be verified? Are we just going to take the word of the potential immigrant of asylum seeker for it?

  Is this really worth the risk? What is the worst that could happen?

  Many questions with no answers other than the last question for we know what the worst is that could happen.
