National Security Profiling Is a No-Brainer

Michelle Malkin / Townhall Columnist

Calm down and think, America.

 

While everyone's undies are in a bunch over Donald Trump's proposal for a Muslim immigration moratorium, it is undeniable in a time of "heightened alert" -- when violent jihadists have no problem targeting their enemies here and around the world -- that national security profiling is imperative to our survival.

Yes, that means taking politically incorrect criteria such as ethnicity, nationality and religion into account when battling radical Islamist throat-slitters, suicide bombers and hijackers who incinerate children on airplanes traveling to Disneyland, plant bombs in their shoes, underwear, soda bottles and belts, and shoot up concert halls, restaurants, malls, Army bases and social services centers.

Yes, that means unapologetic government tracking of Arab and Muslim foreign students, high-risk Muslim refugees, Muslim chaplains serving in the military and in prisons, and Arab and Muslim pilots and flight students.

Yes, that means taking immigration status into account to apply increased, common-sense scrutiny of temporary visa holders from jihadist breeding grounds.

All temporary visa-holders -- foreign students, tourists, businesspeople and guest workers -- are here by privilege, not by right. Their visas can and should be revoked whenever necessary to protect national security.

San Bernardino Jihadis Practiced for Attack a Year, Farook Discussed an Attack 3 Years Ago

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

This gives more proof to the lie that Syed Farook was “radicalized” by his wife (generally the property of Muslim men.) They prepared the attack for over a year. And Farook discussed an attack as many as three years ago.

It also shows that a lot more Muslims were aware of the Farooks intentions than we have been led to believe. Also the family’s close connection to terror-tied CAIR makes sense.

Marco Rubio Quietly Undermines Affordable Care Act

Robert Pear / The New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/10/us/politics/marco-rubio-obamacare-affordable-care-act.html?_r=3&mtrref=undefined

A little-noticed health care provision that Senator Marco Rubio of Florida slipped into a giant spending law last year has tangled up the Obama administration, sent tremors through health insurance markets and rattled confidence in the durability of President Obama’s signature health law.

So for all the Republican talk about dismantling the Affordable Care Act, one Republican presidential hopeful has actually done something toward achieving that goal.

Mr. Rubio’s efforts against the so-called risk corridor provision of the health law has hardly risen to the forefront of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, but his plan limiting how much the government can spend to protect insurance companies against financial losses has shown the effectiveness of quiet legislative sabotage.

The risk corridors were intended to help some insurance companies if they ended up with too many new sick people on their rolls and too little cash from premiums to cover their medical bills in the first three years under the health law. But because of Mr. Rubio’s efforts, the administration says it will pay only 13 percent of what insurance companies were expecting to receive this year. The payments were supposed to help insurers cope with the risks they assumed when they decided to participate in the law’s new insurance marketplaces.

The Conservative Case for Temporarily Stopping All Immigration To America

John Hawkins  / Townhall Columnist

 

"We are not a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of citizens." – Mark Levin

Immigration is not good for America. At least, not anymore.

Immigration has benefitted our nation a great deal and it certainly can do so again, but as long as our current rules are in place, immigration can only hurt our country.

Whether your ancestors came over on the Mayflower or you became a citizen yesterday, an American is an American is an American.

However, even though that’s true, the presumption of our immigration laws seems to be that any person, from any culture, of any educational status, from any country is just as likely to come to America, fit in and become a productive citizen.

That idea is ridiculous on its face.

The whole idea that it doesn’t matter whether we bring in large numbers of uneducated people from socialistic countries with backward cultures where they don’t speak English or large numbers of highly educated people from capitalistic countries with Western cultures that speak English makes no sense.

Yes, there are always exceptions to the rule, but unquestionably members of one group are much more likely to fit in, assimilate and add to the tax base than the other group.

Obama’s Massive Intel Failure in San Benardino

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

Further proof of what I said numerous times: this was a massive intel failure. The two jihadis trained overseas, practiced shooting at LA shooting ranges (like the Garland jihadis), were linked to American ISIS recruiter Mohamed Hasan (like the Garland jihadis), were flagged by law enforcement (like the Garland jihadis), left an electronic footprint, were “radicalized for quite some time” prior to their jihad, and left a money trail. Tashfeen attended a radical mosque and went to a “radical” Pakistan madrassa.

A $28,500 deposit was made to Syed Farook’s bank account from WebBank.com on or about Nov.18, some two weeks before he and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the San Bernardino massacre, a source close to...
