Indicted ISIS Sniper Came to U.S. on ‘Visa Lottery’

46

For years I have warned of the dangers of “Diversity Visa” program. The Diversity Visa Lottery gives out 50,000 visas every year to foreign nationals from a multitude of countries, including those with known terrorist problems – such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Yemen, and Uzbekistan.

More than half a million foreign nationals have come to the U.S. by randomly winning the Visa Lottery, bringing with them a chain migration of five million foreign nationals since 1994, according to researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies.

In my 2010 book on President Obama, The Post American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America, I wrote:

How long do you think you will remain safe while Obama ignores the jihad threat, and meanwhile triples the number of “diversity” visas and “religious” visas from the fiercest jihad hotspots in the world: Somalia, Gaza, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and more?
One thing is certain: Obama’s appeasement of the Islamic jihad both internationally and inside America will bear fruit. Bitter fruit.

And it almost bore fruit in his own assassination. Yet still the left pursues these programs indefatigably, without the slightest concern for the well-being of the American people.

ISIS Sniper Indicted, Came to U.S. on ‘Visa Lottery’ from Kazakhstan

By John Binder, Breitbart, September 5, 2019:

An alleged sniper for the Islamic State (ISIS) has been indicted, the Department of Justice announced on Thursday, years after he was able to obtain American citizenship by arriving in the United States on the “Diversity Visa Lottery.”

Ruslan Maratovich Asainov, 43-years-old, was indicted in federal court on five counts of conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS; providing personnel, training, expert advice, assistance, and weapons to ISIS and ISIS fighters; as well as receiving military training from ISIS fighters.

Asainov, according to federal prosecutors, traveled to Istanbul, Turkey in December 2013 with the intention of going on to Syria to fight for ISIS. After arriving in Syria, Asainov is accused of joining ISIS by becoming a sniper for the terrorist organization.

While sniping for ISIS, Asainov moved up the ranks within the terrorist organization and was put in charge of training newcomer ISIS fighters. Asainov is also accused of trying to recruit other terrorist sympathizers living in the U.S. to travel to Syria to fight for ISIS.

Asainov’s traveling to Syria to allegedly snipe for ISIS came 14 years after he was first allowed to legally immigrate to the U.S. through the Diversity Visa Lottery program — which randomly gives out about 55,000 visas every year to foreign nationals from a multitude of countries, including those with known terrorist problems such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and Uzbekistan.

Then, in September 2006, the federal government allowed Asainov to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Asainov now faces life in prison if convicted of the terrorism charges.

Since 2005, Breitbart News reported, more than half a million foreign nationals have come to the U.S. by randomly winning the Visa Lottery, bringing with them a chain migration of five million foreign nationals since 1994, according to researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies.

Over the last half-decade between 2012 and 2016, as Breitbart News reported, 72,794 foreign nationals have come to the U.S. on the Visa Lottery from countries that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has designated as terrorist-sponsors.

The VISA lottery is nothing more than a collection of people that would be REJECTED if they tried to come here LEGALLY. In the past, we didn’t really vet the VISA lottery people. I can only hope we are doing that now….. I don’t know…. Isn’t is sad that we raffle away U.S. citizenship? This lottery mocks and devalues U.S. citizenship.

Do you want wealthy Muslims buying their way into our country?
I don’t. The Kushner family got caught, using Trump’s name to benefit from selling influence. No, our citizenship should NOT be for sale.

We simply disagree. I am all for MERIT but not selling citizenship.

He knows. Trump is blocked each time by liberal judges and then time is wasted going through the courts. He wants MERIT based immigration with no chain migration. Thank Paul Ryan who could have made that happen in Trump’s first year – we had a slim majority. Congress controls legislation and the DEMS want a free for all at our borders. Anyone for any reason is welcome as long as they are the right kind of immigrant – dumb and guaranteed to be government dependent for future voters. DEMS don’t want merit based immigrants. He needs legislation to end the VISA lottery and close loophole in immigration and asylum seekers. I am just as concerned as you are. I live in a deep blue state – NJ.

Here is some good news for you. Trump leverages money and tariffs. Mexico is doing more for us on illegal immigration than Congress Mexico finally stepped up and Congress still hasn’t voted on USMCA. They don’t want to give Trump any kind of victory. so Trump is working around them through agreements.

Undocumented Migration at US Border Has Plummeted: Mexico Officials
By Jack Davis
Published September 7, 2019 at 10:23am

A Mexican official says that a 56 percent drop in illegal immigration into the U.S. from Mexico should result in the U.S. abandoning any threat to slap tariffs on Mexican goods.

Ebrard will be in Washington Tuesday for meetings with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as the U.S. and Mexico review the agreement between the two countries in which Mexico promised to do more to reduce the flood of migrants crossing the border into the U.S. (They need to do MORE.)

To implement the agreement, Mexico deployed more than 20,000 police and soldiers to prevent Central American migrants from using Mexico as their route to the U.S., Fox News reported….

Julián Castro Lauds How Muslims Have Helped Make America Great
SEP 8, 2019 5:00 PM
BY ROBERT SPENCER

In light of the ongoing efforts by Democrats and the establishment media to make the Make America Great Again hat equivalent to the Nazi swastika, presidential candidate Julián Castro’s recent embrace of the phrase was curious in the extreme. Yet thus far no Leftist political or media spokesperson has complained about the fact that at the Hamas-linked Islamic Society of North America annual convention last week, Castro declared: “Muslim Americans for generations have been part of the fabric of our American family. They have helped make America the great nation it is.” So far, no one has wagged a disapproving finger at Castro and reminded him that, in the immortal words of Andrew Cuomo that so many Leftists agree with today, “America was never great.”

Their silence is odd, but even odder is the fact that Castro apparently did not provide even a single example of how Muslims “have helped make America the great nation it is,” yet his audience seems to have taken for granted that it was true. But what is the basis for this confidence? Can Mr. Castro elucidate? Since, as he said, “Muslim Americans for generations have been part of the fabric of our American family,” it shouldn’t be hard for him to list a few examples of how Muslims have helped make America the great nation that it is, right?

Castro may not want to do this, of course, since it would only draw attention to his right-wing, bigoted, hate-filled claim that America is great, and that will only lose him voters among Democrats today. So we will have to do it for him.

Castro probably had in mind the increasingly popular Leftist dogma that the slaves in the pre-Civil War American South were Muslims. This claim has been gaining a great deal of currency recently, and despite the fact that slavery has been illegal in the United States for over 150 years, there are more Muslim slaves all the time. According to PBS, “10 to 15 percent were said to be Muslims,” but by April 2019, PBS had revised this, saying that “up to 20 percent of Africans enslaved in America were Muslim.” Even that isn’t enough for the VOA, which claims that “approximately one-third” of American slaves were Muslim.

(Are FAKE Muslim “slaves” relatives looking for reparations?
All they gave us was 9/11, endless wars and terrorism.)

The VOA does admit, however, that “while the exact number of enslaved Muslims is unknown, up to 40 percent of those who were captured and enslaved came from predominantly Muslim parts of West Africa.” However, that factoid works against the VOA’s own argument about the percentage of Muslims among the slaves, for as the historian Jeremy Black, author of A Brief History of Slavery, notes, Muslim slavers, including those who sold slaves to Atlantic slave traders, enslaved only non-Muslims. Nor are the alleged Muslim slaves likely to have come from non-Muslim areas of West Africa, as there simply weren’t many Muslims at all in those areas during the time that the transatlantic slave trade was thriving.

There is much more. Read the rest here:

Yes we’re headed for a very dark future as the enemy builds its numbers and gathers its strength to eventually attack us in western countries.

It might remain a one-sided war for a long time but I think the day the infidels really start to fight back, the real war against Islam will begin as the tit-for-tat attacks increase and trigger a much larger battle.

It also seems to me that some countries like Sweden and France might not make it since they’ve reached a tipping point and the population continues to vote in traitorous and weak leaders who refuse to deal with the problem of Islamic terrorism.

I wanted to mention something else… I share your frustration on immigration.
It’s crap like this that halts progress. DEMS and RINOS want OPEN BORDERS, MASS IMMIGRATION and the VISA LOTTERY! THAT is the root problem. Trump had better take FAKE “conservative” Mike Lee off the Supreme Court Justice list and of course bitter Mitt is McShame’s bitter replacement. DEMS and RINOS want to make Trump impotent to get his agenda done. If you recall this went to the Supreme Court and they agreed Trump can do this and it has been done in the past.

Two Republican Senators Move To Stop Trump From Diverting Funds For The Border Wall
In The Future

written by Paul Goldberg
September 9, 2019

Republican Senators Mike Lee and Mitt Romney have both co-sponsored a bill that will prevent President Trump in the future to divert federal funds to the construction of the border wall.

The bill, co-sponsored by Romney, would automatically end all future emergency declarations made under the National Emergencies Act after 30 days unless Congress votes to extend them. Congress now can cancel an emergency declaration only by passing a resolution that withstands a presidential veto.

Romney said he is “disappointed” that despite the concerns he and Lee raised, the projects will be “delayed.”

“Funding the border wall is an important priority, and the executive branch should use the appropriate channels in Congress, rather than divert already appropriated funding away from military construction projects and therefore undermining military readiness,” he said in a statement.


President Trump declared a national emergency in February citing cartel violence and human trafficking. However, Obama did it 13 times and you Senate Republicans never proposed such legislation until Trump was in office.

Pentagon officials announced on September 3rd that the Department of Defense would redirect $3.6 billion out of $127 billion to build 175 miles of the border wall.

The Halfrican routinely ignored 8 US Code Section 1182 entitled “Inadmissible Aliens”, which specifically points out terror hot spots as places from which to disallow entry into the country.

His administration had ample warning from Russian intel concerning the Tsarnaev brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon but allowed them in without monitoring them and look what that got us.

True, but the problem is that they are the ultimate deceivers and they will only pretend to drop the cult of Islam if they think it will benefit them. Lots of them in Europe PRETEND to convert to Christianity because they think it will enhance their chances of being allowed to stay and collect benefits.

I recall reading multiple articles about this, mostly coming from Germany, NL and elsewhere in W Europe. While I don’t specifically recall the UK being mentioned, I wouldn’t be surprised. If Muslims think that pretending to convert to Christianity would make them appear more acceptable, they wouldn’t hesitate. On the inside, and to their associates, friends and family, the reality is that they are still 100% Muslim.

The VISA Lottery is a mere gateway to those who would face rejection if filing legal immigration documentation. One must ask, what the hell is going on? One cannot believe that this indicted ISIS sniper is an anomaly. It is not mystifying the whys or wherefores of Obama’s treasonous part in this Visa Lotto. Reiterating Charlie Seattle, Trump has yet to deport any of these threats to America’s citizens and overall national security.

So once again, what the hell is going on? It is just another rhetorical question that raises the ire, the hackles of Patriots, proud Americans who witness the nation’s citizenship as becoming no more than a TV Game Show.

Yes – tho the idea is “they” created this dilemma- not “The Donald”.

As mentionaed above Trump is no always blocked several ways by Marxist usurper or even RINO “never Trumper” Dem-lites turncoats.

* Here my take –
1) “ALL Mus-limes are not eligible for citizenship if allegiance is not 1st sworn against Sharia”.

For according to Constitutional guidelines- an oath to our Constitution must take presidence to other oaths, codes of conduct or laws…Christianity has no problem with it.

2) This is also legally retro-active meaning Citizenship can be revoked if Sharia is embraced later by an individual.

3) ie- 90+% of Mu-smiles can never gain nor maintain citizenshipa so 90+% would be shipped back if the law was followed.

This is totally legala tho the Progressive Marxist’s among us will scream racism + murder for doing so
