I Held a General’s Rank

There is an old saying that the “Devil is in the details,” and regarding the so-called Syrian refugee crisis, and U.S. immigration in general, it is obvious that the Obama administration does not want to raise public awareness of the details of his immigration follies. Obama has single-handedly crafted his own immigration legislation eschewing both the Constitution and the Legislative branch of government. He has intentionally left our Southwestern border wide open while virtually handcuffing those in charge of policing and protecting our border.

He has usurped the power of the Southwestern states, as there is nothing in the Constitution that vests the Federal government with the power to police illegal immigration within the territory of a state. In essence, his administration has no Constitutional power over immigration enforcement. That power belongs to the individual states alone, and that power was upheld by the Judicial branch in an 1837 case, New York vs Miln that allowed the State of New York to expel those immigrants that it deemed likely to become a public burden.

In the case of Obama, it is simply a matter of “laws be damned,” as he will let nothing stand in the way of his Cultural Marxist preferences and ideology. Not only does he thumb his nose at the laws, but also at his own Oath of Office which requires him to faithfully execute the laws which have been passed by our Legislative branch. Unfortunately for him, if he adhered to his oath it would be he that would be handcuffed in his attempt to fundamentally transform the United States, and he has shown that as a man who believes that he is of wealth and taste among other attributes, he will not be bothered with trivialities such as Oaths and Constitutions.

Any reasonable and sentient human that is not blinded by an anti-American ideology understands that, regarding immigration, and the current state of affairs concerning radical Islam and the West, the idea of a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration is both an astute and cautious decision. When discussing the prospect of such a moratorium, Obama claims that “that is not who we are.” To the contrary Mr. Obama, if you are having moments of doubt and pain then I assure you that that is precisely who we are as there is both precedent, (thanks to Jimmy Carter as pertains to Iranians during the Iranian hostage crisis), as well as legal authority to boot. Under Federal law the Executive branch is “expressly required to take religion into account” in determining who is granted asylum as per Section 1158 of Title 8, U.S. Code.

Further, under Section 1101 (a)(42)(A) “the applicant must establish that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion was or will be one central reason for persecuting the applicant.” The same section of U.S. Code requires the Executive branch to take into account the alien’s religion. “The term refugee means (A) any person who is outside any country of such person’s nationality…who is unable or unwilling to return to…. that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of….religion (among other things).” The granting of asylum is meant to address persecution, and is not meant to be a tool for fundamentally transforming a nation, its demographics and its culture by a would-be dictator.

None of these refugees has an Allah-given right to immigrate to the U.S., and because they may be coming from a country ravaged by war does not, by itself, make them a candidate for asylum. So, indeed, not only is there nothing unconstitutional about a religious test, as in fact it is instrumental in the granting of asylum, but it is also “very American and it is exactly who we are.”

Not only does Obama continue to bring these alleged refugees into the country with a goal of 10,000 refugees by the end of the year (a goal that he is well on his way to attaining), but he seemingly must have his own personal religious test as less than one percent of them are Christians with the rest being Muslims, but perhaps that is merely a coincidence. Perhaps. The number of Syrian refugees that Obama is bringing in pales in comparison to the thousands and thousands that are flooding across our Southwestern border.

U.S. South Command (Southcom) Army Col. Lisa A. Garcia estimates that in 2015 “we saw a total of 331,000 immigrants enter the Southern border. We estimate more than 30,000 of these were from countries of terrorist concern.” It is a fact, and not a conspiracy theory, that Sunni extremists are infiltrating with the assistance of Latin America alien smuggling networks. Both Iran and Hezbollah are increasing their involvement in Latin America. Joel Vargas, head of Contingent Security Services and a consultant to law enforcement claims that Guatemala is the weak link and point of entry for immigrants from MENA for the last six years.

It is not just that many of these MENA migrants pose an obvious terrorist threat to U.S. citizens, but they also pose a health threat as well. Outbreaks of Measles, Polio, Tuberculosis, Yellow Fever, and Hepatitis are all on the upswing due to the increase of immigrants that even the directors of Homeland Security and the F.B.I. say we are not prepared to properly vet. If asked, C.D.C would have to admit the same. Apparently, proper vetting cannot stand in the way of the President’s destructive immigration goals. There is currently a catastrophic outbreak of the flesh-eating disease, known as Leishmaniasis, across the Middle East and North Africa.

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is the most common form of the disease which is caused by protozoan parasites that are spread by sand flies.. It manifests itself with volcano-like skin ulcers across the body. Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis, a more advanced form of the disease, likewise produces skin ulcers as well as mucosal ulcers in the nose and mouth. Visceral Leishmmaniasis is the most serious form of the disease and can be fatal as it attacks the internal organs as well as bone marrow. An epidemic of Leishmaniasis raged through South Sudan from 1984 until 1994 killing 40,000 people.

What should set off alarms is the fact that the parasites responsible for this deadly disease may survive for years while a host remains asymptomatic. If you add in the factor that the blood test which the C.D.C. administers to refugees does not even look for Leishmaniasis it would seem as though the Obama administration is rolling the dice, and perhaps sealing the fate of some innocent Americans, by admitting refugees from Afghanistan, Algeria, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria where the disease is prevalent.

But these are just details – details that the main stream media and the Obama administration do not believe are important, or that you should concern yourself with. Diversity is our king and Multiculturalism his queen, and sympathy for Obama’s chosen lot outweighs security for Americans. No, there are immigration goals to be met and a culture to be sullied and contaminated. If some folks choose to be bitter and want to cling to their culture, and should fall victim to the details by happenstance, well then, that’s just the way the Devil rolls the dice. It’s the nature of his game, and it’s not puzzling.
