73% of Terrorists In USA are Foreign Born

Do you remember how the leftists keep insisting that very few terrorists are Muslims?  Further, they also insist that very few are coming from other countries to attack us.

In their deluded  brains the equate a Catholic Woman protesting at an abortion clinic arrested for "harassment" as somehow equal to Muhammad Al Akbar driving a rented truck into a sidewalk of people and killing 26.

Well here is a statistic the NPR folk will do their best to ignore and that the leftist media will do everything in it's power to NOT repeat.

Government Report: 73% of All Terrorism Related Offenders Over Last 15 Years were Foreign Born

A new report by the Department of Homeland Security found that 73% of terrorism related offenses in the last 15 years were by foreign born residents.

CBS News reported:

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen testifies Tuesday in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on a new DHS study, which found U.S. federal courts convicted at least 549 people with international terrorism-related charges between Sept. 11, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2016. Seventy-three percent of them were foreign-born, and 148 of those convicted had become naturalized U.S. citizens.

In an interview with “CBS This Morning” co-host John Dickerson, Nielsen said the country needs “to continue to enhance our screening and vetting,” but also “continually vet” some legal residents.

John Dickerson: Secretary Nielsen, you have a new report that has been created by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice. What does the report say?

Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: Well, I’ll just start by telling you it’s very concerning. I think what it underlines is that we need to be very clear who’s coming into our country, make sure they’re not a terrorist. The most important figure I think from the report is that 73 percent of all those convicted of international-related offenses, terrorism-related offenses over the last 15 years were foreign born. So that’s quite a substantial percentage.

A 2016 report by NBC News listed 15 Americans who have left the US to join ISIS. At least nine of these ISIS members were immigrants or refugees to the United States. Another 250 Americans have tried to join ISIS.
