The Patriot Post® · Now They Tell Us

The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just issued a damning report on the so-called “vetting” of Afghan refugees during Joe Biden’s disastrous retreat from Kabul. It’s enough to make your blood boil.

Many people, myself included, raised loud objections at the time about inadequate vetting. But Biden Administration officials and their liberal media allies aggressively rejected those legitimate concerns.

General Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley told Fox News, “I am very comfortable that these folks are being properly cleared through the FBI.”

The notion that these refugees were being thoroughly vetted was obviously a lie, as anyone watching chaos in Kabul could see. People we should have brought here could not get to the airport. But those who could push their way to the airport were brought here, even if we had no idea who they were.

And now the inspector general is telling us:

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not always have critical data to properly screen, vet, or inspect the evacuees… some information used to vet evacuees through U.S. Government databases … was inaccurate, incomplete, or missing.”

As a result of this missing or inaccurate information, the inspector general concluded, “DHS may have admitted or paroled individuals into the United States who pose a risk to national security and the safety of local communities.”

I hope any decent, legitimate Afghan refugee brought here will assimilate and experience the American Dream. But there’s no denying the reality that Joe Biden failed to do the basic minimum required to keep us safe.

Biden had to know the truth long before this report came out about what really happened. But during his address at Independence Hall, he said nothing about the danger of radical Islam. Instead, Biden insisted that the danger to America comes from violent MAGA patriots. That’s a lie.

The irony is that he has brought people into the country — whether from Kabul or from our wide-open southern border — who are real threats to our national security and the safety of our local communities!

Ever since he stepped foot inside the Oval Office, Joe Biden has done nothing but divide the American people to distract us from his many failures, including his failure to keep America safe.
