(NationalSecurity.news) As most Americans know by now Omar Mateen, the child of Afghan migrants, was responsible for the killing of at least 50 American and the wounding of at least that many more in an attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., last weekend.
What most Americans probably don’t know, however, is that there is the potential that scores more like him are either already in the United States or are headed this way. And nearly every one of them supports the same anti-gay, anti-constitutional positions contained in Sharia law.
As reported by Breitbart News, between 2001 and 2013 the U.S. permanently resettled almost 30,000 Afghans on green cards. And according to the Pew Research Center nearly all Muslims in Afghanistan (99%) support sharia law as official law.
As legal migrants these Afghan residents of the United States will be granted lifetime resettlement privileges, be given work permits and, eventually, voting rights. In addition to the 30,000 Afghans resettled in the U.S., during the same time frame the United States permanently resettled 1.5 million Muslim immigrants throughout the United States, Breitbart News reported.
Over the next five years, if there are no changes at all to visa dispensations – which are pretty much on autopilot right not – the U.S. will permanently resettle a Muslim population larger than the entire population of Washington D.C., Breitbart noted.
Without fueling flames of intolerance, it is noteworthy that, according to the Department of Homeland Security, immigration from the unsettled and war-torn Middle East is on the rise. Based on 2014 DHS data, the number of green cards issued to Middle Eastern countries increased by 32 percent. The number of green cards issued to Afghan migrants increased by 379 percent in the course of that single year.
Speaking of DHS, the CounterJihad web site noted that the Orlando terrorist Mateen “worked almost a decade for a major Department of Homeland Security contractor, raising alarms that ISIS sympathizers and agents have infiltrated the federal agency set up after 9/11 to combat terrorists.” Further, the company that Mateen worked for secures 90 percent of U.S. nuclear plants.
The site noted further:
Officials say Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, an Afghan-American who held two firearms licenses and a security officer license, was employed by the security firm G4S Secure Solutions USA Inc. since Sept. 10, 2007. The Jupiter, Fla.-based company merged with the Wackenhut Corp. after 9/11 and assumed federal contracts.
“G4S supports the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (CPB), with its operations at the U.S. Mexico border and with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to transport illegal immigrants in selected urban areas,” the company says in a brochure, titled “Providing Manpower Solutions for Government Services.”
The DHS contract with G4S is worth more than $234 million. The contract states that one of the “performance requirements” is helping identify “suspected terrorists” trying to enter the U.S.
