Back during the campaign Democrats had a meltdown when Donald Trump spoke about “the enemy within” because they thought he was talking about them – as well he might have. But an Executive Order issued Monday made it clear President Trump wasn’t talking about the Democrats; he was talking about the potential and actual security threats they
knowingly let into our country.
In Executive Order “Protecting The United States From Foreign Terrorists And Other National Security And Public Safety Threats” President Donald Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies of the federal government to undertake the deportation of students and other foreign nationals who express support for terrorist organizations that are officially designated as such by the US government.
The Executive Order states that “Whenever information is identified that would support the exclusion or removal of any alien … the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take immediate steps to exclude or remove that alien unless she determines that doing so would inhibit a significant pending investigation or prosecution of the alien for a serious criminal offense or would be contrary to the national security interests of the United States,” reported our friends at The Jewish Press.
It is likely that there has not been a more forceful statement of federal policy toward subversive aliens since The Communist Control Act of 1954 was signed by President Eisenhower.
The Executive Order declares, as Trump administration policy, that “It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.”
The Order further states, “To protect Americans, the United States must be vigilant during the visa-issuance process to ensure that those aliens approved for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans or our national interests. More importantly, the United States must identify them before their admission or entry into the United States. And the United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.”
The order also sets a very aggressive timeline for implementation: 60 days for the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall jointly submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, a report:
(i) Identifying countries throughout the world for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries.
(ii) Identifying how many nationals from those countries have entered or have been admitted into the United States on or since January 20, 2021, and any other information the Secretaries and Attorney General deem relevant to the actions or activities of such nationals since their admission or entry to the United States.
The assumption is that most of those foreign nationals who might be in jeopardy of deportation under the Executive Order are pro-jihadis from the Middle East, but the potential targets cover a much broader range of anti-American interests than just Sharia Supremacists and anti-Semites.
The President or Congress could and should designate various units of the Communist Chinese Peoples Liberation Army as foreign terrorist organizations – which they clearly are. This would provide for the prompt deportation of the hundreds of Red Chinese operatives who have infiltrated our universities and research labs.
Likewise, various other anti-American states, such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Yemen, could and should find their citizens subject to the provisions of this Executive Order if the President or Congress designates their sponsors as terrorist organizations.
The Capitol Switchboard is (202-224-3121), we urge CHQ readers and friends to call their Representative and Senators to demand they hold hearings on what foreign organizations and entities, including Red China’s Peoples Liberation Army, should be added to the list of designated terrorist organizations.
