A new report from the Department of Homeland Security revealed that when the Biden administration brought in refugees from Afghanistan following the disastrous 2021 withdrawal, they might not have been as well vetted as the administration wanted you to believe.
According to the report, their vetting system had a roughly 40% error rate. The report points to the fact that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services was instructed to adjudicate 90% of all claims within just 150 days.
Jeffrey Addicott with the Warrior Defense Project at St. Mary’s School of Law believes that might be the exact reason the error rate could be even higher than 40%. “I would say the number is probably closer to 60–70%, because the methodology we used was rushed by activist judges,” he said.
He went on to warn that this has created real everyday risk for American citizens, saying: “We’re in the position now where we have to look at these people now and see if they’ve committed any criminal acts. We want to vet them before they come in, not after they’re already here.”
Addicott also pointed out that vetting these “refugees” at all is virtually impossible, thanks to the complete collapse of the Afghan government shortly after the U.S. withdrawal. The nation is now governed by the Taliban.
He pointed out that some of these “refugees” have already been arrested, and believes that there may be more with ill intent that we haven’t caught yet.
