Poor immigration enforcement polices makes US vulnerable to ISIL infiltration

Washington Times:

Islamic State militants could come to the U.S. through the front door, using America’s “loose and lax” legal immigration system to gain a foothold here, the president of the union that represents immigration case officers said Thursday in a scathing letter.

From “loopholes” in the asylum system to failing to go after immigrants who overstay their visas, the government has left security vulnerabilities, said Kenneth Palinkas, president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council.

He said visa overstays are prime targets for recruitment by radical elements such as the Islamic State, which also goes by the acronyms ISIS or ISIL.

“In addition to the extremely real and serious threat that ISIS has already or will soon slip across our porous southern border, it is also essential to warn the public about the threat that ISIS will exploit our loose and lax visa policies to gain entry to the United States,” Mr. Palinkas said in the letter.
