The regime is lying (no surprise). The DC shooter underwent thorough vetting by counterterrorism authorities before entering the United States, according to people with direct knowledge of the case. So of course Trump will blame all refugees....

If anyone else in authority had written this alarms would go off. It is unhinged. Deranged. Remove anyone who is not a net asset to the nation? De-naturalize migrants who are non-compatible with Western Civilization? Exactly how would we adjudicate these? Oh, I forgot. Vindictively and violently.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.
