Good riddance.. for a while.
But Not on terror charges.
It does show another way people abuse the immigration system, and that they "shouldn't be let in until we know who they are."

Three relatives of San Bernardino, Calif., terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook were charged Thursday in an alleged marriage-fraud scheme that was uncovered in the wake of the Dec. 2 attack on a gathering of county employees, Justice Department officials said Thursday. Mr. Farook’s brother, Syed Raheel Farook, 31; Syed Raheel Farook’s wife, Tatiana Farook, 31; and Tatiana Farook’s sister, Mariya Chernykh, 26, were charged with a conspiracy to make a false statement under oath in violation of immigration laws, the department said.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Ms. Chernykh is also charged with fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents. She was also charged with perjury and two counts of making false statements to federal agents. Ms. Chernykh was married to Enrique Marquez Jr., who has already been charged with conspiring with Syed Rizwan Farook in 2011 in an alleged terror plot that they never carried out.
[......]
Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, opened fire on a holiday party of his co-workers on Dec. 2, killing 14 people and injuring 22. The couple was killed during a shootout with police.

Since the attack, investigators have been probing the backgrounds of Syed Rizwan Farook’s relatives, in part to see if they were aware of his interest in terrorist groups and leaders, these people said. The marriage fraud probe grew out of that investigation. Federal authorities have said Syed Rizwan Farook spent years becoming more radicalized and violence-oriented, in part by watching videos that advocated jihad. On the day of the attack, a Facebook account used by his wife posted a pledge of allegiance to the terror group Islamic State.

Remember when the liberal media almost had a heart attack about not letting in terrorists sympathizers into our country? He was called a bigot by pants wetting liberals, but historians will call him right and possibly even a genius.

This would make how many out of how many Muslim immigrants??
So ban all Muslim immigration?

Why do you have a problem with temporarily banning Muslims until we can do proper screenings? Explain the actual problem with such a proposal.

How many millions of Muslims in the US?
Define temporary.
We have some here that are in favor of internment camps for Muslims.

Which is moronic, but hey----why think when you can panic?

What do you find inadequate about the current process?

No one is taking of those Muslims already in the US, nor 'internment camps'. If you have anything to prove this claim came from an elected politician of any stripe we can all condemn him or her. Keep in mind it is Muslims doing the terrorism and we need to look at solutions to that problem, though certainly not the ones you claimed to have been suggested.
 
What do you find inadequate about the current process?
It's not a matter of what I find inadequate. I don't know the process. What I do know is that the FBI is saying they can't do proper screenings and therefore are not able to verify the people whom are coming into this country. I trust the FBI whom have consistently been non-partisan so it's not like they conjured up a fairytale to allow someone to score political points.

Define "temporary"? How about a guideline of "when the FBI feels comfortable that they can do proper identification screenings". That seems reasonable but perhaps not to those who prefer importing terrorists into our country. To them only confirmed ISIS recruits should be allowed into the USA.

How about we just start enforcing immigration laws and ban illegal aliens.

Then let's ban all Christians too because of the Ku Klux Klan.

Christian deflection? :doh

How about... Islamic terrorists have killed more Americans in 1 ONE attack than the entire history of the KKK?

Christians brought about the downfall of the Ku Klux Klowns. Muslims should follow suit with the Islamic terrorists.

I think you put a hold on immigration while you put a system in place and then resume in the matter of weeks. Would that be unreasonable?

Only recently has been protecting borders been called ''extreme right wing" These "Extreme right wingers" are protecting the US northern borders and Canadians have learned to deal with them, and Americans get the same treatment from Canadian 'extreme right wingers'. I notice other countries have 'extreme right wingers' guarding their borders too.

In fact I recall extreme right wingers guarding the Mexican border from the States.

Anything other than letting them in en masse, thousands at a time perhaps, is unreasonable, . Or 'Islamophobic'.

The Illegal Invasion of the lat 50 years has changed America and its demograpohic, so that now, the hordes of former Amnestied/Born-in illegals, are the swing vote on the New illegals.

Timetable is the problem
When we we be able to "do proper screenings?"

The other objection I have is the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, but we'll talk about that next
