As Secretary of State, Clinton was in charge of screening visas for admission, which some foreign nationals
could then adjust to receive green cards. Between 2009 and 2013, while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary
of State, the U.S. permanently resettled 31,000 Somali migrants on green cards, according to data
from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In total, during Clinton’s time as Secretary of State,
the U.S. resettled 680,000 migrants from Muslim nations. Yet Clinton is now campaigning on the promise
of further expanding Muslim immigration into the United States.
The fact that Dahir Adan was a child when he was reportedly admitted into the country seems to underscore
a particular challenge of vetting foreign migrants that Sen. Jeff Sessions has previously highlighted. Specifically,
Sessions has pointed out that the U.S. has no “effective method to screen” migrants for the possibility of
“post-entry radicalization,” which is enabled by the importation of large numbers of people who hold anti-Western
values. Indeed, vetting means not simply keeping out people who currently have terror aspirations and already
have direct ties to terror, but also keeping those out who — based on their support for Islamist ideology —
would be candidates for terror, or whose children could become candidates for terror, or who hold values
that are hostile to American values.
