The mask is off, Patriots. Former Obama-era Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson just revealed exactly why our immigration system has been such a disaster – and why terrorists have been allowed to hide behind American citizenship while plotting attacks on our soil.
Speaking on Fox News about the recent terrorist attack at Old Dominion University carried out by a naturalized citizen with a history of supporting terrorists, Johnson made a stunning admission that exposes the deep state's refusal to protect real Americans.
Johnson complained that stripping citizenship from terrorists is "very cumbersome" and said he'd rather just throw the suspect in jail. Think about that for a moment – this former top security official thinks it's too much work to revoke citizenship from people who hate America and want to kill us.
The Swamp's Priorities Exposed
This is the mentality that has plagued our immigration system for decades, folks. The same bureaucratic thinking that prioritizes paperwork over protection, procedure over Patriots. While Johnson wrings his hands about how "cumbersome" it is to deal with terrorist citizens, real Americans are under attack.
"It's very cumbersome to take away citizenship," Johnson said, essentially admitting that the administrative state values convenience over national security.
Here we have a naturalized citizen – someone who took an oath to defend this country – who was previously convicted of supporting terrorists. And yet, the Obama-era mindset was to let them keep their citizenship because revoking it might require some actual work.
This is precisely why President Trump's second-term agenda is so crucial. While the deep state complains about doing their jobs, Trump and his America First team are taking real action to secure our borders and remove threats to the homeland.
The American people deserve leaders who will move heaven and earth to protect them – not bureaucrats who think it's too "cumbersome" to strip citizenship from terrorists. How many more attacks could have been prevented if we had leaders with backbone instead of excuses?
