From MS-13 gang members slipping in nearby to student spies flying from the other side of the world, attention is finally gathering on a lesser-known type of villain has arrived on American shores: Middle Eastern war criminals.

An ex-Somali colonel, Yusuf Abdi Ali, who tortured and murdered people under Said Barre’s regime was discovered to be living peacefully in Virginia, thanks to loose border controls. Even worse was that he resided near by Washington DC, the nation’s capital. Allowing a war criminal to secretly live so close to the White House undetected is Pakistani equivalent to allowing terrorist Osama bin Laden secretly live just 0.8 miles from their military academy in the city of Abbottabad.

Ali worked as an Uber and Lyft driver and was a security guard at the Dulles International Airport, near Washington DC.

Uber and Lyft were repeatedly asked about how they allowed Ali to clear background checks. Both companies used Checkr, a consumer reporting firm. Checkr’s background check includes the national Sex Offender database and FBI terrorist watchlists. But for illegal immigrants, it is naturally harder for the government to screen them since authorities don’t know that they’re residing in the country.

What the mainstream media ignored is how he successfully slipped into the US in 1996, despite being previously deported from both the US and Canada.

Ali slipping back into the border is thanks to a “open border” liberal immigration policy, which also allowed other more notorious illegal aliens to quiet re-enter, including one that murdered an innocent American woman.

President Trump’s Executive Order 13769 (titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States) wanted to restrict immigration from terror-infested nations, which are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Instead, Democrats called it a “Muslim ban”, as well as a “blanket ban” that affects innocent refugees, but Trump noted that terrorists and criminals would also attempt to pose as one. He was correct: Ali was from Somalia.

So if there was one armed terrorist in a crowd of a hundred people, should Democrats not be worried since its ONLY one terrorist? Is an tough immigration policy that stops just one more terrorist or criminal among hundreds of normal Muslims worth it? Is it about protecting American citizens or Islamic migrants?

Do Democrats really expect us to just ignore that one bad guy because the rest of the crowd is good? That’s exactly how just one or two terrorist cause casualties in crowded places happen, such as in the Boston Marathon attacks.

Or would they call for tighter gun control while continuing to loosen our borders?
