Vetting Aliens from Third World Countries

 Noel S. Williams discusses the vetting process for immigrants from Afghanistan and Somalia under the U. S. administration led by President Biden, particularly focusing on flaws in the process and proposed changes under President Trump.

• The Biden administration's "Operation Allies Welcome" aimed to bring Afghan refugees to the U. S., resulting in approximately 190,000 admissions since 2021.

• Concerns have arisen regarding the effectiveness of the vetting procedures. Notably, some admitted individuals had ties to dangerous groups, including the Afghan Zero Units.

• The vetting process included biometric checks and interviews but was criticized for not sufficiently ensuring the commitment of immigrants to American values.

• President Trump expressed a strong desire to only accept immigrants who share American ideals, suggesting a complete overhaul of the asylum program may be necessary.

• The current review involves examining Green Cards for about 3.3 million individuals from 19 "countries of concern," addressing the inadequacies of existing vetting methods.

• The U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has acknowledged the need for more thorough vetting, particularly using country-specific factors due to the lack of reliable data in many of these countries.

• Enhanced vetting methods, including artificial intelligence and lie detection, may be utilized to better assess applicants' truthfulness and commitment to assimilation.

• Sample questions intended for Afghan and Somali immigrants have been proposed to gauge their values and beliefs, highlighting cultural differences.

• Applicants must also demonstrate proficiency in English and not rely on public assistance to be deemed admissible.

The article concludes with President Trump's commitment to prioritize American interests regarding immigration and the need for stringent vetting processes for individuals from specific countries. The emphasis is on thoroughly evaluating every admitted alien to ensure alignment with American values and resources.
