DHS Blocks Examination Of Visa Applicants' Social Media Accounts

The acronym for the Department of Homeland Security is DHS

After the San Bernardino killings a change of name we need to address

Employers routinely use social media to run on prospective employees background checks

Most men and women do the same to determine whether a date to accept or reject

Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are a treasure trove of information to reveal

In Malik’s case her jihadist leanings and martyrdom would have been easy to discern

A K-1 visa she would have been unable to earn

Her false address given raised no alarms  or further screenings

But had DHS or State searched the internet we would have found her martyrdom leanings

Was this a case of overworked federal employees with too many applications?

No this is the result of a policy decision by the head of DHS to block that investigatory discretion

Once again the PC dragon raises its ugly head

In San Bernardino 21 were wounded and 14 are now dead

Johnson was concerned that checking social media would create bad PR

Or lawsuits by the ACLU that to protect Americans we have gone too far

Time in the fight against radical Islam for Twitter and Facebook join as an ally

Provide the feds with the account passwords of any person who for a visa applies

Social media accounts cannot be the electronic equivalent of sanctuary cities

Hindering our attempts to kill these jihadists before they strike without pity

So Department of Homeland Security does not in reality mean DHI

Department of Homeland Insecurity and due to their PC ineptness Americans die
