And Biden helped him.
Of course, he’s a Democrat poster boy.
An Al Qaeda Leader Came to America as a Refugee, And Applied for Disability for Bullet Wounds
How Biden helped an Al-Qaeda leader come to the USA.
Story continues below advertisementAfter engaging in terrorism in Iraq, an Al Qaeda leader came to America as a refugee and applied for Social Security disability benefits because his “injuries” in Iraq had made it too hard for him to work.
In 2006, Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri was the Emir of an Al Qaeda terrorist group in Fallujah. The Iraqi city was the scene of brutal battles between Al Qaeda and America. It was where American soldiers had suffered the most casualties in any battle since the Vietnam War. Despite multiple defeats, Al Qaeda remained deeply entrenched in the city and was even able to seize a number of neighborhoods in 2014.
By then, Al-Nouri was living in Arizona.
Only 2 years after being the Emir of an Al Qaeda group, Al-Nouri had traded the deserts of Al-Anbar for the deserts of the Southwest. How was an Al Qaeda leader able to move to the United States?
Easy. He claimed to be a refugee from Al Qaeda.
In 2008, the United States raised the refugee admission celling to 80,000 to accommodate the surge of Iraqis applying to come to the United States. The Iraqis claimed to be fleeing terrorism, but some, like Al-Nouri were terrorists, and our refugee resettlement program was not interested in telling them apart.
A quarter of refugees that year were Iraqis. The Al Qaeda leader was one of 13,823 Iraqi refugees. The huge increase from 1,608 in 2007, made any real screening of the Iraqis all but impossible. And, worse still, Iraqis, like Al-Nouri, were in the top 3 refugee groups and their claims were processed ‘in-country’.
“In-country processing”, as noted by the Center of American Progress, makes “the process less onerous and cumbersome for Iraqis seeking asylum by allowing for in-country visa processing, making screening less restrictive.” And what migrants from Al-Qaeda’s stronghold needed was less restrictive screenings.
The less restrictive screenings were one of Senator Ted Kennedy’s final immigration gifts to America. The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act was introduced by Ted Kennedy, backed by Grover Norquist, and co-sponsored by Joe Biden, Pat Leahy, Chuck Hagel, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez and Barack Obama.
The disastrous legislation cosponsored by Obama and Biden no doubt helped ease Al-Nouri’s path.
“The United States has a clear responsibility to support these brave Iraqis who have stood by us,” Senator Ted Kennedy had insisted.
And Al-Nouri, like many other fake refugees, pretended to be one of those imaginary Iraqis. He did such a good job of pretending that under Obama, the Al Qaeda leader became a military contractor.
The Emir’s job was training American soldiers preparing to deploy to fight Al Qaeda in Iraq (the group that would eventually be known as ISIS) about Iraqi culture.
After arriving in the United States as a refugee, the Al Qaeda leader applied for Social Security disability. Refugees applying for Social Security disability payments is a popular scam that hurts Americans.
But Al-Nouri claimed to have been shot by Al Qaeda terrorists and that he had 20 bullets in his body.
The 20 bullets might have been real, but they likely came from either the Iraqi or United States forces that Al-Nouri might have fought. The Emir had not only contrived to come to America as a refugee, but to make taxpayers foot the bill for his bullet wounds that he had picked up while fighting for Al Qaeda.
Despite the Al Qaeda leader’s supposed disability, he was able to work as a military contractor in California and to open a driving school, the A-Plus Driving School, in Phoenix.
1,050 Iraqi refugees were resettled in Arizona in 2008. Iraqis were the number one refugee group resettled everywhere from Alabama to Virginia. But Arizona had the highest share of Iraqis in any state outside Michigan’s Islamic enclaves. Al-Nouri became one of 12,329 Iraqi refugees operating in Arizona.
When Al-Nouri came to this country, Arizona was accepting the most refugees per capita of any state. Money for resettling refugees poured into the state which was happy to take in Muslims from Yugoslavia, then Sudan, and Iraq. The Iraqi community in Phoenix boomed. Along with Al-Nouri.
And the problems have been growing.
Last month, the 9th Circuit Court ruled that Mohammed Mostafa Altayar, an Iraqi refugee, could be deported after he had threatened another man with a gun and assaulted him in 2014. But that sort of thing hasn’t stopped Arizona politicians, including Republicans, from demanding more refugees.
After the last September 11 anniversary, numerous Arizona representatives, including Republicans signed on to a Welcome Refugees 2020 letter, demanding that President Trump bring more refugees.
Meanwhile, in Phoenix, even as the Al Qaeda leader’s driving school was touting, “peace of mind”, the refugee belatedly attracted government attention after flying to Istanbul: a common ISIS travel route.
FBI agents questioned Al-Nouri and appeared to suspect that he might have traveled to Iraq.
Now, Al-Nouri was finally arrested for extradition to Iraq, where he is suspected of the murder of two Iraqi police officers as the leader of an Al Qaeda group operating in Fallujah. While having Iraq request his extradition may be a simpler process than trying to bring him to trial here, it’s far from easy.
Last year, the FBI busted Omar Ameen, an Iraqi refugee in Sacramento, for his role in Al Qaeda and ISIS. But efforts to send him back for trial to Iraq have been stymied by an aggressive media campaign with the New Yorker and CBS News, not to mention pseudo-conservative sites like Bill Kristol’s The Bulwark and The American Conservative, launching a campaign in the alleged ISIS terrorist’s defense.
There is every reason to think that Al-Nouri will benefit from the same defense.
Iraqis in Phoenix have already come to Al-Nouri’s defense, describing him as a popular figure in the community. They claim that they had no idea that he could have been an Al Qaeda terrorist.
That’s unlikely.
In a culture with massive extended families and tribes whose members do everything, whether it’s fighting Al Qaeda or joining Al Qaeda as a group, coming out of a major Iraqi city, Al-Nouri’s story would not have fooled everyone in his community. But Al-Nouri was far from the only terrorist to come to America as a refugee. We don’t know how many terrorists who pretended to be fighting Al Qaeda tricked the system to come to America. And we don’t know how many more are coming now.
The Pentagon, which had hired an Al Qaeda Emir to train troops deploying to Iraq, recently warned again that failing to bring Iraqi refugees to America will undermine our national security. Military brass complained that the FBI’s more intensive screenings were keeping too many Iraqi refugees out.
The number of Iraqis coming to America on special visas had dropped to a mere 3,000 in 2017.
The FBI found suspicious information on 87 out of 88 Iraqis who had been specially screened in 2018. Instead of praising the FBI for doing its job, the Pentagon complained that it was doing its job too well.
In a White House meeting, an unnamed senior Pentagon official proposed exempting Iraqis from President Trump’s lowered refugee cap.
The battle over Iraqi refugees pitted White House advisor Stephen Miller against the Pentagon. The outcome is 4,000 refugee slots for Iraqis, some legitimate refugees and some Islamic terrorists.
Most governors, Democrats and Republicans, have indicated that they will keep admitting refugees.
On a quiet desert lot, in Surprise, AZ, the horrible surprise of an Al Qaeda Emir living next door in a quarter-of-a-million house should come as no surprise. It’s just refugee resettlement at work.

Insanity, inanity reigns; this AL Qaeda a-hole’s audaciousness is not surprising. The Democrats have the same terrorist ilk as Representatives, the Jihad Squad, and more. He, like they, hates America but has the chutzpah to apply for liability for gunshot wounds acquired when he was, likely, trying or killing Americans or Israelis. The faux-Democrats would hand this terrorist a carte blanche if they had the power to do so. His and their objectives are the same, the demise of this Republic and Israel.

If you’re an atheist who still believes in the lies that all religions are the same and Christianity is just as bad as islum why not take in more muslums? Especially if you’re getting large bribery checks and or campaign contributions for doing so!

It’s really wild out there. Even some “Christians” and some “Jews” see it that way.
LOL! I guess beheading and torturing those that disagree with you is modern day updated,

Not true. I don’t know about Buddha but Muhammad did not teach love, but submission-or-else at best and kill-them-on-sight hatred at worst. Only Jesus taught and exemplified pure unconditional love.

It’s long over due that MUSLIM countries take in their MUSLIM terrorists. I am referring to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and others.

Yes,but then the Pentagon wouldn’t have them available like those in Pensacola to train our soldiers about the loving Muslims and diversity.

Two quotes from General James Mattis:
“Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them…”
“You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”

Whenever I go to the grocery store, “people of color” are lined up …. I mean LONG lines, waiting to have their turn at the bookie corner. Some poor lady that simply found a mistake, in her receipt, has to stand 20 to 30 minutes, just to get back her $1.37, as “customer service” has now turned into a betting parlor. Playing the numbers takes quite a bit of time for those “people of color”.

What is likely to occur is an outrageous attack by AL Qaeda agents already implanted in the USA which the Commiecrats and their DogFart Media will attempt to blame on Trump.

This is what happens when a nation abandons the wisdom in the Bible. Step One of MAGA would be to disband the entire State Dept. Step 2 might be to dismantle the Military Industrial Complex, and so on and so on. We have many rulers over us who are not accountable to the people.

It should be obvious to all that these invaders are not refugees! They are parasitic invaders who are on a mission to take over non-Muslim countries from within. HIJRAH = immigration jihad!

The islamic world consists of dysfunctional, totalitarian, fascist, theocratic hellhole states because these states (56 of them) are run by f’ing muslums according to the dictates of their psychopathic, child molesting, Jew hating prophet for profit. These states are the way they are because that’s the way the f’ing muslums want them!

This is what truly fascinates me. They flee it, but they are still what they flee. They are solidly faithful and loyal to the cause and the mission, regardless. It defies logic, but then again, Muslims aren’t known for their intellect.

This more result of the obamas poisoning of civilization. It is outrageous that moslem terrorists are brought into America where they receive far more benefits than our own wounded servicemen or needy. “The less restrictive screenings were one of Senator Ted Kennedy’s final immigration gifts to America. The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act was introduced by Ted Kennedy, backed by Grover Norquist, and co-sponsored by Joe Biden, Pat Leahy, Chuck Hagel, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez and Barack Obama.” This should be the list for the first hangings for treason against the American people!

It only fitting Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri And; Joe Biden share a Prison Cell and that both are sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. I’d much prefer it if it was GITMO
