Refugee Vetting: Is Our National Security at Risk?



 

Capitol Hill Awareness
Refugee Vetting and Our National Security
By Lisa Piraneo, Director of Government Relations


Last month, ACT for America sponsored a congressional staff briefing on Capitol Hill, led by former DHS official, Philip Haney.  The title of the presentation was: Refugee Vetting: Is Our National Security at Risk?

If Mr. Haney’s name sounds familiar, it’s probably because he is the DHS whistle-blower who was tracking people affiliated with the Islamic Deobandi movement -- such as the San Bernardino jihadists, Sayed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. His work at DHS was shut down, so as not to offend the Muslim community. He has been publicly speaking out about why the U.S. refugee vetting system is dangerously broken.

ACT for America has held many congressional briefings over the years, but the response to this particular one was like none other. Two days prior to the event, I had to stop accepting RSVP’s as the room was already well over capacity. From that point up until the time of the briefing, I received 60 additional requests for attendance.

We videotaped this incredibly informative Capitol Hill briefing, which is available to you exclusively online here when you become an ACT premium member for just $25 a year. Make sure you send this email to all your friends and encourage them to join us, too. Working together, we will save this nation.

This important briefing by Philip Haney is a must-have tool to educate about how and why the U.S. refugee resettlement vetting process is dangerously broken.
We assure you what you will learn from Phil will shock you, and you will understand why it is so important for the American grassroots to speak out.

Become a premium member of ACT for America today and view this exclusive briefing for members-only (and other exclusive content like it) throughout the year. 

Considering the tremendous amount of interest by Capitol Hill in our most recent refugee briefing, we are planning another one toward the end of July — before Congress adjourns for summer recess.

Thanks to all of you, our financial supporters who make our very important work possible. We are only as strong as those who stand behind us.

With warm regards,
