51cLfk9RH6L[1]Ten years ago, Paul Sperry's book Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington  was published.I read the book, which is very informative, but in his policy proposals at the end, Sperry did not call for an end to Muslim immigration.

In his latest Perspectives piece at Investor's Business Daily, Sperry has called for such a proposal. The piece is unsubtly entitled  Muslim Immigration Poses National Security Threat.

Apparently, Sperry is also for a general immigration shutdown, which we need anyway.  Here's what Sperry has to say:

France, Belgium and now even liberal Denmark regret letting in so many immigrants from Muslim countries. Their swelling Islamic communities have become breeding grounds for terrorists. So why is the U.S. opening the floodgates to foreign Muslims?

The threat Muslim immigrants pose to homeland security was not addressed during the White House's three-day summit on terrorism.  Instead, Vice President Joe Biden assured Muslim groups gathered during one session that the "wave" of Muslim immigration is "not going to stop."  Wave? More like a tsunami.

Between 2010 and 2013, the Obama administration imported almost 300,000 new immigrants from Muslim nations — more immigrants than the U.S. let in from Central America and Mexico combined over that period.  This is a sea change in immigration flows, and it threatens national security.

Many of the recent Muslim immigrants are from terrorist hot spots like Iraq, where the Islamic State operates. From 2010-2013, Obama ushered in 41,094 Iraqi nationals from there.

Now the State Department says it will quadruple the number of refugees brought here from Syria, where IS is headquartered.  The U.S. will admit as many as 2,000 Syrian nationals by the end of fiscal year 2015, up from 525 since fiscal 2011.  Yes, the number of displaced people inside war-torn Syria and Iraq, an estimated 3 million refugees, rivals the most in Mideast history. But rolling out the welcome mat for them in the middle of a mushrooming war on Muslim terrorism is dangerously shortsighted.

Top U.S. counterterror officials say terrorists could easily slip into the country from Iraq and Syria, in spite of promised screening procedures for such refugees.

"Screening procedures"?  What sort of "screening procedures" does the Obama administration have in place?
"It's clearly a population of concern," National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen testified this week.  House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul called the new policy "a federally sanctioned welcome party to potential terrorists."

That's no stretch. If just a fraction of the 300,000 new Muslim immigrants already here follow in the footsteps of the Franco-Algerian brothers who recently terrorized Paris, we could be facing chronic terror in our cities.

The main homeland threat from groups like IS comes through our immigration system. If they also use our loose policies as a vehicle for jihad and Islamization, we will face the same crisis as Eurabia.

I recall when we were training to go to Iraq, hearing the hackneyed  expression "If we don't fight them over there, we'll have to fight them over here."  Guess what, they're already over here!
The British press is reporting that IS has threatened to release a huge wave of migrants from Libya across the Mediterranean disguised as refugees to cause chaos in Europe. Who's to say they aren't setting a similar immigration bomb for America?

Authorities can't even get a handle on homegrown IS jihadists who are already in America. Why would we risk adding so many potential jihadists from abroad to the already overloaded terrorist threat matrix?

The FBI director says he's got open cases against IS suspects in every state but Alaska. More than 100 American Muslims have hooked up with the vicious terror group in Syria or Iraq, and at least a dozen fighters already have returned to America and may be forming sleeper cells to attack the homeland.

Get that, every state but Alaska.
These suspects are hard for agents, who already are overstretched, to monitor. They've discarded their Islamic beards and garb and have blended into society. Analysts suspect some may have even infiltrated the military and government.
Actually, Sperry wrote a whole book about that phenomenon, see above.
While America ushers in Islamic immigrants, Europe is pulling up the welcome mat. In recent months, both France and Britain have proposed imposing curbs on immigration out of fear of importing more terrorists. The bills will likely pass in the wake of the Paris massacre.  Thanks to mass immigration from North Africa, France's Muslim population has swelled to 6.5 million, or 10% of its population. More than 1,000 French Muslims have joined IS. A recent poll found that 27% of French Muslims ages 18-24 support the Islamic State.

Growing pockets of radicalism are spreading in towns throughout France. There are "no-go" zones for non-Muslims and even local authorities, not just in Paris but all over the country.  Authorities say that they've lost control of the situation. Muslim attacks on police and synagogues are now regular events.

Similar problems are cropping up in Germany. After an influx of Syrian and other Muslim immigrants, a recent poll found that 40% of Germans say they don't feel at home in their own country thanks to "Islamization."

America will no doubt suffer the same nightmares if its Muslim population is allowed to reach a critical mass.

Well, Americans are already feeling that way due to "Hispanicization".
At current immigration rates, and barring a much-needed moratorium, our Muslim population will more than double over the next 15 years, hitting about 6.2 million in 2030, according to a recent Pew Research Center study — "in large part because of immigration and higher-than-average fertility among Muslims."

Fifteen years from now, Pew found, America will "have a larger number of Muslims than any European country" except for France and Russia.

If you think this huge influx of foreign Muslims will assimilate and adopt Western values, you haven't been to Alexandria, Va., or Dearborn, Mich., or Minneapolis recently.  They resemble little Cairos, with their Arabic store signage, halal butchers, hookah bars and even blaring calls to prayer from mosque minarets. Such cultural diversity might be quaint if not for the fact these heavily Muslim immigrant enclaves are also breeding grounds for terrorism. More people from Dearborn are on the federal terrorist watch list than from any other American city except New York.

Recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Brussels and Copenhagen by Muslims operating with support from those cities' swelling Muslim immigrant communities are an ugly reminder that Muslim immigration doesn't bring the kind of diversity once cherished in the West. It leads to violence and Islamization.

All this raises serious national security concerns. But the White House is too busy defending Islam and portraying the Muslim community as victims of "discrimination" to consider them.

Why can't politicians speak like this?  The only national-level politican I know of who has called for a halt of Muslim immigration was Virgil Goode when he was still in Congress.
