DHS Official Unable to Give Number of Syrians in U.S. or Number of Expired Visas

Apparently the DHS is either completely incompetent or they are reluctant to reveal the facts about Syrians in the U.S., or, it's part of a large scale takedown of the American society.

A senior Department of Homeland Security official was unable to tell Congress the number of Syrian refugees who have entered the United States in the last year and the number of Americans who have travelled to Syria and returned, in testimony on Capitol Hill that angered many lawmakers.

Kelli Ann Burriesci, a deputy assistant secretary in the department’s office of policy, could not provide statistics about immigration when the House’s national security subcommittee grilled her about potential flaws in the visa waiver program.

While lawmakers had requested that its secretary, Jeh Johnson, testify before the committee, the agency sent Burriesci instead, saying that she is the resident expert on these issues.

Yes folks we have "experts" in the executive branch of government that are playing with fire and we the Citizens are taking the heat.

100% political incompetence at its finest.

This entire Obama Administration is engaged in a massive policy agenda that extends not only to the recent Syrian / ISIS crisis, but also to past and present policies that are allowing mass infiltrations from countries South of the U.S.

Horrible Incompetence !!

As long as they continue voting 70-85% Democrat, "What Difference, at this point, does it make?"

Well they can't be bothered to keep track of the numbers, they don't have the assets.

I mean most of their time and manpower is already spent stalking American gun owners.

Well vetted, we are told that those Syrian refugees are.
They don't even know how many.
Yay.

Yes there is a concerted effort going on. To change the demographics of this country, and yes all for a VOTE.

TImes are a changing people, and not for the better.

There will be increased poverty.

There will be increased spending on government programs.

Which is the whole idea.

Make people dependent upon government.

Cloward, and Piven ALL the way.

Is not that the government has lost track is that they don't want the people specially during with the oncoming elections to know how many are already here, after all we the tax payer are paying for the refugees, housing, education, food and living expenses, let no forget that they are guarantee initial employment.

Something that many Americans in this days and times can not even afford to do on their incomes, lets no forget getting jobs.

Horrible Incompetence !!

Here is the original hearing video Terrorism/Visa Waiver program

Starting at about 2hr 11 min the discsussion specifically starts. The panel is new. The person being questioned says she will go and get those numbers, but her position does not seem to be authorized to make estimations.

One should watch the entire video from the .gov website. This was 2 days ago.


We can't go by "The Washington free Beacon" an obvious 'not good' source.

“[S]enior DHS officials told the Government Accountability Office in April 2013 that the Department had not reported overstay rates because it did not have sufficient confidence in the quality of the over-stay data, and so they said that they couldn’t reliably report overstay estimates … Why did DHS officials tell the GAO that it did not have confidence in the biographic system in 2013?”

Doesn't matter, they would just blame it on Bush anyway.

a reply to: xuenchen

Looks like you watched the Alex Jones show yesterday too...

That lady was a complete moron. Either on purpose or she is just an idiot. I'm thinking she came ill prepared to the meeting as directed by her superiors. Lord knows they probably want to keep that info and those numbers under wraps!
