Tashfeen Malik, the female terrorist involved in the San Bernardino attack should have never been granted an American visa.
Tashfeen Malik was issued a visa after she failed to provide required information.
Fox News reports:
The application file for San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik’s fiancée visa reveals her American husband provided the U.S. government with minimal evidence to prove their relationship – yet it was good enough for immigration officials to approve her visa.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who alleged over the weekend that immigration officials “did not thoroughly vet” Malik’s application, publicly released that file on Tuesday.
The 21-page file includes the application form itself and just two sets of documents to prove Malik and American husband Syed Farook had met in person in the two years prior – which is a visa requirement.
The documents were:
A statement from Farook saying they had first met in person in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, during the Hajj pilgrimage in 2013.
Copies of their passport pages containing visas for Saudi Arabia and stamps.
The document seemed to back up Goodlatte’s assertion that the file was thin on evidence. Malik and Farook killed 14 people in the Dec. 2 terror attack.“In order to obtain a fiancée visa, it is required to demonstrate proof that the U.S. citizen and foreign national have met in person,” Goodlatte said in a statement. “However, Malik’s immigration file does not show sufficient evidence for this requirement.”
He said “what is worse” is that the U.S. officials reviewing the application apparently requested more evidence to demonstrate they’d actually met “but it was never provided and her visa was approved anyway.”
Trump’s temporary ban on Muslim immigration is sounding better every day.
