This past week Senator Sessions released a list of recent
immigrants/refugees who had engaged in terrorist actions against the United
States of America. His list was far from complete. I am adding an additional 14
immigrants/refugees to his list. My list, like his, is far from complete.
Please keep in mind that those listed here are not listed for engaging
in actions that would only kill one or two. Their goals were much more
devastating.
(If you have others you would like to add to this list that were
arrested after 9/11/2001 please do contact me with the information. I will
credit your contribution and add them to this list.)
