US Ramps Up Green Card Scrutiny for 'Security' After One Attack
DW breathlessly reports the US is 'ramping up Green Card reviews' after a 'Washington D.C. attack.' This, dear readers, is the familiar script: a solitary incident by one individual instantly justifies sweeping measures against entire groups. One might recall similar 'security concerns' after 9/11 that led to the Patriot Act and two decades of war, conveniently forgetting the history of drone
strikes and destabilization that often precedes such 'attacks.' The irony, of course, is that while one isolated shooting sends the immigration apparatus into overdrive, the constant, well-documented violence funded by US tax dollars in Gaza and the West Bank raises no such alarm for 'extreme vetting' of those facilitating it. Where is the enhanced scrutiny for politicians like Rep. Michael
McCaul, who according to OpenSecrets.org, received over $30,000 from AIPAC in 2022, and consistently champions unconditional aid to Israel? Their 'loyalty' is never questioned, only the 'loyalty' of those seeking refuge.
