This pledge was identified by Facebook and was taken down immediately. Yesterday. it was revealed that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security actually prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media postings of all foreign citizens who were applying for U.S. visas and that they only intermittently began looking at posts from some visa applicants. So imagine a situation in which you have people who are going to Syria. who are posting on social media. and you have a blanket prohibition on reviewing those social media postings. That was the state of the situation as we were trying to defend the homeland. Frankly. the failure of this administration to incorporate a review of social media posts into the visa approval process is absurd. Ignoring the online statements of terrorists who are trying to enter the United States puts our country at risk. This must fixed.
