In November. before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. renowned counterterrorism expert Peter Bergen told the committee that "every American whos been killed by a jihadi terrorist in this country since 9111 has been killed by an American citizen or resident." Think about that. Every person who has been killed by a jihadi terrorist in this countryin Americasince 9111 has been killed by an American citizen or legal resident. Think about it. The threat doesnt come from Syrian refugees or those who travel here as tourists or on the visa waiver programs. The greatest threat to our country now comes from withinfrom American citizens and legal residents. When these young Americans carry out attacks in ISISs name. much like the Orlando killer appears to have done. they help to project the image that ISIS is allpowerful and ever present.
