Obama's State Dept: Members Of Terrorist Groups Wouldn’t Automatically Lose Their Passports
Obama's State Dept: Members Of Terrorist Groups Wouldn’t Automatically Lose Their Passports
Being a member of a terrorist group is apparently not grounds for revoking an American passport, Trace Gallagher reported tonight on “The Kelly File.”
On Sept. 2, when asked if joining a designated terrorist group is something for which you can lose your passport, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said, “It’s not as black and white as that.”
But yesterday, State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said that being a member of a designated terrorist organization “does not automatically mean your passport will be revoked.”
Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney was on “The Kelly File” to discuss this issue.
“If you are a member of a terrorist group, you are aiding and abetting the enemy. Aiding and abetting the enemy is treason against our Constitution. So it would seem to me that automatically, even without having a trial, that your passport should be revoked. Automatically,” he said.
McInerney said we need legislation to clearly delineate “that you don’t go to Syria to study the Quran and be a member of a terrorist group.”

“We have a problem and we need to get it fixed,” he said.

When I say I can't be shocked again by something Obama and his people do, I am wrong. It never stops this being shocked.

Of course they're not going to loose their passports. They need to be able to come back here and apply what they learned fighting in the Middle East. This way, Americans will become so fearful, they'll surrender their freedoms to the government in exchange for security.
