Immigrants Caught Telling Blatant Lie For U.S. Citizenship, But Sessions Is Making Them Regret It - Duration: 3:02.
Immigrants Caught Telling Blatant Lie For U.S. Citizenship, But Sessions Is Making Them
Regret It Protecting our nation comes in many forms.
President Trump wants to build a wall to prevent illegals from entering the country.
But what about people who seek legal status?
Immigrants going through the citizenship process are held up to close scrutiny.
For good reason.
We don't give citizenship to criminals or anyone viewed as dangerous.
Why should we?
The safety of Americans is at stake.
But it looks like a handful of new citizens lied to the government about their past.
It has Sessions fuming mad.
From Western Journalism:The Department of Justice announced Thursday it is seeking to
strip U.S. citizenship from five naturalized immigrants who lied about their histories
of criminal sexual abuse during the naturalization process…
The individuals willfully concealed child sexual-abuse crimes they'd committed prior
to naturalizing, according to the federal-court civil complaints.
"Those who wish to become American citizens ought to respect our laws and seek citizenship
lawfully and honestly," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement…
The five defendants (Ricardo De Leon, 32; Christian Oribello Eguilos, 40; Carlos Noe
Gallegos, 41; Alwin Farouk Gariba, 51; Moises Javier Lopez, 42) all lied about their criminal
histories on application forms and during in-person interviews with immigration officials,
according to DOJ.
In each case, the defendants plead guilty to at least one state charge of sexual abuse
of a minor before applying for citizenship.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
I can't imagine anyone within government willing to give convicted molesters citizenship.
Well, maybe a few democrats.
It was highly unlikely that these people—who plead guilty of such crimes—would have gotten
citizenship.
So they lied about it.
Maybe, if they had been honest, the government could have seen to it that they were granted
citizenship.
Perhaps in the years since their conviction, they proved to be law-abiding.
People can reform, after all.
It would have been a longshot, given the laws, but you never know.
However, the fact that they lied raises numerous red flags.
What else might they be lying about?
Have they committed similar crimes since then, but have alluded authorities?
Maybe they are doing more than just assaulting minors.
We don't know.
And the fact that they lied makes matters worse.
Sessions has every right to revoke the citizenship of these people.
Most likely, the should have been deported for their crimes.
The fact that they earned citizenship is shocking.

End the US-Saudi War on Yemen- Call 1-833-786-7927 - Duration: 2:11.
For three years, the United States and Saudi Arabia have been waging a secretive war, triggering
the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
Saudi Arabia is deliberately using starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen, putting 8 million
people a step away from famine.
Not only does our government provide the Saudis with fighter planes, missiles, and training
for this conflict, the U.S. actively assists with target selection for Saudi airstrikes
and delivers fuel to Saudi jets in midair as they conduct bombings.
This is a US war in Yemen.
Yet it's never had any legal justification.
It's never been authorized by Congress.
It has nothing to do with fighting Al Qaeda or ISIS—in fact, it's making them stronger.
And that's why Vermont progressive Bernie Sanders has partnered with constitutional
conservative Mike Lee of Utah to invoke the War Powers Resolution to remove U.S. forces
this illegal war.
That law guarantees a vote on the Senate floor within days.
I believe that when the American people are presented with the facts, we will act to stop
our tax dollars from being used to bomb and starve innocent Yemenis simply to advance
the Saudi dictatorship's military ambitions.
Nowhere else on earth today is there a catastrophe so profound, harming so many lives, that is
so easy to resolve.
Please call 1-833-STOP-WAR to urge your Senator to vote for the Sanders-Lee resolution to
end the unauthorized U.S. war in Yemen.
We can stop the bombing and let food and medicine into Yemen so that millions may live.

S. Korea, U.S. have not discussed additional delay of joint military exercises - Duration: 0:48.
A senior member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee has confirmed that there have been
no discussions between Seoul and Washington about a further delay of the allies' postponed
joint military drills.
There had been some confusion as on Tuesday a senior staffer for Jim Inhofe said there
had been conversations on the matter.
However,... a spokesperson for Inhofe confirmed on Wednesday that the senior staffer had misspoke
and there have been no such talks.
Last month, the two sides agreed to postpone the annual maneuvers until after the end of
the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and Paralympics in mid-March in an effort to decrease tensions
on the Korean Peninsula during the Games.
But they did not confirm a specific timeline or other details, raising some possibility
for a further delay beyond April.

U.S. troops responded in kind with overwhelming
force and reports have said that over a hundred Russian mercenaries have been
killed.
As one commentator on our site said, you gotta give the Russians credit for
telling it like it is.
pushed into a fucking merry-go-round with heavy

Trump To Help After US Government Admits To Poisoning Our Military – Thousands Dying
Water is essential to life and as Americans, we expect that what we're drinking is safe.
While that's the case everywhere around the country, it was not true for our Marine
heroes and their families living on base in North Carolina while serving our country.
For years, the victims had no clue that the water they were consuming and using on a daily
basis was killing them, and now it's too late.
The government has admitted their part in poisoning thousands of America's finest
and their families for years, many of whom have died before justice could be served.
The devastation of those affected is far sweeping and extends beyond having been poisoned.
Many rely on the Veterans Affairs for treatment for this horrible illness and aren't getting
it.
Approximately 900,000 Marine Corps veterans have been poisoned by contaminated water at
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
These victims' only hope is in President Donald Trump to be the first president to
do something about it and a VA whistleblower is now being the one to pursue the president
in getting the deathly ill veterans the help they deserve.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports of what these victims were contaminated with
for years while the issue in the water was ignored:
The North Carolina base's drinking water contained toxic chemicals from the 1950s to
the 1980s.
Hundreds of thousands of people — Marines and their family members — were exposed
to the water.
The Lejeune Community Assistance Panel, administered out of the Centers For Disease Control and
Prevention offices, was created 13 years ago to share information and give those poisoned,
many who are sick, a forum to be heard.
An AJC article on Sunday highlighted complaints about recent efforts designed to help those
suffering.
Veterans and their families say programs administered through the Department of Veterans Affairs
are failing to properly notify those affected and leaving family members behind.Just as
the contaminated water issue went unaddressed for decades, so have victims' access to
healthcare and disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Those who served at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987 who had been poisoned, have already
died waiting for a response and care.
However, a suspected 500,000 more affected veterans are still living but believed to
have a much higher mortality rate than the general population.
Playing a critical part in the death rate is the lack of care they are getting and responds
to requests for help and answers from the defunct VA system which has been mismanaged,
overwhelmed, and understaffed for years.
According to the Washington Examiner:
The majority of deceased or living Camp Lejeune veterans and their family members have not
received any compensation for the health effects from being exposed to contaminants at Camp
Lejeune or for the loss of their children who were miscarried as a result of the toxic
water on the base.
Less than 20 percent of family member insurance claims have been approved by VA.
The agency has only approved 463 of the 2,519 family member claims filed between 2014 and
2017.
VA's decision not to compensate Camp Lejeune Veterans for all of the 15 known health effects
related to Camp Lejeune is in direct opposition to the findings stated in departmental guidance.
Currently, veterans who suffer from critical illnesses like neurobehavioral effects, miscarriages
and infertility, and renal toxicity receive no presumptive disability compensation.
There is no reason that Camp Lejeune veterans do not receive the same type of disability
compensation as veterans exposed to Agent Orange.
It's sad and unacceptable that prisoners in our country get better medical care while
serving their sentence than our heroes who defended and served our nation.
They are being forgotten and ignored after suffering horrific poisoning they should have
never been subjected to on an American military base of all places.
Washington Examiner reported the whistleblowers call to action:
"I strongly encourage the Trump administration to move forward with administrative and legislative
reforms to improve veteran access to healthcare and disability benefits.
The White House should resist bending to the will of disloyal false prophets who seek to
undermine the presidency by exploiting veterans concerns about privatization as means of maintaining
job security."
"The president would find that the veteran community (21+ million strong) will support
his administration, if the White House engages them directly and conveys a clear cohesive
message about its long-term goals for preserving the VA while expanding access to care for
veterans who can't be serviced by a VA medical facility in a timely manner."
Something can and should be done about this to save or at least extend the lives of hundreds
of thousands affected veterans who need someone to rely on.

Intensified Nefarious Tactics Against Us - Duration: 12:24.
Intensified Nefarious Tactics Against Us February 28, 2018
Thank you, My Precious Lord Jesus, for the sound counsel and promise of Your vigilance
over our lives if we seek You always, first.
Forgive me, Heartdwellers, we had an unexpected guest show up on our doorstep.
A beautiful woman from Korea who thought we had a community here.
In all reality, it is just my husband and myself, and this surprises so many who think
we have some kind of church or community going on.
Maybe someday.
But for now, I am working 16 hour days and our two helpers and staff members sometimes
put in 10 hour days trying to keep up with the needs of our mission on the Internet.
We basically live in 4 small rooms in a very poor adobe house, that was constructed for
migrant workers back in the 40's, in Taos, New Mexico.
There is no community here.
Just my husband and I and two people who come to work several days a week—and they work
long, hard, focused hours.
So, as you can see, we are not always in a position to offer hospitality—even though
we would love to.
Yet, some love this Channel so much, they want to live close to us.
Oh, I do understand.
But this is a very focused and hard-working mission, and we have very little time for
'visiting'.
I say this, also, because I do not want you to be disappointed if you should think that
if you came here, you would find a community and a thriving church.
It just isn't so....
Ezekiel and I love people, but our time is so limited we cannot do a visitor justice
and enjoy their holy company when they come.
Perhaps in the future, God will change that… but for now, this seems to be our lot.
And providing for you, my Heartdwellers, on the Channel is so much more different that
providing for those who show up as a visitor, without us knowing ahead of time.
As a result, I either tend to the visitor, or tend to the Channel—and that is why I've
been absent from you for two days.
I have not had substantial prayer as I usually do—another of the enemy's tactics.
But I hope that is changing.
As a result of situations beyond our control, I have not gotten the usual messages off to
you.
But I think we have it figured out for a week or so.
I think I am falling asleep at the wheel—not making any sense to myself!
Lord, help me.
Ezekiel received a substantial touch from the Lord in the direction of healing this
week.
Very beautiful.
But the Lord has instructed us that we will have to fight to keep it.
This should be a very teachable moment for all of us.
And I certainly will share with you everything that happens, blow by blow.
St. Michael lifted my chin during prayers at communion and said, "I am here with you,
little one."
Oh my goodness, no one could have said anything sweeter to me!
He is mighty, strong and powerful against my enemies.
I am little to him, and that brings me the comfort that he will protect me.
May God have mercy on my adversaries that still have hope for conversion; he is no-one
to mess with!
We are asking for special protection from St. Michael during communion, for nine consecutive
days, enlisting his mighty help and protection.
I thought to myself… intellectually, 'I know that through the communion of saints,
the Holy Spirit makes St. Michael aware of our cry for help.'
And so we have dedicated 9 days of petition, asking him for his extra special assistance.
And then I noticed—it's a full moon.
Right on time...
But to know this in the mind is not to know it in the heart and spirit.
We are such lowly creatures, how can we petition the Commander of the heavenly host to hear
our request?
Who are we, after all, but a little dust and ashes…?
But I have come to understand that it is the little ones, the lowly ones, that the angels
rush to protect.
I do not see myself as that, because I know I have plenty of unconquered pride.
But for him to say that to me?
Wow.
It makes me feel so much more confident that our request is truly being heard and responded
to.
Glory to God for all His Heavenly Servants who are so obedient and attentive!!
Jesus began speaking to me, "I would not have you to be ignorant of the spiritual dynamics
you are dealing with.
There truly is great warfare going on all around you.
The angels are quite busy taking care of everything that pertains to you, Clare.
"I will establish you in honor over this Flock.
I have chosen you to lead and will not abandon you.
Clare, the wisdom I endow you with will reach out to others and bless them.
Do not worry, My Beloved.
Are we not one?
"Now, I will tell you that you must fight to keep this healing.
The devils are very clever and will do everything in their power, pitiful as it is, to cause
your faith to flounder.
Do not allow this.
Take a firm stand from the beginning in dealing with them; don't give them any room to cause
compromise.
Be steadfast and firm.
Do not give way to any suggestion that says he is not healed.
I have indeed heard your cry, My Beloved.
I have indeed healed him.
Rest in this.
But you will have to fight for it."
And I think what the Lord is talking about here is, lying symptoms.
We can get a healing, but the enemy can come back with Lying symptoms to try and make us
think that we didn't get the healing.
So, we have to be able to discern the lies of the enemy from the Truth.
And I'll tell you - the enemy is very good at acting on the body and making you think
you're sick.
He is VERY good at that.
And it's all a phantom and a lie.
It's just electrical impulse being put in different places to mimic an illness.
The Lord continued, "You are under attack in many different ways, Clare.
It is as you said: a delicate balance in showing hospitality and still being faithful to those
who are awaiting a word from Me.
Yet may I say to you all, Heartdwellers—I have called and equipped you through this
Channel to be getting your own words everyday.
And when Clare is absent to you, I am present to you—and will not fail to answer those
who are willing to wait on Me as she does.
"All of you have the same access to Me that Clare has.
This is the very heart of her mission to you—that none should go without hearing and understanding
Me clearly.
Yes, there are many pitfalls to understanding My will, but I have addressed all of them
in her previous messages and teachings.
"That is My way of saying, 'Beloved ones, you have been equipped to hear Me... if you
will just put forth the effort.'
"But what I am wanting to stress to all of you right now, is that there is a particularly
intense battle going on to steal from you your very special destinies and missions.
The enemy has launched an all-out effort to deprive you of your callings.
"The distractions and tactics will come in many different forms, and forewarned is fore-armed.
Not all that seems bad is bad; not all that seems good is good.
Each thing must be discerned on an individual basis.
This is at the heart of following Me faithfully and living in My Divine Will.
Constant attentiveness and discernment are necessary to navigate these shark-infested
waters.
"For those of you who play chess, you know that all is not as it appears to be.
There are constant hidden factors in each event, and only your paying close attention
to Me will forewarn you of the hidden implications and traps.
"I have attended to each of you with great care, teaching you sensitivity when danger
is in the air.
I have taught you also how to interpret the times and movements of My heart—to look
at the small details, but keep in mind the greater picture, because your enemy knows
well how to play on your vulnerabilities.
"But this also a new season, a time of new tactics unseen in your lives before."
Yeah.
You know, I was just thinking about that.
When I put up the binding prayer, the enemy gets to see exactly how we are praying.
I just don't know any other way to convey it to you without making it public.
Jesus continued, "As you become more and more attuned to the movements of the enemy, the
Adversary is training them in different ways to defeat you.
Therefore, you must be on guard constantly, thoroughly discerning each event on its own
merits or demerits.
"Clare, when you see cracks around the edges, those things that don't settle right in
your spirit, pay attention and make note.
The devils cannot cover thoroughly their tracks.
They are bound to slip up, and when I draw your attention to something, there is a reason
for it.
Make note.
Do not discredit your observation or write it off out of charity.
Take note and wait on Me for further revelation.
"Now, you know what I am referring to, do you not?"
Yes, Lord, I think I do.
"Well then, take note and pay attention.
Do not judge any person; judge behavior and it will give you great insight without doing
violence to a soul.
I have taught you all: do not judge a person's motives, but do look for fruit, as well as
results—and in what direction they are weighted.
Does this action lead to selflessness and ministry?
Or does it lead to selfishness and disorder?
You, My children, can tell so much by observing the choices others make.
Do they choose for My good, or for their own good?
Are they focused, or are they wandering?
Not all of this is what it seems to be on the surface.
"And to those who ridicule this approach—I would say to you: be on the alert, lest you
fall through presumption and thinking that you know, when in fact—you do not know.
There is so much to learn about people and events—and prudence and brotherly love are
at the top of the accurate discernment list.
"Seek Me in all things and do not rely on your own understanding.
"I love you, My Brides.
I am bringing you to maturity.
Walk humbly and cautiously through the days ahead.
Cleave to Me and seek My wisdom always."

It's sad and unacceptable that prisoners in our country get better medical care while
serving their sentence than our heroes who defended and served our nation.
They are being forgotten and ignored after suffering horrific poisoning they should have
never been subjected to on an American military base of all places.
Washington Examiner reported the whistleblowers call to action:
"I strongly encourage the Trump administration to move forward with administrative and legislative
reforms to improve veteran access to healthcare and disability benefits.
The White House should resist bending to the will of disloyal false prophets who seek to
undermine the presidency by exploiting veterans concerns about privatization as means of maintaining
job security."
"The president would find that the veteran community (21+ million strong) will support
his administration, if the White House engages them directly and conveys a clear cohesive
message about its long-term goals for preserving the VA while expanding access to care for
veterans who can't be serviced by a VA medical facility in a timely manner."
Something can and should be done about this to save or at least extend the lives of hundreds
of thousands affected veterans who need someone to rely on.
