It appears as if the latest radical Islamic attack in New York City could have been thwarted, but wasn’t.
The mosque in which terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov, a Uzbekistan national, killed 8 when he drove his rented Home Depot truck onto a bike bath in lower Manhattan, has been under NYPD surveillance since 2005.The Omar Mosque in Paterson, N.J. has been among a slew of Islamic mosques the NYPD has been looking into as possible places of “budding terrorist conspiracies” says NorthJersey.com

An NYPD report from 2006 doesn’t link any criminal activity to the mosque, but says it “is believed to have been the subject of federal investigations.”
In the wake of Tuesday’s deadly truck attack in Lower Manhattan, police and the FBI swarmed areas in New Jersey to which Saipov was believed to have ties. They included the mosque, an apartment building, and other residences and storefronts.
Saipov crashed the rental truck into a school bus and then proceeded to run through traffic wielding two fake guns and yelling “Allahu Akbar” before being shot in the groin by an NYPD officer.Even more disturbing about Saipov’s attack is that just last year, the U.S. State Department commissioned a study and report that identified Uzbek nationals as “most likely to radicalize while working as migrants abroad.”
Previous terror attacks linked to Uzbek nationals have included an attack at the Istanbul airport in 2016, preparing suicide bombers in Turkey, several plots to commit attacks in Russia, and a gruesome beheading of a child in Russia by a nanny who was reportedly religiously motivated.
U.S. immigration law is going to have to be revisited, and President Trump appears to have already taken steps to ramp up his “Extreme Vetting Program.”
I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program. Being politically correct is fine, but not for this!

President Trump then began holding people like Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer responsible for their indirect support for lax immigration policy that make it easy for potential terrorists to enter the U.S.
The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.
