President Obama’s own Homeland Security Secretary has snubbed him by refusing to go along with his outrageous plan to lift a decades-old ban on Libyans attending flight schools and training as nuclear scientists in the United States.
As unbelievable as it may seem, the commander-in-chief and his State Department schemed to lift the prohibition despite strong congressional opposition. In fact a final regulation was recently approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Judicial Watch wrote about it just weeks before the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans, including first diplomat to be killed overseas in decades, were massacred so the timing could not have been worse.
But a group of Republican lawmakers were determined to halt the dangerous plan one way or another. They even introduced legislation, which quickly earned bipartisan support.
Something evidently clicked for Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who rebuffed his boss byassuring Congress that he would keep the Libyan ban.
At a House Judiciary Committee hearing this week Johnson confirmed that he would not lift it at this time, “given the current environment.”
The lawmakers behind the effort to keep the status quo issued a joint statement praising the decision and Johnson’s common sense over Obama’s foolish plan. “Given the ongoing terrorist activity in Libya, there is no reason that the Obama Administration should have ever contemplated lifting a decades-old ban on Libyans coming to our country to train as pilots or nuclear scientists. The fact is that Libya’s government remains unstable today and the country is becoming more dangerous as rival rebel groups battle each other for control of Libya’s cities.”
