Washington, D.C. (September 9, 2021) – There is no more important tool for preventing future attacks on U.S. soil than the nation’s immigration system. The 20^th anniversary of the attacks that claimed thousands of American lives is an appropriate occasion to reflect on the role immigration failures played in the 9/11 attacks and the progress made in limiting opportunities for future terrorism. Americans may disagree on the level of immigration, and its costs and benefits, but few would argue against the importance of keeping foreign-born terrorists out of the country and apprehending terrorists who have entered the U.S.

In recognition of the 9/11 anniversary, the Center for Immigration Studies is publishing a new report ([link removed]) by Todd Bensman, the Center’s senior national security fellow, analyzing the immigration failures which helped lead to the tragedy and examples of post-9/11 terrorists and others posing threats to U.S. interests who have weaponized travel visas and entry permits.

In this week’s episode of Parsing Immigration Policy ([link removed]) , Bensman discusses the role of immigration law in protecting the American people. He highlights the importance of the National Vetting Center and the national security implications of an open southern border. What further policy changes are needed to keep us safe?

In the closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center’s executive director and host of Parsing Immigration Policy, discusses the positive developments in immigration processing and enforcement since 9/11, as well as needed upgrades which have not been completed. He concludes by emphasizing that one of the biggest gifts for potential terrorists would be an illegal-alien amnesty, which Congress is currently considering, hidden in a larger budget reconciliation bill.
