Security experts say US attempt to link terror and immigration 'skews the data'

National security experts were quick to note that the report did not distinguish which people were brought to the US for trial versus those who had immigrated there first. The report also included people who were charged with terrorism-related offenses carried out overseas.

“It’s an awfully thin report for an absolutely important topic,” Karen Greenberg, director of Fordham University’s Center on National Security, told the Washington Post. “There’s almost no rhyme or reason to the things they choose to include or not include – they don’t explain it.”

Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, criticized the report for failing to introduce new information. “It’s remarkable that, given almost a year to produce such a report and with the vast resources of the federal government combined with reams of government information unavailable to the public, that they were able to produce a report of so little of value,” he wrote for the thinktank.

In the Cato Institute’s own analysis of terrorism, it found that from 2002 to 2017, native-born Americans were responsible for 78% of murders in terrorist attacks in the US.

US Immigration doesn't actually discriminate countries tied to terrorism but according to socio-economic background and economic ties. Because if that is the case, Gulf State countries won't have free pass to USA.

The fact that Saudi Arabian citizens have virtually free pass coming over to USA and other 1st world western nations.

If you are rich, you are free to come over to USA regardless if your country is the HQ of terrorists! It's all about money
