Immigration boss who barred feds from terror suspect up for award, but agency won't say why

I know why. This administration didn't want it to leak out she was granted this administatration highest achievement...
I'll Do Anything To Help The Muslim Cause award. 

A U.S. immigration official blamed in a federal report for barring law enforcement agents from a suspect in the San Bernardino terror attack has been nominated for a prestigious agency award – but her bosses in Washington refuse to say what she did to earn consideration.

Irene Martin heads the San Bernardino U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office, where last December, she allegedly blocked five armed Department of Homeland Security agents from the man authorities say supplied the firepower in the deadly attack a day earlier. Although an Inspector General's report found she acted improperly, and then lied to investigators, FoxNews.com has learned she has been nominated for the Secretary’s Award for Valor.

“To give Irene Martin an award for valor is insulting to all the prior awardees – the agents and officers who truly displayed valor and risked their lives to save someone else,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy Studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based research institute.

Department of Homeland Security officials declined to say what Martin did to merit consideration for the award, which is described as “the highest departmental recognition for extraordinary acts of valor by an employee or group, occurring while on or off duty” and is reserved for “those who have demonstrated extraordinary courage in a highly dangerous, life-threatening situation or emergency under extreme stress and involving a specific act of valor, such as saving another person’s life or property.”

Doesn't everyone get an award for blocking 5 armed Department of Homeland Security agents from investigating this dickhead? 

Surprised Holder didn't snap up the guns and sell them to the Mexican Cartels.

Past valor award recipients include government employees who have saved people from burning cars, sinking ships and weapon- wielding assailants.

FoxNews.com was told the information could only be released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, which has been lodged.

Martin was blamed for touching off a turf war that came to light when whistle blowers told Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., about the tense, Dec. 3, 2015 incident. It came a day after Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook killed 14 and wounded 22 in the terror attack. Authorities believe Enrique Marquez, who had an appointment with Martin's staff when the authorities showed up, gave them the guns used in the attack.

The potential award for Martin was announced on a conference call from high-ranking USCIS officials in Washington during a staff meeting held at the San Bernardino office where Martin also was present, sources told FoxNews.com. The USCIS and the agents who had been sent to detain Marquez are part of DHS.

The nomination from Martin’s superiors was stunning to staff members because it was announced just days after a June 1 DHS Inspector General’s report found Martin improperly hindered the work of five armed agents on site just 24 hours after the attack.

Johnson held two Senate hearings about the incident in May and requested that the Inspector General’s investigation.

The report noted DHS agents were sent to the USCIS building to arrest Marquez, who authorities were frantically trying to track down the day after the terror attack at an office Christmas party. Marquez, it turned out, had not shown up for his scheduled appointment at the USCIS building, but Martin kept agents waiting 30 minutes before meeting with them, and another hour before she turned over the USCIS file on Marquez.

Marquez was eventually arrested and is being held on charges related to supplying the guns as well as marriage fraud.

Martin also lied to the Inspector General’s investigators, according to the June 6 report, about her role in what has been characterized as a turf battle. Lying to federal investigators is a felony and can result in dismissal and criminal charges.

(Not in this administration)

“We concluded that the USCIS Field Office Director at the San Bernardino office improperly delayed … agents from conducting a lawful and routine law enforcement action,” the report stated. “We have also concluded that the Field Office Director was not candid with OIG investigators during her interview.”

Arlen Morales, spokesman for the DHS Inspector General, would not confirm whether his agency had made a potential criminal referral involving Martin’s testimony to the US Department of Justice, saying the Inspector General does not discuss any ongoing work.

Vaughan suspects the award could be a further politicization of the Dec. 3 incident, which left DHS law enforcement officials furious and at a disadvantage as they tried to close in on any accomplices to the Dec. 2 terror attack.

“Irene Martin’s nomination for this valor award is scandalous,” said Vaughan.

No Surprise... it just falls in line with all the rest of them which the MSM won't touch with a 10-foot pole.

Japan - some interesting facts

There is some discrepancy about this story on the internet. Although Muslim attacks have occurred around the world can’t remember reading about one in Japan. Never really trusted Snopes, The MSM, or Tim Cook so I clicked here:

List of Islamist terrorist attacks

Unless I overlooked it there has not been one terrorist attack in Japan dating back to 1983. So they must be doing something right.

------------------------------------

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

* Hiroshima has returned to what it was economically before the atomic bomb was dropped. 

* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and indoors. 

* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics in dealing with people. 

* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do not have servants. The parents are responsible for the house and children. 

* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level because the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building. 

* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people only eat as much as they need without any waste because food must not be wasted. 

* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!! 

The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to minutes and seconds. 

* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their teeth after a meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health from an early age. 

* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure proper digestion because these students are the future of Japan. 

The Japanese focus on maintaining their culture. 

Therefore, 

* No political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan not the Ayatollah of Iran, the King of Saudi Arabia or even a Saudi Prince! 

* Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay by putting strict restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims. 

1) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims. 

2) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims. 

3) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan 

4) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught. 

5) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language. 

6) According to data published by the Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs, Muslims, who must follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry out their religious rituals in their homes. 

7) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of embassies in Islamic countries. 

8) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies. 

9) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies. 

10) In the majority of companies it is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job. 

11) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist, and even in the era of globalization they are not willing to change their Muslim laws. 

12) Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan. 

13) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole neighborhood stays alert. 

14) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan . 

15) There is no Sharia law in Japan 

. 

16) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she is considered an outcast forever. 

17) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, 

" There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded

religion and one should stay away from it." 

The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their own country. 

There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, "Honor Killings", nor killing of innocent children or anyone else. 

Japan - some interesting facts

Why Britain Left

The Brits had enough and voted to take their country back. Let the rest of the EU deal with this:

There's a lesson to be learned here. If there were millions of Muslims here like in the EU what you see above would be happening in America. Sometimes I wonder if the whole Assad/Syria debacle is an elaborate ruse to export Islam to all corners of the globe.

--------------------------------------

The force that turned Britain away from the European Union was the greatest mass migration since perhaps the Anglo-Saxon invasion. 630,000 foreign nationals settled in Britain in the single year 2015. Britain’s population has grown from 57 million in 1990 to 65 million in 2015, despite a native birth rate that’s now below replacement. On Britain’s present course, the population would top 70 million within another decade, half of that growth immigration-driven.

British population growth is not generally perceived to benefit British-born people. Migration stresses schools, hospitals, and above all, housing. The median house price in London already amounts to 12 times the median local salary. Rich migrants outbid British buyers for the best properties; poor migrants are willing to crowd more densely into a dwelling than British-born people are accustomed to tolerating.

And remember these "migrants" don't assimilate. They are a faction onto themselves in British society. Their ultimate goal is not to acclimatize but to colonize. 

This migration has been driven both by British membership in the European Union and by Britain’s own policy: The flow of immigration to the U.K. is almost exactly evenly divided between EU and non-EU immigration. And more is to come, from both sources: Much of the huge surge of Middle Eastern and North African migrants to continental Europe since 2013 seems certain to arrive in Britain; as Prime Minister David Cameron likes to point out, Britain has created more jobs since 2010 than all the rest of the EU combined.

(But at what cost?)

The June 23 vote represents a huge popular rebellion against a future in which British people feel increasingly crowded within—and even crowded out of—their own country: More than 200,000 British-born people leave the U.K. every year for brighter futures abroad, in Australia above all, the United States in second place.

Is this what we want for America?

Why Britain Left

Britain votes to leave EU

Britain finally said... fuck this we're going to regain our nationalism.

Congratulations for coming to your senses!

The European Union has been engulfed by a series of challenges in recent years, including uncontrolled migration invasion from the Middle East and Africa. Britain...you know you got a problem when the most popular newborn male baby's name is Mohammed!

And of course there's this:

Besides the obvious... how long before Greece faces another financial collapse?

They drink Ouzo while the EU pays. Kind of like the US welfare system.
