Congress: United States fails to stop most people trying to join ISIS

Several dozen of the fighters have made their approach again to america, the report stated.

“30,000 foreign fighters, 5,000 Western passports, hundreds of Americans have traveled there”, Congressman Mike McCaul chairman of the Homeland Security Committee told MSNBC on Tuesday.

“Despite concerted efforts to stem the flow, we have largely failed to stop Americans from traveling overseas to join jihadists,” the task force determined in its report.

The report found that authorities have failed to interdict the majority of Americans who have traveled to join foreign conflicts.

As of July, the IS – also identified as Daesh, ISIS and ISIL – has brought in million to million dollars each month through its smuggling of oil and gas throughout Iraq and Syria.

More than 25,000 foreigners have flocked to war-torn Syria and Iraq since 2011 to fight with Islamist terrorist groups including the Islamic State Group, according to the Congressional report.

Obama, at the summit, said that ISIS poses a threat to the United States and the global community and that all instruments of power will be used to defeat it, a White House statement said. So the USA government claim to have killed ten thousand ISIS fighters or personnel during the previous year of military bombardments seems not to have done irreparable damage to either ISIS’ ability to maintain its control in those areas it rules in Syria and Iraq, or to its fighting capabilities. Even if they don’t come back to U.S. shores, they seek to continue radicalizing others by way of the internet. More than 250 individuals from the United States have also joined or attempted to fight with extremists in the conflict zone. In addition to fizzling their financial income, the State Department said opposing the militants would help preserve cultural and historical sites that would otherwise be looted and destroyed, such as Syria’s Palmyra earlier in September.

Numerous findings in the report echo concerns previously presented by the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including successful efforts by the Islamic State [Daesh] to find recruits via social media.

It says the administration doesn’t have a strategy to prevent the overseas travel, or to identify all of the people who want to return to commit terror attacks.

A new bi-partisan report shows Minnesota is tops in the USA for ISIS recruiting.

“These are real threats, requiring real solutions and commitments,” said Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-California).
