AMARILLO, TX—Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 22, a citizen of Saudi Arabia and resident of Lubbock, Texas, was convicted by a federal jury today on an indictment charging one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in connection with his purchase of chemicals and equipment necessary to make an improvised explosive device (IED) and his research of potential U.S. targets, including persons and infrastructure.

Right there is a solid case for Saudi Arabia being added.
Oh wait there's a TRO so wouldn't matter if we wanted to.
Click the name of the 'defendant' and follow the links.
It's not my claim to prove.
Start digging into the report yourself, and see.

Which ones committed terrorist attacks in the United States?
This may put a lid on the recent court that claimed no terrorist activities.
We know the government lawyers didn't provide examples when asked, but I think was on-purpose.
Let's dig.

The court did not make that claim. Did it?
What did the court actually say?
What arrests have been made for terrorists attacks by anyone from any of those 7 countries since 9/11?
Was the court wrong?

People want immigrants to come here, fine.
People want refugees to come here, also fine.
But can we get a list of those people marching in the streets and wanting these people to come here?
I think they should start a list, and offer them a room in their homes and neighborhoods.
After all, they are all great people.
Wrong country.
Cool.
I would sign up if they needed a place to transition. I wonder how many people would sign a list stating that they don't want them in the country and they fear them?
Here ya go.

The question is, why do we have people in the US that want terrorists and criminal elements in the US?
Are you forgetting that domestic terrorism is caused by a lot more people that call the US home than immigrants?
Who has ever said they want terrorists in their home nation!? lol
So what is your argument, that we should bring more in? Based on what you are saying, it's a job Americans are willing to do.
I'm saying that having refugees coming into your country isn't a bad thing. Remember, they left their country because of the same people that the US citizen fears. Common ground. My argument is that it is silly (bordering on stupidity) to fear refugees.
It's not the refugees that are causing concern. It's the lack of screening, as well as the terrorists/militants from those nations that have said they want to infiltrate the refugees and kill Americans.
EDIT - Plus, for my own opinion, we have enough citizens here already that need jobs. HB1 visas need to be dropped for a while, and we need to let people acclimate to American culture.
I read a report that said the amount of money needed to bring a refugee here from Syria is the same as providing reasonable food, shelter and amenities to 11 Syrian refugees along their border. Then they are on welfare afterwards until they can establish themselves. Just easier to find them new housing and livelihood over there in other nearby countries that share the same culture and religion, but I repeat myself...

So why isn't Saudi Arabia on the list?

The information is evidently from a Senate Sub-committee.
Sounds like a bunch of Republican 'alternative facts', to me.
Riiight, a 'senate subcommittee'!?
Hahahaha!

How many terrorists came from the KKK in Alabama, or the Aryan Nation in Idaho?
For that matter how many came from Saudi Arabia, or does Trump conveniently forget 9/11?

According to a breakdown of the countries and the numbers of people who were eventually convicted of terror crimes:
Somalia: 20
Yemen: 19
Iraq: 19
Syria: 7
Iran: 4
Libya: 2
Robart’s claim is false. The White House circulated a list providing 24 examples of refugees and other immigrants from Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Syria and Libya who have been arrested on terror-related charges, Fox News reported.
The White House document itself names 10 individuals from Somalia, six from Iraq, one from Yemen, two from Sudan, two from Iran, two from Libya and one from Syria. The cases span the last eight years, and include most recently a case in June in which two Somali refugees were jailed for conspiring to commit murder in Syria on behalf of ISIS. It also includes a case from March of last year, where a Yemeni native who became a U.S. citizen was sentenced to 22 years in prison for attempting to provide “material support” to ISIS and planning to shoot and kill members of the U.S. military who had returned from Iraq.
