Email: U.S. Had Forces Ready To Defend Benghazi On Night Of Attack Judicial Watch has recently released an email from the Department of Defense on the evening of September 11, 2012 that indicates the DOD did in fact have forces available to respond to the terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

When asked about the Obama administration's lack of military response to the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Panetta claimed that "time, distance, the lack of an adequate warning, events that moved very quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response."

Trump's call has been met by a chorus of outrage and hand wringing on both sides of the political aisle. The White House has gone as far as to say it "disqualifies him from serving as president." But is the idea as novel as many would like you to believe? The truth is that there have been a number of instances in which the United States has curtailed or suspended the immigration of people from certain regions or nations, both during times of war and times of peace. In several circumstances, these laws have been upheld by the Supreme Court, confirming the power of the Federal Government to regulate immigration based on the national interest. Here are the four previous times the U.S. stopped immigrants from a particular group...(continue reading)
