Weird coincidence?

My understanding from reading the news at the time, is that thousands did not get out. In situations like that, when survival means getting out, you drop the names of people you helped and if you helped, they speak. I suspect we will find out, if and how he was vetted, and if not classified, who spoke approval to get him out.

Reading between the lines - there is something else going on with this situation.

The Afghani is probably a mentally ill person who may have been able to help the US military in Afghanistan, or wherever. He may have been recently evaluated (June 26) and found to be mentally incompetent to care for himself, now. He may not know who he is, and the FBI, Secret Service, and whatever else may be able to use his identity and the supposed crime to catch the organization of such terrorism. Whether it is foreign or domestic, I am not satisfied with what I am hearing from the President, or from any other source.

I learned that he yelled something else, but neither was confirmed at the press conferences or any other first-person reports.

Yesterday trump orders all refugees admitted in the Biden Administration to be reviewed, basically re-vetted, and removed with no ability to appeal if they don't like the results. Even current green card holders.

Today one of that group reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" and shot 2 National Guardsmen thus providing the trump administration with exactly the story they need to whip people into an anti immigrant frenzy?

Trump administration to review status of all refugees admitted under Biden

The decision would potentially affect more than 200,000 refugees, including those who are green-card holders.

In conditioned reality, nothing happens by coincidence. Both lobbying and dark money can and do shape immigration policies, often substantially. They are major behind-the-scenes political actors that shape Trump's immigration policies. No coincidence! lol.

Short list — groups, tactics, and motives

- America First Policies / Republican-aligned outside groups (dark‑money ad buys, PACs)
- Tactics: undisclosed TV/radio/digital ads, mailers, independent expenditures.
- Why: promote Trump’s border-security and immigration-enforcement agenda to voters and pressure lawmakers.

- Border-security contractors and defense/security firms (e.g., subsidiaries of companies like Lockheed‑style suppliers; industry trade groups)
- Tactics: lobbying, industry trade‑group campaigns, funding of policy research and closed advocacy.
- Why: secure government contracts for walls, surveillance, drones, detention infrastructure; expand border enforcement budgets.

- Conservative policy and advocacy groups (some operate with dark‑money funding or donor networks) — e.g., Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), NumbersUSA‑aligned groups
- Tactics: grant funding, coordinated ad/PR campaigns, policy papers, behind‑the‑scenes coordination with lawmakers. Funding often flows through donor-advised funds and nonprofits that don’t disclose donors.
- Why: advance restrictionist laws, limit legal immigration, boost enforcement and deportation policies.

- Hard‑right media and political organizations (super PACs and nonprofit networks)
- Tactics: dark‑money ad buys, funded rapid‑response media campaigns, opposition research, state‑level spending.
- Why: mobilize the political base around anti‑immigration messaging, protect Trump’s political coalition.

- Some wealthy individual donors and foundations (channeled through 501(c)(4)s, donor‑advised funds, LLCs)
- Tactics: large, opaque donations to groups running ads, think tanks, and legal challenges; fund litigation and grassroots operations.
- Why: ideological commitment to stricter immigration, law‑and‑order priorities, or political influence.

- Business interests using opaque spending to influence specifics (select agricultural, construction, or tech actors via trade groups or intermediaries)
- Tactics: lobbying, dark grants to advocacy coalitions, targeted state/federal campaigns.
- Why: shape visa programs, enforcement priorities, or carveouts that serve employer labor needs while avoiding public scrutiny.

Representative evidence and reporting:

• OpenSecrets and ProPublica investigations document major dark‑money flows, independent expenditures, and trade‑group lobbying around immigration in 2016–2024.
• NGO reports (e.g., Transnational Institute) and investigative journalism tie border‑security contractors to lobbying and advocacy pushing militarized border spending.
