This isn't unreasonable.

Sayfullo Saipov and ISIS Flag

Terrorist Sayfullo Saipov is feeling good, so good that he wants an ISIS flag in his hospital room.

Saipov killed eight people. Clearly, he's proud of what he accomplished and pledges his allegiance to ISIS.

From FOX News:

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that Sayfullo Saipov was "consumed by hate and a twisted ideology" when he ran down dozens of people on a New York City bike path, killing eight people and injuring 12 others.

Saipov, 29, was charged with providing material support to a terrorist group and committing violence and destruction of motor vehicles in Tuesday's attack, in which he drove a rented Home Depot truck down the path near the World Trade Center site.

Law enforcement officials described the initial charges as "holding charges," meaning that more are expected to be filed.

...Prosecutors said Saipov had 90 videos and 3,800 photos on one of his two cellphones, many of them ISIS-related pieces of propaganda, including images of prisoners being beheaded, shot or run over by a tank.

Saipov left behind knives and a note, in Arabic and English, that included Islamic religious references and said, "Islamic Supplication. It will endure," FBI agent Amber Tyree said in court papers. "It will endure" commonly refers to ISIS, Tyree said.

Questioned in his hospital bed, Saipov said he had been inspired by ISIS videos that he watched on his cellphone and began plotting an attack about a year ago, deciding to use a truck about two months ago, Tyree said.

During the last few weeks, Saipov searched the internet for information on Halloween in New York City and for truck rentals, the agent said. Saipov even rented a truck on Oct. 22 to practice making turns, and he initially hoped to get from the bike path across lower Manhattan to hit more pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge, Tyree said.

He even considered displaying ISIS flags on the truck during the attack but decided against it because he did not want to draw attention, authorities said.

This guy could not be clearer about his purpose.

To pretend he's other than an enemy of the United States is ridiculous.

Sayfullo Saipov and Diversity Visa Program

How did terrorist Sayfullo Saipov enter the U.S.?

He came here under the Diversity Visa Program, the creation of Chuck Schumer.

From Conservative Review:

WABC-NY reports: "Authorities say he came to the United States seven years ago from Uzbekistan under what is called the Diversity Visa Program, which offers a lottery for people from countries with few immigrants in America."

He didn’t fly over on an air force or sail over on a ship sponsored by ISIS and al-Qaeda or some foreign nation-state. We let him in through our front door, just like we did with the 9/11 hijackers.

This is an idiotic program.

From Newsweek:

The suspect for the deadliest terror attack in New York City since 9/11 reportedly entered the United States under a visa program that President Donald Trump has tried to end as part of his crackdown on immigration.

Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old Uzbekistan native, was awarded a permanent resident visa in 2010 under the Diversity Immigrant Program, ABC New York reported. The program is meant to increase the number of immigrants from countries with low rates of U.S. immigration. The program awards 55,000 green cards a year, a majority of which go to people in African and Eastern European nations, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Thanks, Democrats.

President Trump has responded:

In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person. Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE U.S.A.!
