Music and movie icon Cher spoke out on her verified Twitter account about the Great Muslim Migration of 2015, expressing concerns about the visa waiver program making it easy for ISIS fighters to travel to the U.S. and kill Americans. Cher also relayed the fears of her friends in European Union nations, saying in Twitter shorthand, ‘None feel safe. Too many young Muslim men.”

Cher’s concerns about the visa waiver program are confirmed by officials, according to a Reuters report about the Obama administration taking steps in the wake of the Paris terror attack this month:
“U.S. officials have quietly acknowledged that they are far more worried about the possibility that would-be attackers from the Islamic State or other militant groups could enter the United States as travelers from visa waiver countries rather than as Syrian refugees.
The U.S. government routinely takes 18 to 24 months to screen would-be Syrian refugees before they are allowed to board flights to the United States.
In contrast, an estimated 20 million people fly to the United States each year from visa waiver countries such as France and Britain.
Officials have acknowledged that a European traveling to Syria to train with a group like Islamic State might be able to later enter the United States without significant scrutiny, if they are not already known to U.S. intelligence or partners such as Britain’s domestic intelligence agency MI5 or France’s DGSI.”
