National Security: The massive influx of Muslim refugees in Europe threatens to blow a bigger hole in U.S. immigration security through a program that allows European residents to travel here without a visa.

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) could become the Achilles' heel of homeland security if it's not reined in. The already controversial program allows travelers from Germany and other countries accepting millions of Muslim migrants to avoid visa background checks.

When the tide finally ebbs, Reuters reports that Germany could unexpectedly find itself "housing Europe's largest Muslim minority."

So many unchecked Muslim refugees should raise security alarms, but German Chancellor Angela Merkel says that there's not a jihadist among them. They're all fine young men yearning to assimilate into Western culture (though most refuse Red Cross food and supplies because they carry the symbol of the cross).

Given lax screening, it might be prudent to suspend Germany's participation in the VWP, which is open to foreign nationals who aren't naturalized citizens.

Fears that refugees are trying to infiltrate Europe to carry out terrorism or Islamize the continent aren't overblown. A leading Muslim cleric this week indicated that their true mission is to establish a "caliphate," aided by hundreds of Saudi-built mosques.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) says that Sheikh Muhammad Ayed told a Muslim crowd, "Germany is not a compassionate country" and should be exploited. He then mocked Europeans' low fertility rate, exhorting the migrants to outbreed them.

The White House has pledged to bring in another 185,000 refugees over the next two years, including as many as 65,000 from Syria. That's on top of the mind-boggling 416,000 Muslim immigrants that Obama has imported since 2010, making Muslims the nation's fastest-growing immigrant bloc.

Who will properly screen these Muslims from failed states, where no reliable police or intelligence records exist? Not the FBI. They can't even put agents on the ground in Syria. There aren't even any suitable facilities where State Department officials can interview them concerning terror ties.

Until we can get a handle on vetting all the Muslim refugees we're bringing in and gain control over the terror threats that we already have from such immigrants, we ought to suspend the VWP.
