Pakistani Doctor Came to Work at Mayo Clinic, Two Years Later He Joined ISIS
[Front Page] Do we really need doctors from Pakistan?

There is still that contingent of the GOP which says things like "let’s pin a diploma to every foreign graduate" and "we need more H1-B visas so talented foreigners can come to America."

Let’s revisit the case of Muhammad Masood, a Pakistani doctor, who came to America in 2018 to work as a researcher at the world-famous Mayo Clinic.

Masood was named a Mayo Bronze Quality Fellow and conducted clinic trials. Then he joined ISIS.

Now he’s going away for a long time, at taxpayer expense, where he can conduct research in prison.

A former Mayo Clinic research coordinator was sentenced Friday to 18 years in federal prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Masood’s attorney, Jordan Kushner, blamed his client’s action on mental illness. But Senior U.S. District Judge Paul A. Magnuson told Masood that not withstanding those issues, "First and foremost, you are sitting in this court as a convicted terrorist. That’s the way it is."

Magnuson noted that before his arrest, Masood had said: "I will kill or be killed."

While the thrust of the case involves Masood trying to join ISIS abroad, there were mentions of terrorist attacks in America.

#2 We don't need H1-B. If an American company can't find suitable American employees then maybe they should consider moving the company to Pakistan.
