I would prefer to not outsource my homeland security to Harvard's background checks. Lol... I don't think they're looking for the same kind of things, or have the same kind of resources to spot potential threats to our nation (not saying that this kid necessarily is). 

His family can't afford it, your article states he got a scholarship from AMIDEAST to study here, but that's not even my concern. Records and all that are so shitty over there, so you want to be extra sure. He is part of a people who don't have a country, but have two different governments. I highly doubt that Palestinian paperwork and record keeping is on point. Then you throw in a factor of us not knowing exactly what was said by his friends. They could be reposting US soldier decapitation videos, or they could be retweeting Trump saying covfefe, or it could be anywhere in between. It's admittedly pretty pointless to speculate one way or the other without more information.
