Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly offered his takeaways from the terrorist attacks in Brussels earlier this week.

O’Reilly argued much of this could have been prevented if not for European governments’ policy decisions on immigration and on policing.

“So to repeat, [Obama] is not going to use American resources to defeat ISIS,” O’Reilly said. “Second thing we’ve learned: Europe is in chaos. As you know, millions of mostly Islamic refugees are pouring into Western Europe. Nobody knows who they are, nobody knows what they’re doing. In Belgium where the bombers struck this week intelligence agents cannot tap telephones, they cannot look into computers, and police are restrained from raiding private homes from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. And Belgium wonders why it is a terror target? The incredible laxity on immigration and the ultra-liberal policing have made Europe the easiest target in the world for ISIS. And believe me if the far left had its way here, we’d be just like Belgium.”
