![]() French media outlet changes its tune
http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegr...sy_vs_reality/ "Obama has said that the administration is moving forward with its plan to thoroughly vet and admit as many as 10,000 Syrian refugees. All three Democratic presidential candidates have said they would admit Syrians but only after thorough background checks." http://www.sfgate.com/news/politics/...16-6634189.php Ben Rhodes: "With respect to refugees, we have the most extensive security vetting that we have ever had to deal with Syrian refugees coming into the United States that involves not just the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, but also our intelligence community, the National Counterterrorism Center, so that anybody who comes to the United States, we are carefully vetting against all of our information. We have very extensive screening procedures for all Syrian refugees who come to the United States. There is a very careful vetting process that including our terrorism community, our Department of Homeland Security." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDqJ-PQS7xw FBI Director Robert Comey testified before the House Judiciary Committee that vetting Syrian refugees will be “challenging” when asked by Rep. Louie Gohmert about the quality of intelligence and information that exists on Syrians. Gohmert: Well, without a good fingerprint database, without good identification, how can you be sure that anyone is who they say they are if they don’t have fingerprints to go against? Comey: The only thing we can query is information that we have. So, if we have no information on someone, they’ve never crossed our radar screen, they’ve never been a ripple in the pond, there will be no record of them there and so it will be challenging. FBI Assistant Director Michael Steinbach to the House Homeland Security Committee about the quality of information available on anyone coming out of Syria: "The concern in Syria is that we don’t have systems in places on the ground to collect information to vet… You’re talking about a country that is a failed state, that does not have any infrastructure, so to speak. So all of the dataset, the police, the intel services that normally you would go to to seek information doesn’t exist." If they do come, they should all go to sanctuary cities. |
