Extreme Vetting

[OldDog]

I have only heard snippets, but the fact that the WaPo has rushed to brand it as crazy and outlandish tells me that I'll probably like it.

Any who wish to settle here from places like syria
already go thru extreme vetting. Its why the process has taken so long, two years.

So because the process is slow it is extreme?

it takes 2 years to get approved because of how in depth it is. not sure how many more agencies could possibly get involved to make it 'extreme' according to trump.

the guy is clueless about everything. I don't know how he could actually fix a damn thing.


While more than 1 million refugeees arrived in Europe in 2015, the U.S. accepted less than 2,000 Syrians, all of whom were required to go through countless interviews and background checks as part of U.S.'s two-year screening program.

In an interview with teleSUR last November, Syrian refugee Amena said that she, her husband and her four children made it to the United States after “lots of interviews,” “lots of paperwork” and two years of trying. After arriving, she was asked to pay back the cost of her flight.


“Refugees undergo more rigorous screening than anyone else we allow into the United States,” the blog notes.

Refugees files would have to go through nine different U.S. agencies before passing the screening process and be considered for resettlement.

I don't understand the logic here considering Syrian refugees infiltrated so lets reduce the time

Thats the original story linked to, from yours. Those being resettled apparently have been out of syria, and living in jordan for years. Since before the war, before isis. There is no way they would do that with just anyone. The reduced vetting time is for only these in jordan who have been there for years.

Their first point of a refugee's contact is with the U.N. High Commission for Refugees. The UNHCR refers people to countries based on whether they have any family members there and where resettlement makes the most sense, say U.S. officials. If that's the U.S., then refugees are vetted by the National Counterterrorism Center, the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center, and the Departments of State, Defense and Homeland Security. Fingerprints are taken, biographical information is collected. They are then each individually interviewed by U.S. officials trained to verify that they're bona fide refugees.

That was then. This is now:

But it’s hard to imagine how questions about gender roles or terrorist leanings would help prevent dangerous people from entering the U.S., said one former immigration official.

“If someone really was coming here to do us harm, do we really believe they would answer that question honestly?” said Doris Meissner, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute and commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service under former President Bill Clinton.
