Pe ion for no Syrian refugees to the U.S.

[SpursforSix]

Would you allow guns to be sold to a white man when if there is a chance he uses the gun to shoot up an elementary school?

yes. now answer my question.

[hater]

In that case, you have nothing to worry about.

officer Jones. You're a ing fraud

Attorney General Loretta Lynch insisted on Tuesday that the Obama administration has the ability to run effective security screenings on Syrian refugees, despite testimony from the FBI last month indicating it may not be possible to run these security checks.

FBI director James Comey said checking refugees against the database wont do anything if we have no data on these refugees

yes. now answer my question.

I wouldn't do that in any cir stance. Has nothing to do with any probability.

You made no mention of any databases when you voiced your concerns. But good on you for finally trying to learn something on your own.

Where did you find these two quotes? I've seen both, I just want to know where you found them.

[SpursforSix]

the Obama administration has the ability to run effective...

you can pretty much add an "" no matter what you put at the end of that

[hater]

Lol fraud pretending to know about that . Yet he said nothing to worry about

[ChumpDumper]

I knew all about that. Those quotes have already been posted on this board. I told you you have nothing to worry about according to your criteria.

Besides, there are already ~2000 Syrian refugees here -- did you even know that? Are you scared of them?

[hater]

Sure you knew fraud

The U.S. has one of the most robust security screening processes in the world for potential refugees.

Many European countries will accept a refugee application based simply on a case file. The U.S. system works much differently.

Fewer than 2,000 Syrian refugees have been admitted to the United States since the start of the Syrian civil war. Though the Obama administration said the United States will accept 10,000 refugees in 2016, the complex process takes an average of 18 to 24 months.

Many of those refugees who would be approved in 2016 are already going through the security-screening process and upon completion will enter the U.S. next year, according to a senior State Department official.

Some have raised concerns this fall that even the level of security that the United States applies to the process is not sufficient enough to actually keep extremists from entering the country.
Secretary John Kerry told Congress earlier this year that the plan was to engage in “super vetting, I mean an extraordinarily level of vetting.” He added that if the FBI wasn’t satisfied, he was “quite confident that people aren’t going to be allowed in.”

To gain admittance into the United States, a Syrian must clear all these steps:
Multiple high-level security checks
Biometric screening
A mandatory interview with the Department of Homeland Security
A medical screening
A cultural orientation program (which consists of videos on housing, employment, education, and hygiene, among other topics)

Several of the checks remain current for only a certain period of time, but to qualify for entry into the United States, a potential refugee must have approved status for each step at the same time.

For instance, the medical screening is valid for only six months, and most security checks expire after 15 months.

In October, both Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and FBI Director James Comey raised the challenge of being unable to vet all Syrians against existing intelligence information.

JOHNSON: Chairman, I am concerned that we do the proper security vetting for refugees we bring into this country. We’ve committed to 10,000, and I’ve committed that each one will receive a careful security vetting.

It is true that we are not going to know a whole lot about a lot of the Syrians that come forth in this process, just given the nature of the situation. So we are doing better at checking all the right databases in the law enforcement and intelligence communities than we used to, and so it’s a good process and it’s a thorough process. But that definitely is a challenge.

COMEY: I don’t think I have anything to add to Jeh. I think he describes it well. We see a risk there. We will work hard to mitigate it. Our challenge will be, as good as we have gotten ourselves at querying our holdings to understand somebody, if the person has never crossed our radar screen, there won’t be anything to query against, so we do see a risk there.

White House says Obama would veto proposal for more scrutiny of refugees

President Barack Obama would veto a proposal from Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives for additional scrutiny of refugees from Syria or Iraq, the White House said on Wednesday.

"This legislation would introduce unnecessary and impractical requirements that would unacceptably hamper our efforts to assist some of the most vulnerable people in the world," the White House said in a statement.
The proposed requirements "would provide no meaningful additional security for the American people, instead serving only to create significant delays and obstacles in the fulfillment of a vital program that satisfies both humanitarian and national security objectives," the White House said.

Read some Dems might be on board with the more scrutiny stuff... perhaps they can get a veto-proof law passed...

all of sudden, for STRICTLY DIRTY OBSTRUCTIVE POLITICS, the Repugs decide USA's extremely complicated, time-consuming refugee vetting is insufficient.

All the Repugs EVER want to do is stuff up, esp stuff from Obama.

The proposed law would shutdown the process, not apply more scrutiny.

did you hear ANY Repug talk about changing refugee processing before this week?

Well no ing nothing was said until now I wonder ing why

Opportunistic scaremongering and another opportunity to claim Dems are soft on terror is why, tbh.

I already called it its because of the incoming votes tbh. It's all about votes

Syrian refugees haven't killed anyone, legal gun owners kill thousands. Pretty sure you're against shutting down gun sales.

Pussy.

Is that a yes you are fully confident in the screening process?

Syrian refugees haven't killed anyone. No system is foolproof
Are you fully confident in the gun screening process which has failed innumerable times, or do you think it should be more stringent?

[Th'Pusher]

Of the 8 suspects named, none were refugees and all had EU passports

I've always said the gun screening process should be more stringent and laws on the books should actually be enforced and be penalized heavier.

You have confidence in a refugee screening system that draws off of minuscule amount of data compared to our gun screening process?
