Nine more refugees drown in waters near Greece

“After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the US Refugee Admissions Program”. This screening is a first step in establishing someone’s identity and whether he or she qualifies to for legal protection as a refugee.

One suicide bomber who blew himself up outside the French national soccer stadium in Paris was found with a Syrian passport, and prosecutors say his fingerprints match those of someone who passed through Greece in October.

A few European and American politicians have called for a halt to migrants coming due to security fears.

US State Department lawyers are investigating whether governors can legally block Syrian refugees from being settled in their states.

Lynch said the screening process for those considered for immigration to the United States is more stringent, relying on extensive interviews, biometric screening and the combined intelligence assets of several federal agencies.

Poland’s new interior minister has lashed out at the head of the European Parliament, calling Martin Schulz’s words about Poland’s migrant policies “another example of German arrogance”. It was language that caused political tensions between the two neighbors.

And in neighboring IL, Gov. Bruce Rauner said that the Paris terrorist attacks were a reminder of the security threats facing America. “With that said, if refugees – many who are children fleeing a horrific, war-torn country – seek and are granted asylum after a rigorous security process, we should and will welcome them in CT”, Devon Puglia, the communications director for Malloy, said in a statement. “We need all the countries in Europe to be on board”, Fleming said.

Muench said about 10 individual migrants were under investigation as possible jihadists or war criminals, after tip-offs mostly from other refugees.

Seven people were rescued, and emergency crews were still trying to recover all the bodies of the people who died from the capsized vessel, a coastguard official added.

The coastguard said on Tuesday four women were among the latest victims and that the search was still underway for two boys whose family said they were from Iraq.

It was not immediately clear how the boat overturned on Tuesday, or what the passengers’ nationality was. It also permits the president to allow refugees into the country if they could face persecution for their political or religious beliefs in their home country.

Since the beginning of the year, more than 600,000 migrants have reached Greece by sea from Turkey.
