Debate over how US should handle Syrian refugee crisis reaches Wisconsin

During testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in October, the head of the United States’ Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Refugee Affairs Division Chief Barbara Strack also noted that the agency had implemented additional security protocols for Syrian refugee applications, referring many cases to fraud detection officials for additional review and research.

The North Dakota governor’s letter, like others already headed to the White House, cites testimony by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, who told Congress of inadequacies in the system that would prevent the thorough vetting of the 10,000 refugees the administration has pledged to admit into the U.S.

“That way, we know exactly who is coming into the country because we don’t want to have a terrorist portray themselves as a refugee coming into the country”, Stutzman said.

France’s president said despite attacks on his people in Paris he still plans to allow 30,000 Syrian refugees across the nation’s borders in the next two years.

Human Rights Watch warned that the vow by the governors amount to “fear-mongering” and would “tarnish the country’s reputation as a place where resettled refugees can find safety”.

However, despite the governor’s attempt to go against the increase in Obama’s refugee plan, federal law emphatically does not give states the ability to nullify the president’s decision to increase the number of Syrian refugees in the US or determine where they reside. Cruz challenged President Barack Obama Wednesday to a debate on refugee policy after Obama suggested that an increased hard line on refugees by Republicans was “political posturing”.

Countless Syrians have fled to Europe and to neighbouring states.

According to data from the U.S. State Department, fewer than 200 Syrian refugees have been resettled in IL since 2010.

Once granted refugee status in the United States, nongovernmental organizations on contract with the U.S. State Department determine where the refugees will be sent. “While I understand the issue of allowing refugees into our country and our state lands exclusively with the federal government, I will remain focused on making sure the vetting process we were briefed on today remains the most stringent refugee vetting process in the world”. “It’s a long time they meet with us many meetings”.

Ben Carson is actually paying for Facebook ads to express how much he wants Syrian refugees banned from America.
