Obama administration still plans to accept Syrian refugees

“Yesterday’s horrific terrorist attacks waged against the innocent in Paris serve as a grim reminder that we must remain ever vigilant in the fight against terrorism, not only around the world, but here on USA soil”, Miller said.

“While the USA has a long history of assisting refugees from across the globe, we must not lose sight of the significant threat posed by ISIS fighters who seek to exploit our generosity and do this nation irreparable harm”.

Rhodes, who is traveling with President Obama in Turkey, said there would be “very robust vetting” to “sort out that foreign fighter flow”.

State officials said that no Syrian refugees have been relocated in Alabama to date, though a few have been processed by neighboring states. “They are women and children and orphans of this war”.

He said there has also been testimony before his committee warning about the national security risks of allowing the program to bring in men of military age to the United States, who could kill Americans.

He made those statements on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The chairman of the house Homeland Security committee, says it’s time for congress to send a definitive message to ISIS.

GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson told “Fox News Sunday” that the United States is making a “huge mistake” in accepting the refugees and instead called for helping them to resettle in safer parts of their own region. “We’re not going to put a hundred USA combat troops on the ground, nor should we”.

“You can’t pick up the phone and call Syria, and that’s one of the reasons why I said we won’t be able to take more refugees”, Rubio said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, took aim at ISIS, during Saturday’s presidential debate.

“I think maybe reluctantly they will change”.
