White House pushes back on governors and US House over Syrian refugees

“Refugees face the most rigorous screening of anyone who comes to the United States”, he said. House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul has called the president’s plan to bring in Syrian refugees a “federally sanctioned welcome party” to potential terrorists because the screening process is so inadequate.

But objection to accepting Syrian refugees is divided into three parts: fear, politics and prudence.

According to Vox, more than half of the nation’s governors said they oppose letting Syrian refugees into their states. It was provided to the Globe on Monday.

“I can’t imagine fleeing from terrorism and violence, only to be told that I’m too much of a security threat to be admitted into the United States”, said Albright, whose family fled Czechoslovakia in 1948. The White House has deemed the measure unnecessary given existing protocols.

In the past few weeks though, we’ve heard an very bad lot of people suggest that the best way to keep America safe is to prevent any Syrian refugee from gaining asylum in the United States.

The most controversial ideas – from Donald Trump waterboarding a database to register Syrian refugees and monitoring Muslim mosques.

-A referral by the UNHCR to the USA, after which a resettlement support center contracted by the State Department conducts interviews, collects documents and initiates a security check conducted by the U.S. government. “The process is multi-layered and intensive, involving multiple law enforcement, national security, and intelligence agencies across the the federal government”.

-A referral to US Citizen and Immigration Services at the Homeland Security Department, which oversees refugee status interviews and additional security vetting with a focus on security checks. I believe this means the clearance process probably will be sped up so these refugees will be admitted on Mr. Obama’s watch and to ensure they can not be blocked by the next president. They showed us once again the depths of the terrorist’s depravity.

Baker’s office did not respond specifically to a request from the Globe for comment on whether the letter alleviated his concerns about Syrian refugees.

The governor of Midwestern IN state is being sued over his decision to block Syrian refugees from resettling IN the state. “On the contrary, we have refugee movements because of tyranny, of conflict and of terrorism”.

None of this is to excuse the deplorable rhetoric and nativism at the extreme of the anti-refugee movement.

“The disruption in Syria doesn’t even make it possible to vet people the way you’d normally vet people”, Blunt says. Kerry and Johnson described that as a “modest commitment” given that the figure represents less than 1 percent of the estimated 4 million Syrian refugees in the world, and that other countries are taking many more than the United States. “Absolutely not”, said Rand Paul, (R) Presidential Candidate. “Parisians opening their doors to anyone trapped in the street, taxi drivers turning off their meters to get people home safely, people lining up to donate blood”, he said.
