It's Going To Be Really Hard To Adequately Vet Syrian Refugees Say Racists...In The Obama AdminstrationAdvocates for resettling tens of thousands of Syrians in the US say the process is robust, thorough and extensive. But in the end the reality is you can only check people's backgrounds against the information you have and when it comes to Syrians we don't have much. Don't take the word of a crazy rightwinger who is clearly afraid of women and children, take the word of Team Obama. But one of the senior administration officials at Tuesday’s briefing acknowledged the limitations inherent in screening refugees from Syria, where it’s very difficult to determine something as basic as an applicant’s criminal history. Here's FBI Director James Comey testifying before Congress last month. FBI Director James Comey, flanked by the nation’s top intelligence officials, admitted to the House Homeland Security Committee Wednesday that for some of the 10,000 Syrian refugees the administration has agreed to allow into the U.S., there will be no basis to vet them through the databases it uses to determine if they have ties to terrorism. And here's DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson also from last month. “We’ve gotten better at that over the last couple of years, but it is a time-consuming process and one of the challenges that we’ll have is that we’re not going to know a whole lot about the individual refugees that come forward.” The "gotten better" part is important because, let's just say there's a lot of room for improvement in the screening process. Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan. Oops. And keep in mind, we were in Iraq for almost a decade. We have a lot more information about the people there and access to government records than we'll ever have on the Syrians. Yet we still couldn't properly screen them. Even if we could screen all the applicants with 100% accuracy it still doesn't mitigate the risk. We're going to be creating a huge pool of potential recruits. Let's be honest, some of these refugees won't like the US, we'll decide someone saying something mean about them is an insult to their religion that must be avenged or will just get bored. That's when the idea of jihad will sound interesting. Think that's just crazy racism talk? Well, it's happened before in refugee circles. Again, don't believe the crazy righwinger, believe Team Obama. Six Minnesota men who appeared in federal court Monday are charged with providing support to a terrorism organization, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. The men were arrested in Minnesota and California on Sunday. Emphasis mine. But it will be totally different THIS time. Because...shut up you cowardly racists. In other news, French President Francois Hollande announced his endorsement of the fascist Marie Le Pen to succeed him in the 2017 French presidential election. Speaking to French mayors after the raid, Hollande warned against reprisals targeting the nation’s Muslim community. He added that refugees in France are also victims of the same terror, adding that he is committed to taking in 30,000 new refugees over the next 2 years. RIP The Western World. It was a good run. | Recent Comments
