Keep the Refugees Coming

Just poor, innocent folks seeking a better life.

It’s sad that as an atheist, I espouse more Christian actions and beliefs than you.

From your own article:

According to resettlement agencies in the United States, the U.S. vetting process is one of the world's toughest that has allowed in 3 million refugees since 1975 with not one arrested for carrying out a lethal terror attack on U.S. soil.

Most applicants spend at least three years being interviewed, undergoing biometric checks, medical exams, and filling out paperwork. Cases are screened by the Department of Defense, FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies.

After they are resettled, refugees continue to undergo security checks in the United States for five years or more.

The Trump administration added requirements, including longer background checks and additional screenings for females and males between 14 and 50 from certain countries, including Iraq. It also drastically reduced the annual ceiling of refugee arrivals to the U.S. from 110,000 to 45,000.

Nayla Rush at the Center for Immigration Studies said nothing will make the program 100 percent safe.
