I just received an email from the White House from the DHS Director about the vetting of refugees with the following text.
"Since the attacks in Paris, many have asked about our process for admitting Syrian refugees into this country.
I understand the anxiety that many Americans are feeling right now. And as Secretary of Homeland Security, I share with President Obama the top priority of keeping the American people safe. So let me be clear about what this process of vetting and resettling refugees looks like.
It's important to remember, we're focused on admitting the most vulnerable Syrians -- this means mostly women, children and families. Second, anyone who applies for and is approved for refugee status in the United States, including Syrians, must first go through a rigorous security screening process."
Watch this video I narrated to see exactly what a potential refugee goes through to resettle in the U.S."
Does this video change your views about accepting the Syrian refugees in large numbers into this nation?

Just watched this video...doesn't jive with what I've seen on all the big news networks. Most of the Syrian refugee video shows "fighting aged males, 17 to 45" trying to bum rush the borders of many southern European countries. It is a rarity to see women, children and the elderly in these mad rushes to invade a country through an undefended border.
As far as the United States "vetting" anyone, how is that even possible, when they put major human rights violating despotic nations on the "human rights" commission? The UN is patently ant-American, anti-democratic, anti-action, and completely corrupt. Who's in charge of the UN 'security screening process?' Other nations, some most likely with strong anti-American tendencies. If our State Department is heavily staffed with Muslim representatives, how can we depend on them to filter out the "good" and "bad" Muslims?? What about consideration for the Yezidis, Christians, moderate Muslims, and homosexuals?? These are the true minorities in the region that are being persecuted, tortured, sold into sex slavery, murdered, crucified in the streets, and thrown off the top of high buildings all of this with the full support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).... Don't these truly endangered people deserve the highest priority??
I have zero faith in the federal government in properly screening and vetting the 10,000 potential Syrian refugees earmarked for the United States. My hometown is scheduled to receive 250 to 300 refugees within the next year. We are already having suspicious contacts with Afghani refugees - they have little regard for our way of life, no respect for women, and put others at risk throughout the community.
I am not xenophobic; I have met many honorable and decent immigrants who have integrated well into American society and are doing their very best to make it on their own. Most have become productive members of the community and many hope to become American citizens. My fear is that our government will continue to allow unvetted refugees to continue to flow into our country until we lose our identity as Americans. What happens then??

I haven't seen it but that was never my issue with this. I don't want the government to pay for it, if private groups pay let's bring them in.

23,000 referred but only 2,000 found safe to admit into the U.S. Let's, see, let me do the math...2 guzinta 12 is 6; 3 guzinta 6 is 2; forty'-leven guzinta thirty-twelve, uh...only [login to see] % of the refugees were safe to merit admittance? 99.01+% the U.N. referred were disqualified???
