The United States has "a long tradition of welcoming refugees," and it expects to welcome thousands more of them from Syria in 2015 and 2016, despite concerns about foreign fighters, the State Department said.
"The United States has admitted 524 Syrians since 2011. We’re likely to admit 1,000 to 2,000 Syrian refugees for permanent resettlement in Fiscal Year 2015 and a somewhat higher number, though still in the low thousands, in Fiscal Year 2016," spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday.
But at a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee last week, Chairman Mike McCaul (R-Texas) said it would be a "huge mistake" to bring refugees from Syria and Turkey into the United States where they "could potentially be radicalized."
Snip
At the Feb. 11 hearing, McCaul said he's written a letter to National Security Adviser Susan Rice expressing his concern about refugees from Syria and Turkey:
"I've been over there and I've seen them. Yeah, most of them are women and children, but there are male actors that concern me. I think this would be a huge mistake if we bring in these (refugees) into the United States that could potentially be radicalized...We're not only trying to keep these guys, the foreign fighters, out, but under this would be a -- a federally sanctioned welcome party, if you will, to potential terrorists in the United States."

Just what we need...more muslims. Every where and time there are muslims there is trouble....world wide. How can this be stopped?
We don’t need any more Muslims. I don’t care where they come from or how peaceful they are.
They wouldn't get to kill too many Infidels that way before being stopped.
I would expect greater casualties from bombings or other more sensational strikes, like machine gunning down groups of gathered Infidels. - Bombings and automatic weapons would be what they would want to use. -Tom
Want to bet that absolutely none that the State Department approves for entering will be Christians?
Of course, must have the world wide caliphate. Sharia for all.
Block this , it’s an insane move

I expect somewhere between 30% and 50% of the Syrian “refugees” Obama allows in to this country to be ISIS operatives.
What could go wrong?
