Obama Plan to Cut Refugee Screening Time Raises Concerns About Terrorism
Free Beacon ^ | 5/3/16 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 05/03/2016 5:07:28 PM PDT by Nachum

An Obama administration plan to resettle a greater number of foreign refugees in the United States by expediting the screening process is drawing concern from Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are warning that the administration is not capable of properly screening these individuals for ties to terrorism.

The Obama administration has committed to bring at least 10,000 Syrian refugees onto American soil in fiscal year 2016 by accelerating security screening procedures from 18-24 months to around three months, according to sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

Obama administration officials told the Free Beacon that they remain committed to the plan, despite warnings from the FBI and other law enforcement officials who say the federal government is not equipped to properly vet these individuals within that timeframe.

The administration is committed to moving forward this year with a plan to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees and 85,000 refugees overall, officials said.

Lawmakers are pressing the State Department and White House to reconsider the plan, arguing that critical security concerns should be addressed before it is implemented.

He will ratchet it up because he’s leaving, we need to track him down like a dog when he’s out of office and begin the process of prosecuting him and his kabal for crimes against the American people.

When did THAT fact ever stop the politicians from doing the wrong thing?

I could agree with that, but unfortunately, laws do not apply to the elitists.
If that doesn't work, he will pardon himself and all his minions, for any and all crimes. He can't pardon himself, some might say? Who is going to stop him?

I begin to wonder what would happen if Obama just starts importing vast quantities of Muslim “refugees” in the last months of 2016. I don’t mean the current announced 10,000 or even 100,000, but something more like Merkel’s original plans for Germany. What if Obama starts to bring in a million for instance? Who would stop him? Congress has shown itself worthless and Obama, looking at the rise of Donald Trump might just decide to swamp the USA all at once.

A rush job in Germany, Sweden, and other European nations has resulted in a “fundamental transformation” of the countries into something unrecognizable that even Obama couldn’t accomplish here yet. So, he has to play catch up here.

Why even have a screening process?

There are thousands of vacant houses all over the country.

Just move them in.

Da Kenyan needs to get the freeloading invaders in here in a hurry if Clinton is going to have a chance in November. The commie ‘RATS still have to teach their newly arrived maggots how to vote. We’re not talking rocket scientists here.

Yes, twice no less, and many of those imbeciles would vote for him for a third and fourth term. Doesn't speak well for these chumps, does it?
