Homeland Security Chairman Warns U.S. Doesn't Have Proper Vetting System For 10,000 Syrian Refugees

Yesterday the White House announced the United States will take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees under instruction from President Obama.

"The United States, at the direction of the United States, has played a leading role in addressing the dire humanitarian crisis in the Middle East and North Africa," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday during the daily briefing. "One thing that the United States can do is to begin to let more Syrian refugees into the United States. This year, this fiscal year that will end this month, the United States is on track to take in about 1500 Syrian refugees. The president has directed his team to scale up that number next year and he's informed his team he would like them to accept, at least make preparations, for 10,000 refugees."

Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Michael McCaul is expressing grave concerns about the move and is warning that the U.S. doesn't have the systems in place through Homeland Security or the FBI to properly vet refugees coming from the terrorism hotspots of Syria and Iraq.

“The President wants to surge thousands of Syrian refugees into the United States, in spite of consistent intelligence community and federal law enforcement warnings that we do not have the intelligence needed to vet individuals from the conflict zone. We also know that ISIS wants to use refugee routes as cover to sneak operatives into the West. I implore the President to consult with Congress before taking any drastic action and to level with the American people about the very real security challenges we face," McCaul released in a statement. "It is heart-wrenching to watch innocent Syrians fleeing the violence in their country, and we can do more to help. But the best way to solve this crisis is at the source. The President needs to develop a real strategy for victory to defeat ISIS and remove Assad from power, which is the root cause of the problem. This is the culmination of a failed foreign policy to deal with the threats and now we have a humanitarian crisis on our hands.”

As McCaul mentioned, ISIS has vowed to use the refugee crisis to infiltrate western Europe and eventually, the United States.

That was my first thought. Where are the women and children? You see these types of pics in the M.E. sharia type areas. Right after they say they have been attacked by Jews or Americans or even Assad, then and only then do you see women and children in photos, crying or bleeding or dead. All women covered from head to toe.

Ellis Island is the country’s historical immigrant screening site.

On second thought, maybe Gitmo will work out ok, as well

What difference does it make? The Islamist in the WH wasn’t vetted.

The only thing Homeland Security can do right is to harass Americans and their children

Plenty of lumber up there in Alaska to build cabins for the “settlers” and plenty of game to feed “the hungry, huddled masses,” words, I’m afraid, which will come back to bite us on the arse.

I've been seeing photos from the get go on this and they're all showing massive amounts of young men....the media though attempts to locate the families and few children there are to make this appear as a humanitarian effort....not to mention the men are saying they simply left their families home and will bring them later....later after what?

These Muslims are coming from Africa...the Congo... as well as all the way south....Europe is now talking about creating a designed "route" from South Africa to the Mediterrainian in order to re-distribute them safer and have more control over where they go...astounding foolishness on International Leaders..to say the least

Let us pause to reflect what we've got in the WH

Obama's half brother Malik---a Muslim Brotherhood activist---
holds up a pic of Obama in Muslim dress (left), taken on an earlier trip to his homeland.

They've already detained Islamic Militants in these groups.......

In Hungary, the major entry into Europe....police faced a rebellion by illegal migrants,...though the police have done their job in a remarkable way, without using force, the press plays these events as if the police are the attackers...here they attempted to distribute food but the refugess refused to get in lines...so the volunteers threw some of the food over the fence to them...but the news reported how terrible the Hungarians were treating these people by throwing food AT them....

They Placed refugees in enclosures to contain another rebellion.....remaining there just a couple of hours.....One official stated......

..... 'I can see policemen who have been performing their duties for months, trying to take care of 23,000 migrants arriving 'continuously' 'day by day' while there is ..."NO-COOPERATION WHATSOEVER ON THE REFUGEES PART"......the police are not trained to deal with Muslims culture nor their habits....communication is impossible regardless of the few who speak broken English...p>

The police and military are forced to use face masks and helmets because the refugees are throwing urine and feces at them...and s forced to restrain them into these areas.....the refugees brought media with them who travel in their groups....who continually play the refugees as victims of brutality...which is not the case...it is the other way around...but Europe wants this portrayed as a humanitarian effort...

Yes... I posted photos on another thread showing those guns and ammo they hid beneath so called “Syrian Refugee Aid”.....there were 7 crew members with no documentation regarding this shipment who were from Egypt Africa and Middle EAst.........the ship though came from Turkey who their authorities said it was being sent to Libya to assist in the conflict there.......but again no documentation which Turkey well knows is more than necessary.

U.N. refugee agency announced the deployment of hundreds of ‘pre-fabricated homes ‘to central and southeastern Europe.

Makes you wonder why this international effort could not have gotten every street person off the streets world wide.....but of course this is all about mass re-distribution of people....watch all wages drop....just a matter of time.

Europe wants a ‘multicultural world’ with no borders and 'one authority'...currently Germany is the main power because the EU doesn't quite have it's ducks in a row as a unified entity....but they will and we'll see the rise of a powerful ten league nation struggling for power as evidences already....all run by Globalists...... We are living witnesses to entire worlds landscape being changed to accommodate this rise......

I said sometime back they were moving out the young men in Africa etc...so the armies fighting there would fail....then they can go in after the resources and develop the countries as they want.

Same with pulling all the Muslims out of Syria....watch what happens in Syria now most of the people are out....the Sauds and Iran will put out the call to all the Muslim Warriors to seize the big prize.....(Syria)....and they'll let them gather their then flatten the entire nation with bombs until it's only ruins. Falsely believing they have eliminated terrorist thugs.

Obama has no interest in vetting anyone.

This headline on 9/11? Who is running this country?

It's the Muslim Brotherhood. Nothing else makes any sense.
