Despite Obama's Claims, We Are Not Able to Properly Screen Syrian Refugees (Gohmert op-ed)
PJ Media ^ | Wednesday, November 18, 2015 | Rep. Louie Gohmert

Posted on 11/18/2015 7:32:08 AM PST by kristinn

There is truly a war taking place throughout the world. Radical Islam is at war with Western civilization that is not currently part of its caliphate. Though the Obama administration is out to convince you that there's no war, or that climate change is our country's biggest threat, the bloodbath in Paris proves the contrary without doubt. Though we are not engaged in defending ourselves fully, the one-sided war goes on, allowing our enemy to get stronger and more radical.

America is now faced with a stinging reality, one that threatens the very heart of our national security. President Obama has instructed his administration to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into our country without any real standard of document authentication or actual database of information that would allow us to effectively vet these people.

We have been told repeatedly by this administration that these refugees entering the United States have been vetted, and that we are simply providing aid to the vetted moderate Muslim Syrian refugees. However, FBI Director Comey revealed a different story in a House Judiciary Committee Hearing recently.

When pressed about a fingerprint database, he stated that it will be "challenging" to vet those Syrian refugees who have "never crossed our radar screen."

Think about that: no data, and no way to authenticate people or documents through a Syrian government the Obama administration has been trying to overthrow.

With the slaughtering of innocent lives at the hands of Islamic radical terrorists worldwide, we should be extremely alarmed at the thought of tens of thousands of improperly vetted refugees entering America.

Here is the important point: Obama is going way out on the limb by insisting that everything is all hunky-dory. So, if anything goes wrong and Americans are hurt, he will own full responsibility as commander in chief.

Can you name ONE thing that Obama has owned once it blew up in his face?

"Are you with ISIS?"
"No."

"Promise?"
"Yes."

"Cross your heart and hope to die?"
"Yes."

"Here's your visa."

Obama’s strength is the fact that people are mostly programed to believe things that others tell them. Even after all his lies and outright deceptions, it still seems ‘normal’ to most to believe that the President of the U.S. is not a liar when the evidence clearly says otherwise. If somehow that tendency could be over come. Perhaps if ISIS really were to stage an attack in D.C. it might help to remove the vail - but I still have my doubts. I can just see the headline from the N.Y. Times, “No 3yr. old orphans or widows found among jihadists attacking D.C. Metro station. Obama’s statement still stands!”

I believe the 2016 election and the advent of Donald Trump has changed the equation. Public opinion is very solidly against accepting any Syrians so a single terrorist incident in the US in the next 8 months could very well insure a Trump or Cruz victory.

Out on a limb???? He is lying...."you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" that is lying...no way to authenticate people or documents through a Syrian government the Obama administration has been trying to overthrow...the Obama administration IS trying to overthrow our Capitalist government and that is not going out on a limb, it is obvious to anyone with a brain.

911 and the queeran are all the screening needed!

Ship em all back! Ban the queeran!

We fought a civil war to end slavery. We should NOT let it return under the cloak of "religion"!

The floating bet from the Current Occupant is that he will be out of office and in some secure exile before the first of the terrorist strikes directly attributable to the “Trojan Horse” importation of Islamic Jihadists terrorists occurs.

Then it will all be his successor’s fault. Just like all the blunders of Clinton got shifted to Bush-43, and every misstep of the Current Occupant went badly only because “his hands were tied” by decisions made by the same Bush-43.

Democrats will NEVER own responsibility. It would be “too much of a burden for one man”.

Or woman.

Fully responsible? You’re kidding right? As Kerry explained, there will be ‘legitimacy’ given to future attacks from OUR ‘unwelcoming’ attitude today. Thus, it will be OUR fault.
The concern I have is the cultural invasion we’re allowing. Particularly the misogyny. Reports of the male refugees throwing women and children overboard greatly disturbs me. (Local history of Somali clitoridectomies: CPS’s final determination was it was ‘cultural’ and had to be done under clinical direction. Made me sick) Honor killings, attacking women who are not properly covered, etc.

Wish I was confident in that, but from what I've seen over the past seven years he would blame George W. Bush, the media would back him up 110% on that, and at the end of the day the majority would buy it.

These are the same idiots who can’t identify domestic lunatics with firearms who commit mass murder.

But he is expending a huge amount of political capital. Then again, do the voters really care. Just as long as they get their free stuff.

Ya, but we won’t forget and we will place the blame exactly where it goes.

Agreed. It is horrible!

And my concern is that they will not assimilate like in Paris and greater France. Every year or so the city is overrun by marauding bands of rioters burning cars and destroying property. Hey, wait that happens here in the States too.

Maybe they can compete with each other to see who can destroy their cities faster.
