Senator Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) 48% says he’s not concerned with the vetting of the 10,000 Syrian refugees coming to the United States.
“Are you concerned with the refugees coming here in the next 12 months? Are you concerned about the vetting process?†talk show host Dan Mandis asked Corker on Nashville’s WWTN radio Wednesday.
“Well, I’m not, because we are going to vet them,†Corker said.
Corker’s claims that the 10,000 Syrian refugees the State Department plans to grant entry to the United States in Fiscal Year 2016 are being properly vetted is in direct conflict with FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee last week.
As CNS News reported:
“We can only query against that which we have collected, and so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interests reflected in our database, we can query our database til the cows come home, but … there’ll be nothing show up, because we have no record on that person,†said Comey…
Ranking member Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) 19% asked Comey, “Mr. Director, before this committee, [FBI] Assistant Director [Michael] Steinbach said that the concerns in Syria is that we don’t have the systems in place on the ground to collect the information to vet. That would be the concern. Databases don’t hold the information on these individuals. Is that still the position of the department?â€
“Yes, I think that’s the challenge we’re all talking about ...snip... we can query our database til the cows come home, but we’re not gonna—there’ll be nothing show up, because we have no record on that person,â€

A cage for this one.
Make sure all 10,000 “refugees” are camped out around Bob Corkers home.
PRIMARY HIM!
Vetting that many people with the zero amount of information needed to vet them in the time allotted to evaluate them is an impossible task. It won’t happen.
There are plenty of states with a Bob Corker. Ours is named John Cornyn.
and once again I can say that I have never voted for the traitor..
nor for Alexander..
Alexander was in his 2nd term as Gov when we moved to TN...
Here we have refugees in Germany, parading in towns and waving the ISIS flag, and good 'ol Corkster is not worried.
Could be that Bob is not worried since they're not coming to Tennessee. Right Bob? not your problem? Right?
A cage for all of them. No exceptions. Thats a core principle of ECT ;)
It’s amazing how effective liberals were at shutting down the survival instinct of their adherents. This idiot is a prime example of ‘diminished capacity” if there ever was one.
We primaried Lamar! in '14. But, we had a third knucklehead siphon off votes that should have gone to Joe Carr.
So you’re saying that whole “Lesser evil/no mater what” thing was a bad idea huh? Well, we tried warning people. People knew better.
10,000...20,000... 50,000... 100,000... 200,000 ...
pick a number of ‘refugees’ you are admitting that you are going to lie to us about and stick with it.
I will never understand what your point is.
Having had to put up with my own destroyers from California, I can identify with your thoughts there.
They may not be in my party, but they do come from my state. It’s an embarrassment.
bttt
Tent cities should be erected in his lawn and neighborhood so that he can show his compassion where his mouth is. They should be made to live within their decisions.

Exactly.
Time for Corky to go.
It’s not hard to understand. You are here apologizing for a lesser evil you sent to DC.
You previously were of the opinion that we had to elect GOP no matter what because the Dem was supposed to be worse. Obviously when a Pub adopts the identical position to a hard left democcat, they are no better.
Now you or anyone else cannot have it both ways. People were either correct to send liberal Republicans to power or they were not.
This is an example of a “what” in thethe “no matter what” that was acceptable. So why apologize for something that was once just fine? It is not complex math.
In the choice of a RINO or a Democrat....vote Democrat every single time. At least you won’t feel defrauded by the Democrat there....he’s doing what he promised. It’s your own party’s apparatus that brings the RINOs to the top of the list.
