A top White House adviser said Sunday that President Obama still plans to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees even as Republicans insisted that it's all but impossible to stop terrorists from hiding among the migrants.
"We're still planning to take in Syrian refugees," Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said on "Fox News Sunday."
One of the terrorists in Friday's deadly attacks on Paris reportedly may have used a Syrian passport to enter Europe with a flood of refugees, but Mr. Rhodes expressed confidence in the background-check system.
"We have very robust vetting procedures for those refugees. It involves our intelligence community, our National Counterterrorism Center, extensive interviews, vetting them against all the available information," Mr. Rhodes said.
Rep. Peter King, the New York Republican who heads the House Homeland Security intelligence subcommittee, called that statement "untrue."
"There's virtually no vetting because there are no databases in Syria. There are no government records. We don't know who these people are," Mr. King said on "Fox News Sunday." "And when you meet with the people doing the vetting, they tell us that."
"They [the White House] are rolling the dice here, and we know that ISIS wants to bring in terrorists with these refugees," Mr. King said.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is seeking the GOP's presidential nomination, agreed that "the problem is not the background checks, the problem is that we can't background-check them."

Bump.
The jug-eared jackass and his minions will own the consequences of his madness.
The jug-eared jackass and his minions will own the consequences of his madness.
They are the architects of the horror that’s coming..
I’ll second that emotion.
Another way of vetting would be, for every male Syrian refugee, there should be one woman and three children. No single or newly married males under 21. Another choice would be “women and children only”. Then there’s, ‘Stay in your own country and help rebuild it’. America has enough problems, we don’t need new ones.
NOT ONE THIN DIME TO INFLATE ‘INTELLIGENCE’ BUREAUCRACY IF DING DONGS IN DC BRING IN 100,000 SYRIANS.
If Obama wants to get into snake handling, that’s fine.
But the rest of us don’t want anything to do with it.
We’ve already been accepting a lot more than that from Syria per year for the past several years... so this whole debate is totally meaningless.
“President Obama still plans to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees.”
What a guy. Can the white hut house them? I hope so.
Amen to that, FRiend.
He interrupted jeopardy fri night to stammer in glassy eyed puppetry to stammer. Bla bla bla uh. Uh I I I I. Ah uh not going to speculate
Interrupted hi phone call trying to get more sharia observers over here.
You can kill me. Literally...I am never going to change my mind about you now simply because of this issue. YOU have got to leave office BEFORE your term is up. It is now a matter of principle. Those charged with the trust of the public FAILING to present articles of impeachment against you are committing treason against this nation.
I’m surprised he is still breathing.
I don’t give Jack Doodle Squat Fizzle Squirt about Barack
Hussein Obama’s LEGACY! - I don’t want anyone to be hurt or
killed in his quest for his dam* legacy!!
“ISNâT there ANYTHING we can do to stop this??????”
The very first thing we need to do is for everyone to stop talking as if everything that Obama decrees is a done deal. We need to oppose him in every way and everywhere that we can. It’s probably going to require those who are able to simply stand and bar the way of these murderers trying to enter our communities. It’s a sure bet that the military or law enforcement isn’t going to be keeping foreign invaders off our soil. They’ve already let thousands pour over the southern border. What other choice will we have? There are thousands of them so it’s likely to require thousands of us. I wonder if enough of us will be willing. Just sitting in place is going to get us more hurt than we could ever imagine.
Good Lord, is there NO OPPOSITION party to stop this??
Why on earth have I been bothering to support the Republican Party all these years???
They aren’t smart enough to come up with these corrupt schemes and they don’t care one bit to stop the evil folks who do.
Impeach this idoit NOW! Dereliction of duty.
He’s better be able to vouch for the behavior of each and every one of them. For the next 30 years, at least.

-- In Islam, the practice of concealing ones belief and foregoing ordinary religious duties when under threat of death or injury.-- Lying to non-Muslims in advance for Islam is allowed till Judgment Day Quran 3:28, 16:106
-- It is fine to deceive the infidels. They are just pigs anyways. In fact, al-Taqiyyah of the Qur'an compels protection of Islam by deception.
