Tennessee Senator Bob Corker Not Concerned With Vetting of 10,000 Syrian Refugees Coming to the U.S.
Breitbart ^ | October 29, 2015 | Michael Patrick Leahy

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?”

“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,”

“there was nobody on the primary ticket worse than Corker...

there is no lessor of two evils..its still evil...”

One could argue that Corker(and others, like Ryan) are GREATER evils. If you know right from wrong, and you proceed with evil, and do it merely for a payoff later, there is no “lesser evil” here.

We don’t seem to be able to vet 10,000 potential ISIS muslims who are entering our country yet the TSA mandated that a 90 year old lady doff her blouse and undergarments because she kept her extra cash in a safe place. There is something gravely wrong with this picture.

I guess he’s not worried since he wasn’t worried about writing an unconstitutional bill to water down his own power to approve treaties. My dog isn’t worried about vetting the thousands of godless muzzies coming here either Bob.

Guess who’s going to send them all back Bob? Your worst nightmare President Trump.

The Politicians have spent all the Social Security funds sent in by Citizens.

The Politicians are trying to cover there corrupt errors by bringing in illegals and muslims

Once again, on behalf of all my fellow Tennesseans, I apologize for sending this waste of skin to Washington.

Can we send them all to Chattanooga?
