I don't see how this is a good thing. The bill just formalizes the process of saying they are vetted, and then...lets them in.

I abhor this at a fundamental level, because these people CANNOT be vetted in any way whatsoever. Anyone who says they can be vetted in any way, shape, or form, is ignorant, politically motivated, lying, or all three.

What are they going to do, call a police office in some small town in Syria and say "I have Hashim Muhammed here, and he says he isn't a terrorist and hasn't done anything to disqualify him from entering our country. Do you have any information on him? No? Okay, good. Mr. Muhammed, you are good to go. They say you aren't a terrorist, you say you aren't a terrorist, and that is all we need. Welcome to the USA."

There isn't even any Police Station to ask.

This idiot Paul Ryan is playing semantic games. The answer should just be a flat out "NO."

All immigration from Muslim countries should be stopped until the war is won or we have a clue about what we’re dealing with.

That said I’ll take anything that moves the ball down the field...
