Update II: As the guy wrote today, the third suspect in the Paris terrorist attack was the Syrian refugee.
Yesterday, 16 governors from all over the country stated that they would not accept Syrian refugees until concerns about the safety of checking these people could not be resolved. FBI at the moment openly found that they could not check every refugee who would enter the United States. In the lithe of a terrifying terrorist attack in Paris, it does not serene down at all. Currently, most of the states are solid against the efforts of Syrian relocation (through through CNN) [emphasis mine]:
Over half of the nation governors – 27 states – claims that they oppose the recession of Syrian refugees in their states, although the final word in this controversial immigration issue will fall into the federal government.
Countries protesting to receive refugees, from Alabama and Georgia, to Texas and Arizona, to Michigan and Illinois, Maine and New Hampshire. Among these 27 states, everyone except one has republican governors.
Ads appeared after the authorities revealed that at least one of the suspects is considered involved in Terrorist attacks in Paris He entered Europe among the current wave of Syrian refugees. He identified himself as a Syrian Called ahmed al muhammad And he was allowed to enter Greece at the beginning of October.

Governor of Louisiana and the candidate for president of GOP, Bobby Jindal, bitterly complained in the Obama Lisko that the Federal Government did not inform his government about the transfer of refugees to his condition last week.

On Sunday, NBC “Meet the Press”, Deputy National Security Advisor to the White House Ben Rhodes he said“We have very extensive screening procedures for all Syrian refugees who came to the United States. There is a very careful verification process that covers our intelligence community, our National Counterine Center, the Internal Security Department, thanks to which we can make sure that we carefully examine anyone who comes to the United States. “
New York representative Peter King, saying At Fox News, call doubts about Rhodes’ comments.
“What he said about the verification of refugees is untrue. There is practically no verification because there are no databases in SyriaIN There is no government documentation. We don’t know who these people are. “
By 2017, the general limit of refugees is expected to augment to 100,000 from the previous amount of 70,000. It is expected that the Syrians will most benefit from the change of policy, but one that also worsens the current security problem.
Probably the best thing that the United States could do to support these people is to fight ISIS. However, this is not in the cards for this president. He does not change his strategy to ISIS, which – in his mind – works. He is also not interested in winning in this fight with ISIS, which was observable in his comments.
“I am not interested in posing or striving for the concept of American leadership or winning America or other slogans that come up with, which is not related to what actually works to protect the American people and protect people in a region that is killed and protect our allies And people like France. I am too busy – said the president of his press conference in Turkey yesterday. Obama participates in the G-20 peak.
His comments are a bit strange because it is mighty and balanced American leadership Obama submitted In his national security strategy in 2015, As mentioned By Federalist Sean Davis.
Finally, putting on my aged MRC hat, CNN He also noted that the huge majority of states that oppose the transfer of refugees are Republican. How is it essential? Democrat or Republican, this is a earnest issue of national security. To be straightforward, this is another theatrical production of Bad Public Policy Theater, which again brought you against the president. The first of them is Obamacare; The president’s energy policy is the second (though insufficiently reported); And now that. Perhaps if Obama’s administration focused more on the rulers than politics aimed at dragging this legal edge to the left, things would prove to be better for them.
Recently Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the Internal Security Committee, sent a letter to Obama to stop relocation activities until the appropriate control process was established.
