Here Is How US Allegedly Vets Refugees

According to Jenny Yang, the vice president of advocacy and policy at World Relief, this is how the US investigates refugees coming to this country:

The vetting process for each refugee is highly rigorous, and usually takes two to three years to complete.

Refugees first have to prove that they are actually refugee by registering and being accepted by the United Nations’s refugee agency overseas. This means they have to have a well-founded fear of persecution based on five specific grounds: nationality, race, religion, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.

A small number of those registered—the most vulnerable cases—are referred to the U.S to be considered for resettlement. Only those who cannot return home or locally integrate in the country of asylum are referred for resettlement.

The US State Department’s Resettlement Support Center then collects biographical information and personal data for security clearance. The Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Department of Defense and multiple intelligence agencies then work together to carry out multiple security screenings based on biometric and biographic data, photographs, and other background information over a period that lasts on average 18 to 24 months. Any refugee who is deemed to pose a threat to our national security is denied.

Syrian refugees also undergo “enhanced reviews” in which specially trained officers examine each case biography for accuracy and authenticity. In addition to these security checks, every single refugee is interviewed face-to-face by a Department of Homeland Security official and must undergo a medical screening.

I don't doubt Ms. Yang, but there is something wrong with her claim the process "usually takes two to three years to complete". These refugees and coming here NOW and throughout 2016. Does that mean the process will be sped up for them, or will it just be ignored?

Once again, this all reminds me of what happened during the Ebola crisis. So-called "experts" ignored the wishes of We The People, who wanted a quarantine, and just brought potentially infected persons into the country willy nilly and allowed them to go everywhere.
