Syrian Refugee Crisis May Bring ISIS Militants To U.S.

Video Transcript:

The Obama administration is peddling yet another lie claiming that the vast wave of migrants overwhelming Europe are Syrian. And they want to bring more to the U.S.

The president has directed his team…He would like them to accept, at least make preparations to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees.

Problem is, almost 80 percent of the 213,000 arrivals aren’t from Syria. They are coming from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

This poses a huge security risk as ISIS and other terrorist organizations have said they will use the refugee crisis to gain entry into the U.S.

I take ISIS at its word when they said, in their own words, that we’ll use and exploit the refugee crisis to infiltrate the West. That concerns me.

There’s no question the U.S. should be at the forefront of the humanitarian effort, but we must be wise in the vetting process.

You know, look. If I could be assured these people could be vetted properly, I would be supportive. The problem is that we don’t have the systems in place, on the ground in Syria, to properly vet these individuals. We don’t know who they are.

On Sunday, German authorities arrested an ISIS recruiter posing as an asylum seeker.

So, now begins the delicate balancing act of bringing in legitimate refugees while weeding out the hiding terrorists. Rest assured though–the White House says they have a handle on it.

We would not take any shortcuts when it comes to our security. So, there will be an effort to try to accelerate that process, or move more people through that process, but it will not come at the expense of the robust security precautions that will remain in place.

Should we trust the White House? Is this a reckless and dangerous policy? Share and comment below.
