Sen. Ted Cruz would winnow the field of acceptable refugees down to only Christian Syrians, similar to what Jeb Bush proposes. In Congress, House Republicans voted to block Syrian and Iraqi refugees from coming to the U.S. A majority of U.S. governors want to refuse refugees resettlement in their states.The Times editorial board has a message for them: Stop the fear mongering. It writes:The United States doesn’t have the same challenge as Europe, whose relative proximity to the Middle Eastern war zone has left it inundated with millions of refugees. And the source isn’t just Syria and Iraq; refugees — both political and economic — from Africa have landed in Europe as well. There are few good options for stopping that tide without first stabilizing the regions from which it arises; a political solution to the Syrian civil war is a crucial first step to achieving that stability.We haven’t faced this exodus simply because it is so much harder for Syrian refugees to arrive at the border and seek asylum. President Obama affirmed in Turkey on Tuesday that “America has to step up and do its part” in providing for war refugees, which presumably includes moving ahead with his plan to accept up to 10,000 Syrian refugees this fiscal year, up from fewer than 2,000. This page has argued that the U.S. should take significantly more because there are too many for Europe to absorb and because of our history as a safe haven. Nothing in the Paris attacks changes that.That’s not to suggest that the U.S. should accept any and all comers. What the Republican candidates ignore, though, is that there is already a system in place to vet the refugees. To gain entry to the U.S., a Syrian refugee first must pass rigorous screening by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which verifies personal backgrounds and details before recommending individuals for resettlement to the United States. Then the Department of Homeland Security does its own screening before a refugee is granted entry and protection.» Click here to read more.Refusing entry to Syrians is not only unnecessary, it’s also un-American. Editorial writer Scott Martelle says this reflexive heartlessness goes against our national character: “For a nation built by immigrants and their offspring, including waves of refugees over the years, to say, ‘wait a minute, not THOSE people,’ is to reject our very roots. Not to mention hamstring future economic growth, since immigrants help fuel the economy.” Readers largely agree — a few draw comparisons to the homegrown mass shooters of late and wonder who it is Americans should really fear.
Accuse Obama of coddling would-be terrorists (including widows and orphans) who are viewed as encroaching on our borders. Or so goes the battle cry, which accuses the president of abdicating America’s national security — and allegedly doing so on purpose.*Fox’s Jesse Watters: Obama is inviting in “the barbarians at the gate.”*Fox’s Andrea Tantaros: “Everything that the president is doing seems to benefit what ISIS is doing.”*Ben Stein: Obama’s “hatred of America” may be “because he’s part black.” “He does not wish America well.”In other words, there’s a dark, invading force that Obama won’t stop. In fact, he seems intent on welcoming it across the border so it can wreak havoc here at home.Sound familiar?Indeed, watching the Fox meltdown over refugees you might think, ‘This is unique brand of rhetorical manure.’ I mean, Obama putting Muslim refugees above the safety of Americans? Opting for a “forced infiltration”? But if you hit the rewind button to October and November 2014, then you remember, ‘Oh yeah, they did pretty much the exact same thing twelve months ago with their full-scale meltdown over a domestic Ebola outbreak that never happened.’Is this now becoming an annual autumn tradition? Some Fox talkers are even connecting the refugee/Ebola dots, although they fail to see it as problematic. “He’s imported illegal aliens,” said Watters of Obama. “Remember he brought all of the Ebola victims into this country?”
Republicans drew the short straw on Friday in Mississippi. Seriously. Incumbent Democrat Bo Eaton won a House race against Republican challenger Mark Tullos by drawing a longer straw, an official way to break a tie.
Summary:
A step-by-step guide to the rigorous process for refugee entry into the U.S.
Refugees undergo more rigorous screening than anyone else we allow into the United States. Here’s what the screening process looks like for them:
Recurrent vetting: Throughout this process, pending applications continue to be checked against terrorist databases, to ensure new, relevant terrorism information has not come to light. If a match is found, that case is paused for further review. Applicants who continue to have no flags continue the process. If there is doubt about whether an applicant poses a security risk, they will not be admitted.
Biographic security checks start with enhanced interagency security checks
Refugees are subject to the highest level of security checks of any category of traveler to the United States.
U.S. security agencies screen the candidate, including:
The screening looks for indicators, like:
Information that the individual is a security risk
Connections to known bad actors
Outstanding warrants/immigration or criminal violations
DHS conducts an enhanced review of Syrian cases, which may be referred to USCIS Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate for review. Research that is used by the interviewing officer informs lines of question related to the applicant’s eligibility and credibility.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/USCIS interview:
Interviews are conducted by USCIS Officers specially trained for interviews
Fingerprints are collected and submitted (biometric check)
Re-interviews can be conducted if fingerprint results or new information raises questions. If new biographic information is identified by USCIS at an interview, additional security checks on the information are conducted. USCIS may place a case on hold to do additional research or investigation. Otherwise, the process continues.
Biometric security checks:
Applicant’s fingerprints are taken by U.S. government employees
Fingerprints are screened against the FBI’s biometric database.
Fingerprints are screened against the DHS biometric database, containing watch-list information and previous immigration encounters in the U.S. and overseas.
Fingerprints are screened against the U.S. Department of Defense biometric database, which includes fingerprint records captured in Iraq and other locations.
If not already halted, this is the end point for cases with security concerns. Otherwise, the process continues.
Medical check:
The need for medical screening is determined
This is the end point for cases denied due to medical reasons. Refugees may be provided medical treatment for communicable diseases such as tuberculosis.
Cultural orientation and assignment to domestic resettlement locations:
Applicants complete cultural orientation classes.
An assessment is made by a U.S.-based non-governmental organization to determine the best resettlement location for the candidate(s). Considerations include:
A location is chosen.
Travel:
International Organization for Migration books travel
Prior to entry in the United States, applicants are subject to:
This is the end point for some applicants. Applicants who have no flags continue the process.
U.S. Arrival:
All refugees are required to apply for a green card within a year of their arrival to the United States, which triggers:
