They do screen and do background checks. The most extensive of any immigrant or refugee.
How Do Syrian Refugees Get Into the US
Potential refugees first apply for refugee status through the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), the international body in charge of protecting and assisting refugees.
The UNHCR essentially decides who merits refugee status based on the parameters laid out in the 1951 Refugee Convention, which states that a refugee is someone who "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country."
If it's demonstrated that the refugee in question meets the above conditions, the applicant may be referred by the UNHRC for resettlement in a third country, such as the United States, where he or she will be given legal resident status and eventually be able to apply for citizenship.
After the UNHCR refers a refugee applicant to the United States, the application is processed by a federally funded Resettlement Support Center, which gathers information about the candidate to prepare for an intensive screening process, which includes an interview, a medical evaluation and an interagency security screening process aimed at ensuring the refugee does not pose a threat to the United States.
The average processing time for refugee applications is 18 to 24 months, but Syrian applications can take significantly longer because of security concerns and difficulties in verifying their information.
Once they've completed that part of the process, the refugee is paired with a resettlement agency in the United States to assist in his or her transition to the country. That organization provides support services, such as language and vocational training, as well as monetary assistance for housing and other necessities.
Stretching Facts on Syrian Refugees
UNHCR’s data show that 50.5 percent of refugees are women. Females age 18 to 59 make up 23.9 percent of the refugees, while males in that age group make up 21.8 percent.
Even younger males — age 12 to 17 — represent 6.5 percent of refugees, while females that age are 6.1 percent. The majority of refugees — 51.1 percent — are under age 17, including 38.5 percent who are younger than 12 years old. These numbers were as of Sept. 6.
And aren't you one of those extra crunchy buckets of Christian? Tell me, what refugees would Jesus refuse?
What do you not get about the FBI Director saying we can't do it properly.
That's not what he said you racist, homophobic shitstain on humanity.
The actual statement was "there are too many gaps in the data available to us". In other words, it can't be done properly you freak of nature piece of dogshit.
What he said, you racist, homophobic pussy, is this:
“I can’t sit here and offer anybody an absolute assurance that there’s no risk associated with this.”
Can you give me an absolute assurance that someone that buys a gun in the United States will not use it against a bunch of kids at an Elementary School? No? Guess we don't let anyone have guns then, right?
What I posted is also what he said.
Oh, another one that thinks the gun is at fault. If you don't think we should have guns, my challenge is for you to try and take mine.
You want to keep all Syrian refugees from the United States because nobody can absolutely guarantee you that one maybe could become a terrorist (after two years of intensive screening to get into the US) and yet the idea of closing loopholes to keep people that should not have guns from getting them causes you to twist your pink panties into a wad and choke on your own flying spittle.
I don't want your guns, have plenty of my own. Do be careful. I worry about you using a rubber spoon to eat let alone walking around armed.
