""No system is foolproof," said David Martin, a University of Virginia professor who’s previously held posts at DHS and the State Department. "If we really wanted a foolproof system, we would shut down immigration entirely." (This seems to be what Trump is advocating.) According to the State Department, Syrians tend to have more identity documents than other refugee groups around the world, and the reasons they give for missing documents — for example, a bomb dropping on their house — can be verified. And contrary to what Trump suggests, Clinton has spoken about stepping up the rigor of the vetting and proposed specific solutions. "Congress needs to provide enough resources to ensure we have sufficient personnel deployed to run the most thorough possible process," she said in a December 2015 statement https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/statements/2015/12/15/comprehensive-plan-to-bolster-homeland-security/. Finally, we should note that refugees are subject to the highest level of security checks of any traveler category to the United States. So it "makes no operational sense" for ISIS to take advantage of the refugee program, Anne Speckhard, a counterterrorism expert at Georgetown University, told us previously. "Given how easy it is to send a European extremist to the U.S. via Europe, why would an ISIS guy in Syria wait the three years it takes to get refugee status?" Speckhard said. Our ruling Trump said there is "no system to vet" refugees from the Middle East. While there are concerns about information gaps, a system does exist and has existed since 1980. It involves multiple federal intelligence and security agencies as well as the United Nations. Refugee vetting typically takes one to two years and includes numerous rounds of security checks. We rate Trump’s claim False. (Politifact)

In ten to twenty more years, we'll be going through the same thing all over again like when Reagan granted amnesty to two million undocumented people. This is not to mention the refugees she wants to bring here from the middle- east.The FBI has said there is no way to thoroughly and adequately vet these people. I guess she feels bad about her policies in the middle -east causing the refugee problem in the first place. From: "emily.mae50@...

This is simply a bald-faced like, Mike. Show me direct quotes of hers that are legitimate where she says either of these things. I was just teasing you, Mike. The idea that you find Trump acceptable is not something I can even address with you. I consider you hopelessly blind.
