U.S. 'surge operation' to clear 10,000 Syrian refugees in just 3 months (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/u.s.-surge-operation-to-clear-10000-syrian-refugees-in-just-3-months-600-interviewed-a-day/article/2588019)

Obama seems determine to take in 10,000 unvettable Syrian refugees. We know they are unvettable because the FBI director testified (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/u.s.-surge-operation-to-clear-10000-syrian-refugees-in-just-3-months-600-interviewed-a-day/article/2588019)before Congress and said just that. We also know that it is better for refugees to be harbored near their homeland so they can return when the war ends.


The administration has established a "surge operation" in Jordan to process 10,000 Syrian refugees and get them to the United States by President Obama's deadline of September 30 (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/state-pushing-to-let-8800-more-syrian-refugees-in-by-october/article/2587107), according to a new report on the temporary processing center in Amman.


The report said that some 600 interviews are being conducted every day, suggesting that 36,000 refugees are being targeted for entry into the United States.

The Center for Immigration Studies (http://cis.org/rush/how-screen-600-syrian-refugees-day-surge-operation) on Friday reported on the first family to get cleared and enter the United States, landing in Kansas City last week. At the airport in Amman, the U.S. ambassador to Jordan gave them a welcome. From the CIS report:


U.S. ambassador Alice Wells, at the airport in Jordan to see the Al-Abboud family off, spoke to the media: "This family is the first family to depart after having been granted refugee status by our U.S. immigration officers during our three-month resettlement surge operation that began on February 1." The temporary processing center, she added, will run until April 28 and will process 10,000 refugees. It is part of "our effort to reach President Obama's directive to send 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States by September 30, 2016, while also ensuring that every refugee accepted by the United States has been thoroughly screened and vetted through our rigorous security process."




And 10,000 is a floor. They want more.

What should have been a regional problem (where the "west" could have provided aid) has turned into a ridiculous farce of places like the US and Canada volunteering to take in refugees they can't really afford. That's to say nothing of the security threat but, and this has been pointed out by plenty of political commentators will all sorts of relevant backgrounds, it would be easier for a potential terrorist to use a tourist visa.

I'm just saying that New Years in Germany won't fly here. You'll see armed groups in a matter of days taking matters into their own hands and if one of my daughters was affected I would be joining them...

"600 interviews per day".

Suggests that either these interviews are not particularly in-depth. Or that they have a huge staff there to conduct them.

Once they're here we will " prevent some acts of terrorism" with our spying and then one will get past us, justifying more imperialism in the ME

I bet they don't have a large staff.

Which imperialism are you thinking about this time?

I'm wondering why the Obama administration is so committed to this issue? Can anyone speculate on that?

No way you can vet 10,000 people in 3 months...

... Syrian or otherwise.

You can't vet Syrians fully regardless of time. Call the local PD in Damascus and ask them for info on Ackmed. They won't pick up the phone.
