Refugees admitted without papers despite ‘significant' number tied to terror
2016-09-29
[Wash Times] Refugees can be admitted to the U.S. without any corroborating documents or physical evidence, the chief of the immigration service told Congress on Wednesday -- though he insisted that's not the typical situation.

Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said a "significant" number of refugees have been implicated in terrorist plots over the past eight years but that the rejection of some 7 percent of Syrian applications proves his officers can spot danger signs.

"We've turned a lot of people down," he said.

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, countered that it was striking that the department knew how many people it denied but couldn't determine how many refugees have been connected to terrorism. He read off the details of several cases, including a refugee from Iraq, living in Texas, arrested this year for plotting against the U.S.

"We keep seeing instances over and over again of refugees coming to America with an intention to engage in terrorism," Mr. Cruz said.

Yes, it is typical. The first 25,000 plus Iraqi refugees were drug into this country by the State Department without any vetting whatsoever. And now you tell us an average of 7% of your applicants have terror ties/intent.

Logic then dictates that 7% of that 25,000 had terror ties...1,750 of them. WTF? Did you go back and vet them and remove the trouble? Of course not...
