A top White House adviser said Sunday that President Obama still plans to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees even as Republicans insisted that it’s all but impossible to stop terrorists from hiding among the migrants.
“We’re still planning to take in Syrian refugees,” Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said on “Fox News Sunday.”
One of the terrorists in Friday’s deadly attacks on Paris reportedly may have used a Syrian passport to enter Europe with a flood of refugees, but Mr. Rhodes expressed confidence in the background-check system.
“We have very robust vetting procedures for those refugees. It involves our intelligence community, our National Counter-terrorism Center, extensive interviews, vetting them against all the available information,” Mr. Rhodes said.
Rep. Peter King, the New York Republican who heads the House Homeland Security intelligence subcommittee, called that statement “untrue.”

Maybe we can house 100 or so at the white house!
This administration has no clue.
It's the right thing to do. These people are fleeing a civil war and ISIS. Funny how most here love to brag about being a Judeo Christian nation founded on those values yet have no concept of what being a Christian is or what Christ expects from us.
Ignorant and uninformed voters vote for ignorant and uninformed people.
12:30
And liberals keep jumping up and down saying we are not a Judeo CHristian nation...so I guess you point is moot. These people as you call them are mostly men. So are all the men running away and leaving the women and children behind to fend for themself? That says a LOT about who these people are and they are not wanted in this country.
but most of these aren't Christians and dont believe they have to obey our laws
Well every damn one of them need to live with Obama then and allowing them to come here is not the right thing to do.
12:30 Did Jesus invite the Pharisees to become his disciples? No, because he knew they plotted against him. Do I need to say more?
They are cowards that out number ISIS 1000/1 and wont fight for there country.
12:30 How many are you taking in? Sit down and shut up.
Hey 12:30!!! Why don't you invite a few to live in your house when they arrive if you feel so sorry for them?
Of Obama feels so strongly..... He should allow these innocent people who need a spot to camp on the white house lawn.
