Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said Friday that this week's mass shooting in Southern California should end the debate over whether Syrian refugees can safely be screened.
The retired neurosurgeon told a pro-business group made of lawmakers from across the nation that if it turns out the woman involved was fully vetted by federal officials and cleared to enter the U.S. it should help end the refugee debate.
"Now if that vetting resulted in missing someone who carried out such a horrendous crime that should be the end of the argument right there," Carson said.
The FBI said Friday that it is investigating the shooting in San Bernardino, California as an act of terrorism. A U.S. law enforcement official said the woman who helped her husband carry out the attack had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader on Facebook under an alias.

She came to the United States on a K1 visa, same as my wife. To do so you need only have a "sponsor" in the US as well as go through an interview so they can make sure it is legit. This is a totally different process than the refugees are subjected to and yes, much much much much easier provided you have a sponsor.
There is no interview at the present time, 3:02. It can all be done on line.
Thanks to Obama.
3:30, I regret to inform you that you are 100% wrong. The interview is conducted by the embassy in the immigrating individuals country; if it is the K1 you are referring to.
" The 90-day fiancé visa supposedly requires a passport, police certificates from the country of residence, medical examination records, evidence of financial support, and evidence of meeting and having a relationship with an American fiancé. But the Obama administration streamlined the process so that it can all be accomplished completely online.
That change ended the requirement that an applicant must visit a U.S. embassy where he or she would be photographed and had their fingerprints taken in person.."

That needs to end. Fiancé visas have got to be every bit as tough, with thorough screening. If you still want to marry a homicidal crazy, go do it in their country!

@1:16, (yes I double checked haha) thank you for pointing out my error. Way to use your critical thinking skills.
Its just very strange that I have gone through the process and she did in fact have to visit her embassy, wish I had known about the online version! It would have been a great financial help if the process would have been solely online. I also do agree that k1's should be held to a great deal of scrutiny. We would have rolled with the punches and hey if it prevents even one extremist from being able to enter the country I'm game to jump through the hoops. The people who really want it, like us, will gladly suffer some inconvenience for safety. Even though she was coming from a European country, we would have played along. Bottoms up
