The Hill<\/a> has posted an article today stating that Islamic extremists<\/a> have explored using the refugee program to enter the United States. This was confirmed by the head of the House Homeland Security Committee<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Michael McCaul<\/a> (R-Texas<\/a>) declined to go into detail about the determination, which the Obama administration has not announced publicly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet the disclosure could add ammunition to critics of the White House<\/a>\u2019s refugee plans who have warned that the program is vulnerable to infiltration by adherents of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria<\/a> (ISIS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cISIS members in Syria have attempted to exploit it to get into the United States,\u201d McCaul said during a speech at the National Defense University<\/a> on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. government has information to indicate that individuals tied to terrorist groups in Syria have already attempted to gain access to our country through the U. S. refugee program.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCaul would not say specifically who informed him and other lawmakers about the revelation, only describing the sources as \u201celements of the intelligence community.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The people who desire to destroy America are not stupid. They range from those who want to set up a world-wide Islamic caliphate<\/a> that includes America to those who simply want to end America’s role as a beacon of freedom. It should not be a surprise to any thinking person that our porous borders and lax immigration policies can be exploited by both of these groups. I suggest that we do everything we can to settle the Syrian refugees<\/a> in countries near their country so that they can return home to rebuild their country when the civil war ends. If they want to come to America, it should be on the condition that they assimilate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I think we need to suspend the flow of refugees until we have a better idea of who they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
