Goodlatte, Grassley Release Statement after Administration Announces an Additional 10,000 Syrian Refugees
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 20, 2015 CONTACT: Kathryn Rexrode or Michael Woeste (202) 225-3951
Washington, D.C.— House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley made the following statement after Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the United States would accept ten thousand additional Syrian refugees on top of the 75,000 worldwide refugees the Secretary announced after a consultation, as required by law, between Kerry and leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees to discuss the proposed annual number of refugees the Obama administration planned to admit into the United States.
“ISIS and other terrorist groups have made it abundantly clear that they will use the refugee crisis to try to enter the United States. Now, the Obama administration wants to bring in an additional ten thousand Syrians without a concrete and foolproof plan to ensure that terrorists won't be able to enter the country.
"The administration has essentially given the American people a 'trust me.' That isn't good enough."

Strikes me as political rhetoric rather than a policy plan. So much of that. Refresh my memory, how much of the republican promises made in the fall of '14 have been made law? They have plenty of catch-up to do and this problem. they re fighting over some women's problem rather than one that affects everyone. I do not understand?

GRASSLEY, GOODLATTE: ADMIN’S ‘TRUST ME’ ‘ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH’ FOR SYRIAN REFUGEE ADMISS
GRASSLEY, GOODLATTE: ADMIN’S ‘TRUST ME’ ‘ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH’ FOR SYRIAN REFUGEE ADMISSIONS

The Obama administration’s assurances concerning the admission of thousands of Syrian refugees — given the national security concerns — are not enough, two Republican leaders warn.
In a joint statement House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) expressed their concerns that the Obama administration’s plans to resettle 10,000 additional Syrian refugees will be infiltrated by terrorists.
“ISIS and other terrorist groups have made it abundantly clear that they will use the refugee crisis to try to enter the United States,” the pair said Sunday. “Now, the Obama administration wants to bring in an additional ten thousand Syrians without a concrete and foolproof plan to ensure that terrorists won’t be able to enter the country.”
Over the weekend, Secretary of State John Kerry revealed that the Obama administration would be accepting 85,000 refugees next year — beyond the 75,000 Kerry told lawmakers earlier this month — including an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees. That refugee figure, Kerry added, the administration hopes to push to 100,000 refugees the following year.
Republican lawmakers have raised serious concerns about the vetting process and possible national security implications. House Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), for example, has characterized the plan as “very reckless and dangerous.”
“The administration has essentially given the American people a ‘trust me.’ That isn’t good enough,” Grassley and Goodlatte said Sunday.
Democrats, meanwhile have argued that next year’s 10,000 Syrian refugee commitment is not enough. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley have both called for the U.S. to resettle some 65,000 Syrian refugees.

from Numbers USA:
Obama told Congress that he plans to resettle at least 10,000 Syrians in the United States. A group of Congressional Democrats along with some special interest groups have since pushed for the U.S. to receive up to 100,000 Syrians. The FBI's assistant director said that he has national security concerns with such a plan and that the agency has no system to vet whether or not Syrians pose a threat to the United States. (we don't need them here throwing rocks at each other or jihad crap)
Call -
HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER -- (202) 225-0600The White House is calling for the resettlement of at least 10,000 Syrians to the United States, while others are calling for up to 100,000. The FBI says it can't determine whether the resettlement of Syrians would pose a threat to national security. As a member of the GOP Leadership team, I urge you to include a provision in the fiscal year 2016 CR that says none of the funds in the CR can be used to bring Syrians to the United States for resettlement.
