[From article]
Former Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, says that a pause in allowing Syrian refugees into the country is "appropriate" because we have no way to adequately vet them.

The Hill:
“Particularly from certain parts of the world, I’m just not sure that we’ve got the background information — they talk about screening, they talk about being able to review everybody in a timely way, and it may take a year or two,” Tom Ridge told John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on New York’s AM-970 on Sunday.
“I’m just not confident that they’ve got sufficient information from law enforcement, the intelligence community to do effective screening,” he added.
“So, a pause for refugees from that part of the world is very appropriate at this time.”
Ridge said the refugee crisis is the result of the global community’s “failure” to deal with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

While the FBI, DHS, and State Department all say we can't properly vet refugees from Syria, the White House continues to insist that we can. Is this some kind of delusion? What the administration is not saying is that they are willing to accept certain risks that terrorists will be mixed in with refugees and that absorbing a few terror attacks every year is worth the price to remain true to our "values."
When the people responsible for vetting refugees won't even look at their Facebook and Twitter sites, you have to wonder what insane asylum they've escaped from. Ridge is no anti-Muslim fanatic, so when he says that we have to do a better job vetting these people before they arrive, he should be listened to.
