We have an obligation and thats safety and security of the homeland. Theres going to be handoff between the various agencies. How do we make sure with this increased workload and increased pressure to help the refugees that we dont make a mistake that could potentially put our homeland at risk . And ill start with anybody in the agency. Maybe Homeland Security. I was concerned of the numbers and well go to the security. Just to be clear, yes, we are our goal, whatever you want to call it for phy...

Regarding the Security Checks. We will not cut corners. The Security Check requirements were developed in the inner agency with the consultation and expertise of the fbi, our dhs partners, and the Intelligence Community partners and the security regime was set up with all that input.

For refugees from the middle east the numbers are even higher. More than 90 of recent midd...

If irans rulers were working to destroy your countries, perhaps you would be less enthusiastic about the deal. If irans terror proxies were firing thousands of rockets at your cities, perhaps youd be more measured in your praise. And if this deal were unleashing a Nuclear Arms Race in your neighborhood, perhaps youd be more reluctant to celebrate. But dont think that everyone is o...

I dont think any of you are being told your resources are going to increase when you have more refugees. So at the most fundamental level, im trying to figure out how you absorb this within the current rate of funding that you have without something giving. One of those things that may give could be the very important thing that we all have an obligation to ensure, and that is the safety and security of the homeland.
