Seth Meyers takes ‘a closer look’ at the reasons Republican governors and presidential candidates want to ban Syrian refugees, and finds compelling evidence for extraditing them and letting the refugees in.
France – which has a less stringent vetting process than the U.S. still intends to take in at least 30 thousand refugees over the next three years. Here in the U.S., thirty states are attempting to ban the fleeing refugees.
Seth uses film of some of the worst detractors and finds – not surprisingly, that Carly Fiorina has her figures off – way off. And Ted Cruz, who famously stated that if his Cuban immigrant had been a rabble rousing no-goodnik, then he too should have been denied entrance – is on film proudly yakking about dear old dad lobbing molitiv cocktails “alongside Castro.” Chris Christie is now officially against: teachers unions, people who use the bridge to commute and orphans under five years old.
“Mad Dog” Ben Carson might like to know that the vetting process is so stringent that a Huffington Post investigation concluded, “No competent terrorist would choose the U.S. refugee process as a preferred strategy for gaining entry into the U.S.”
It seems that we can safely assume that any terrorists competent or incompetent, aren’t going to slip in via the refugee program; it would be a shame if we – once again, denied refuge to people from a war-torn country because of scare media and fact-free candidates trying to rack up political points.
