Dean of the U.S. House of Representatives John Conyers, Jr. |
“Refugees are more thoroughly vetted than any other traveler or immigrant to the United States. We rely on methodical and exhaustive background checks (18 - 24 months on average and longer in many cases) performed by the Departments of Homeland Security and State, in conjunction with the CIA, FBI, and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies. We should not let kneejerk reactions keep us from being a beacon of hope for Syrian refugees and other refugees in the Middle East, Africa, and around the world. Doing anything different would not only be turning our back on the world’s refugees, but also on our own proud of history of providing safe haven.”
