GOP Candidates Reject Obama’s Refugee Plan: ‘Lunacy,’ ‘Huge Mistake,’ ‘No Way to Vet’
(CNSNews.com) – The terror attacks in Paris have focused new attention on the issue of Syrian refugee admissions, with several Republican presidential candidates hardening opposition to President Obama’s decision to allow 10,000 of them to settle in the United States during the current fiscal year.“Bringing people into this country from that area of the world I think is a huge mistake,” retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said on Fox News Sunday. “Because why wouldn’t they infiltrate them with people who are ideologically opposed to us? It would be foolish for them not to do that.”Carson said the U.S. should be compassionate, and support Syrian refugees to resettle in their region of origin.“But to bring them here under these circumstances is a suspension of intellect.”Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) sounded skeptical of the notion that refugee applicants could be properly vetted.
