Recently, the US House of Representatives voted to pause the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Program. People are irritated this is occurring because the war in Syria has led to millions of refugees looking for safe haven in Turkey, Europe and the U.S. After the attacks in Paris, Republican lawmakers are afraid that terrorists will enter the US in disguise. The current plan is to settle 10,000 Syrians using a thorough process including screenings, background checks done by the FBI, and Homeland Security that takes between a year and a half to two years to complete. Republicans say it is not enough and that it is better safe than sorry. While, most Democrats would disagree, according to this article. The President is opposed to pausing the program, and it is unclear when the Senate will consider the bill. This story aired before the House passed the bill to pause the program, I found that shocking. Technology has taken over the world.
