Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson released a video that explains the screening process for refugees in an attempt to quell fears stoked by Republicans.
“I understand the anxiety that many Americans are feeling right now,” wrote Sec. Johnson in an email introducing the video. “And as Secretary of Homeland Security, I share with President Obama the top priority of keeping the American people safe. So let me be clear about what this process of vetting and resettling refugees looks like.
“It’s important to remember, we’re focused on admitting the most vulnerable Syrians — this means mostly women, children and families. Second, anyone who applies for and is approved for refugee status in the United States, including Syrians, must first go through a rigorous security screening process.”
