Interesting. A different federal official said he had confidence in our ability to vet (see at 55 mark -

Either way, this doesn't mean we didn't vet at all. One expressed concern, one said it was okay, but
no where did we just say "come on in!"That is exactly what they did say for the issue of the illegal Mexicans. I have confidence in our ability to control our southern border, but not if the acting President tells the Border Patrol to not control it. Which is exactly what was done by Obama.
Clapper did voice an opinion he had confidence in our ability to vet, but also that the Syrian refugee issue was a "disaster of biblical proportions."
