President Donald Trump’s administration has enacted new policies that are purposely stalling the FBI’s process of vetting refugees for admission to the United States, NBC News reported Friday.
According to former White House officials who spoke to NBC, the administration is overburdening the FBI with a variety of new procedures that have slowed down the admissions process for refugees. An administration official told NBC that the new procedures require the FBI to check additional databases to “weed out any potential terrorists,” in NBC’s words.
The administration has already intentionally halved the number of refugees its allowing into the United States in 2018, an effort largely led by White House aide Stephen Miller. The U.S. admitted 45,000 last year and is set to approve just 20,000 to 21,000 this year.
While the FBI told NBC that it is taking the “necessary time to thoroughly review” all applicants, former administration officials told NBC that the bureau is only able to vet a “handful of cases” a day.

They haven’t figured out how to grift the process yet, but they’re working on it.
If a refugee gives Trump a high rating,he or she is a terrorist.
Seriously, all the refugees need to learn to say wonderful things about Trump, then he will let them in.
I know this article is about refugees, but people need to know that the Administration has thrown up roadblocks to regular legal immigration. The administration doesn’t talk much about the difficulties they are creating for legal immigrants because demonizing illegals and refugees plays better with the base, but ask tech companies about the increased difficulty they are having in securing highly educated talent.
It is almost as though this bunch of no-nothings really want to move America out of the first world.
Also to attending professional meetings. I attended a meeting in Puerto Rico in July and several Chinese scientists were unable to get visas from our government.
