Because Obama's CIA Director Brennan, Director of National Intelligence Clapper, and FBI Director Comey said that it's not good enough.

Stop with the stupid politicizing of our national security, and GET REAL!!

Here is the vetting procedure that was in place prior to President Trump taking office:

Looks nice on paper -- but both our intelligence agencies and HLS have stated repeatedly we can't adequately vet these people, and ISIS has repeatedly and openly stated they are infiltrating the refugees.

FYI that's not a great answer to a question that required substance. LOTS of people say its not good enough. I want to know WHY its not.

Thank you for posting that. I've seen and read that link many times. I'm comfortable with our vetting process. I don't believe it needs to be changed. I do, however, think more money needs to be invested into expanding ICE so we can enforce the rules we already have on the books.

Then expand ICE. Don't punish innocent people.

The bolded is a lie. The fact is that immigration for people from certain countries is temporarily suspended. Liberals should attempt to calm down and see how the new process will work before getting into a hysterical, racist rant. Legal permanent residents will be allowed in after carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This is what any country in the world is permitted to do. Why not the U.S.?

Another example of a drive-by post from a liberal-fascist group trying to portray conservatives and independents as racists. This kind of spin keeps many people convinced that most liberals have become too extreme and deceitful to be trusted.

It seems that what upsets liberals the most is that there's now a president who is doing exactly what he said he would do. The audacity of it all--not political posturing, but decisive action. It upsets the delicate flowers like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Didn't you guys spent the last year saying not to take him literally? That's your narrative, I didn't vote for the guy in the off chance that our institutions would allow him to do what he said he would. Now here we are, can we expect the eventual total ban of Muslims like he said, or the carpet bombing of middle east like he said, the persecutiong of families of terrorist like he said, or we shouldn't we should pick and choose what he meant because then he is a politician, so your guy is not so special. Either intellectually you can't wrap your head around what's happening or you are who we (progressives) think you are, I think the latter.

The CIA director, FBI director and Director of National Intelligence -- all working under Obama -- said that our vetting wasn't good enough.

If you want to know why they said that, ask them.

They obviously wouldn't have said it if they didn't have good reasons.

I see nothing wrong with that. There is no reason for us to have any Muslims in this country, and a lot of reasons not to have them.

Nothing wrong with exterminating the Jihadists. We should have done that a long time ago.

Quote:

Can't see anything wrong with that, either, if they're terrorist sympathizers.

But I doubt he'll do it.

You conservative radicals are something else. We have herr Fuhrer for 4 years. You guys complained every bit as much as we are because you couldn't believe YOU had a black President. He at least wasted almost 2 years trying to work with your people. They even said they wanted him to "fail". Good Americans with their Tea Party get ups and signs of Obama likenesses on the end of a rope. Yes, we have been here before. Obstruction is not new. Just look at the past 8 years....
