Why go to all the trouble
Posing as a Syrian refugee is not the easiest nor the safest way to travel to another country id you are a DAESH thug intent on doing something bad. Aside from the terrible travel conditions, there is no certainty you will actually get to your destination. There are much easier and faster ways to get there.
Despite a barrage of Republican charges that President Barack Obama is endangering the homeland by welcoming 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States, experts say that is hardly the easiest route for Islamic State terrorists to slip into the country.Probably the fastest way is through Saudi Arabia where DAESH thugs can have their way smoothed by one of their rich sponsors and be on a 747 winging their way to Texas to buy the necessary weaponry before you can say 'Ted Cruz Blows Goats'. And they keep their feet dry all the way.
Refugees seeking permanent resettlement must undergo extensive interviews and security checks, while waiting from 18 months to three years to learn their fate.
In contrast, during the decade ending on Dec. 31, 2014, the State Department granted temporary visas for 2 million visitors from 10 countries that have been breeding grounds for Islamic extremism, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Syria, a McClatchy analysis found. The wait for a visa is usually weeks or a few months.
The 39-nation Visa Waiver Program offers another option for the Islamic State. It permits people holding European passports – including all of the Islamic State-linked assailants who died in or were apprehended after last week’s mass slayings in Paris – to enter the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, so long as their names aren’t on a terrorism watch list. Reports to date indicate that counterterrorism authorities in France and Belgium had suspicions about only three of more than a dozen operatives.
