Spicer: Those Who Have Been Persecuted Will Have an Opportunity to Apply and Go Through a Vetting System

‘We’ll put a system in place that looks country by country, group by group and make sure we put appropriate vetting in place’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
RADATZ: "The executive order stipulates that after the refugee program is reinstated in 120 days the government will prioritize religious minorities persecuted in their country. How will you determine what religion people are? How do you vet them."
SPICER: "During this 10-day period we’ll put a system in place that looks country by country, group by group and make sure we put appropriate vetting in place. Again —"
RADDATZ: "A religious test." 
SPICER: "No, what we’ll do is make sure people who have been persecuted for either religious or other reasons have an opportunity to apply and go through a vetting system that ensures they’re coming to this country to seek asylum, to seek a new life for themselves or fair family but to do so with peaceful purposes."
