Rand Paul: If Someone Comes from Aleppo, Who Do We Call in Aleppo to Vet Them?

‘I think there does need to be more scrutiny of the program’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "In my hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky, two refugees from Iraq had fingerprints on a bomb that had been exploded, a terrorist bomb in Iraq. We had it in our database but we weren't doing sufficient screening and we allowed them to come into our country as refugees. So I do think we need to do a better job. It’s hard. If somebody comes tomorrow and they say, 'I’m coming from Aleppo,' who do you call in Aleppo? Aleppo is in rubble. Who is going to have the paperwork to prove who they are? So it's very difficult to ascertain someone's identity if they're coming from a warzone."
