But supposedly conservatives are just “afraid of orphan children.”

What we have known to be true all along is now official. On Monday Rep Michael McCaul (R-TX) revealed contents from a classified letter from the National Counterterrorism Center which disclosed that ISIS and other Islamic [terrorists] have been and are targeting the U.S. refugee program as a way of entering the country.

This of course has never been disclosed by the Obama administration.  The Hill reports:

The NCTC has identified “individuals with ties to terrorist groups in Syria attempting to gain entry to the U.S. through the U.S. refugee program,” the intelligence agency told McCaul in a letter.

“The refugee system, like all immigration programs, is vulnerable to exploitation from [terrorist] groups seeking to send operatives to the West,” the agency added, noting that a small number of Iraqi refugees were arrested on terror charges in 2010.

McCaul disclosed the NCTC’s analysis during a speech at the National Defense University. He initially claimed that ISIS, in particular, had considered taking advantage of the refugee program, though his office later called that a “misstatement.”

“That was very courageous for them to come forward with this, to tell me about this personally, given the political debate on the Hill,” McCaul said on Monday.

According to The Hill, the White House would neither confirm or deny McCaul’s claim, but on cue, WH Press Secretary Josh Earnest carried the president’s water, defending the administration’s refugee screening process.

“Those individuals who seek to enter the United States through the refugee resettlement program do so only after undergoing the most intensive screening of anybody who attempts to enter the United States,” Earnest told reporters on Monday.

In his remarks, McCaul spoke in stark terms about U.S. national security.

The current threat posed by Islamic [terrorists] is greater than at any time since 9/11, he said, and ISIS is “now more dangerous than al Qaeda ever was under Osama bin Laden.”

“I believe the state of our homeland is increasingly not secure,” McCaul said.

“I believe 2015 will be seen as a watershed year in this long war — the year when our enemies gained an upper hand and when the spread of terror once again awoke the West.”

The chairman’s words fall on deaf ears, to be sure, considering that less than 24 hours prior, the president still pushed his agenda and assured the American people that any threats to homeland security can be easily dealt with.

Fortunately, it seems McCaul isn’t relenting.

“This is just the beginning,” the congressman promised.

“Over the coming weeks, we will introduce a slate of new bills based on the findings of the [bipartisan congressional] task force to keep terrorists from crossing our borders.”

We can only hope he speaks the truth and that congressional best efforts will not be thwarted by a president bent on bringing refugees to our shores at any cost.
