DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson: Terrorists Could Try to ‘Exploit’ Refugee System

Wednesday in Washington, D.C. at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said terrorists from groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) could attempt to “exploit” the Untied States refugee system.

Johnson said, “We do have to be concerned about the possibility a terrorist organization may seek to exploit our referee resettlement process.”

President Barack Obama has called on Americans to welcome 10,000 Syrian refugees recently comparing them to Jewish refugees of World War II.
