Then he sat for a year in Jordan and waited for them to process the application. I want to make sure that you understand the point that I am making. We are not saying we should open the doors for every single refugee. let them in without being properly vetted. without the proper security checks. without the background checks. but certainly someone who is providing services to the United States military. who had already been vetted by the military. who was saving lives. deserves better than. you have got to leave the country. you have got to find a general to sign the form. you have to pay hundreds of dollars for the form. you have to wait for a year. and then we will see if we can let you in. To top it off. when he finally arrived here. this individual. who has critical military skills. the ability to read and understand what our enemies may be saying about us. was told. well. you have got to find a job somewhere. maybe you can drive a taxi. I think the State Department and Department of Defense ought to be rolling out the red carpet for this individual.
