Obama's Failed Screening of Refugees for Terrorism

For weeks now, the Republicans have tried to block thousands of Syrian refugees from coming to this country for fear that some may be terrorists.  Obama once mocked the Republicans claiming that they were "scared of widows and orphans"; implying that the majority of people coming to this country were just that.  Then, to allay the country's fears that terrorists were entering, the White House put a website up explaining how refugees were being vetted.  In the forward to a flow chart, they said this:
"Refugees undergo more rigorous screening than anyone else we allow into the United States."
Well, it didn't take but a few weeks for those claims to be proven wrong.  Within 24 hours of each other, 2 Iraqi refugees were arrested as terrorists.

Apparently, the rigorous screening program doesn't work.
