Just how incompetent is the vetting process, anyway?

8 migrants (including one of the Paris attackers) used the same identical passport (different picture of course) to enter Europe.

They are in the name Ahmad Almohammad and had same date of birth.

Obviously, simple database queries should be a strength of the EU/US vetting process. Jeez, maybe by the time 6 Ahmad Almohammads with the same birthdate show up-you might be able to catch #7 and #8.

Any bets on whether any of the other 7 Ahmad Almohammads will go out with a bang.

I need help-I simply can not understand the logic of an argument being posted by liberals on Facebook and elsewhere.

Prior to the attack.

My side-"It is possible that terrorists may enter the EU by hiding in the refugee stream. They may use fake passports or other means."

The Other side-"You racist xenophobic scumbag."

After the attack-

My side-"All indications are that one of the terrorists used a false passport and entered Europe with the refugee stream." (To say nothing of the the other 7 guys using the same passport)

The Other Side-"The terrorist's Syrian passport was a fake so it doesn't count." WTF?

Perhaps it's not that incompetent. I have read that French investigators now believe the Syrian passport was intentionally placed where it was found to sow confusion. Can't blame the EU for failing to find the fake passports when they weren't actually used in an effort to get into the country.

And of course, the 30 Republican governors (and 1 Democrat) who would like to close our borders to tens of thousands of innocent Syrian refugees are playing right into their PR game. I'm proud that my governor has gone in the other direction. As has our President. --Bob

And proud you should be. L.A. council declares shelter crisis in effort to help the homeless

Your governor apparently cares more about non-constituents than constituents. Your state can't even take care of its own internal refugees.

Proud moments indeed.

The declaration of a crisis is a method of helping. It's like all or part of a state being officially declared a disaster area. It makes additional resources available to address the problem. --Bob
