Hillary Clinton sang a completely different tune on vetting Syrian refugees back in 2013. In front a Jewish group in Chicago, she suggested she was worried that jihadists were mixing with Syrian refugees as they came into Jordan and the Jordanian vetting process couldn’t possibly be catching them all:

There’s a discussion going on now across the region to try to see where there might be common ground to deal with the threat posed by extremism.
And particularly with Syria which has everyone quite worried, Jordan because it’s on their border and they have hundreds of thousands of refugees and they can’t possibly vet all those refugees so they don’t know if, you know, jihadists are coming in along with legitimate refugees.
So if it’s this hard for Jordan, doesn’t the same logic apply to us when it comes to vetting refugees? After all we are far more removed from these refugees than they are and might not see them as clearly.
Or is Hillary just pandering to Jewish groups like Obama? I’m going with pandering as it’s the natural reflex of a lying politician, and she’s queen of the lying politicians.
