Only the far right freaks are saying everyone else does not want to vet the refugees.
In fact, the far right lies.
All Americans right and left and center want them vetted carefully.
"In 2013, ABC News
reported that “several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees” in 2009.
“An intelligence tip initially led the FBI to Waad Ramadan Alwan, 32, in 2009. The Iraqi had claimed to be a refugee who faced persecution back home — a story that shattered when the FBI found his fingerprints on a cordless phone base that U.S. soldiers dug up in a gravel pile south of Bayji, Iraq on Sept. 1, 2005. The phone base had been wired to unexploded bombs buried in a nearby road.
As a result of that case and dozens of others, the report indicates that the U.S. cleaned up its vetting process in 2011, but not after putting the refugee program on hold for six months:
“An ABC News investigation of the flawed U.S. refugee screening system, which was overhauled two years ago, showed that Alwan was mistakenly allowed into the U.S…. Alwan and another Iraqi refugee, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 26, were resettled in Bowling Green even though both had been detained during the war by Iraqi authorities, according to federal prosecutors.”
Still, the head of the House Committee on Homeland Security Mike McCaul said he wouldn’t be surprised if there were more out there:
“And these are trained terrorists in the art of bombmaking that are inside the United States; and quite frankly, from a homeland security perspective, that really concerns me.”
The ABC report seems to demonstrate that American citizens have well founded fears of the U.S. government’s
lack of competence in vetting people who say they’re refugees — especially when there’s little information.
The New York Daily News reports that “2000 terror suspects have bought guns legally in the U.S.,” which would appear to be a problem in the cross referencing and vetting process."

"The FBI does not have a way to properly vet incoming Syrian refugees and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said so at a
House Homeland Security committee hearing in February."
"“Screening these refugees is not a task to be taken lightly,” McCaul and others wrote to the president at the time. “As we saw with previous Iraqi refugees…the lack of a thorough security screening process can result in individuals with terrorist ties exploiting the refugee program to resettle in the U.S. homeland.”
