Congress Learned Of Syrian Refugees Entering The U.S. Just Recently

The Obama administration did not tell Congress, until recently, that Syrian Refugees were arriving in Louisiana.  According to a House Homeland Security Committee aide, Congress did not know about 13 Syrian refugees who arrived in New Orleans over the past two fiscal years until it was reported by a local news outlet 10 days ago.

This eliciting a warning from from the Committee about the lack of current intelligence regarding the refugees who are in the U.S. and those who will arrive in the future.

The Obama administration is looking to increase the number of Syrian refugees who may be admitted into the U.S. as well as speed up the process.
