Obama on Syrian refugee radicalization, veteran homelessness
President Barack Obama was asked at a June 1 town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, why the money spent toward resettling refugees with the potential of radicalization isn't instead used to help homeless veterans.
The U.S. is trying to admit several thousand refugees, he said, but so far, has admitted only 2,500, while Canada has resettled 25,000.
Rather than from refugees, who are thoroughly screened, the larger terrorism risk comes from tourists who don't need a visa to enter the U.S., or from "American citizens who have gotten brainwashed" by extremist philosophies on the Internet, he said.
Regarding veteran homelessness, the president said, "If someone has put on the uniform and fought for this country, then they cannot be homeless." He said his administration has cut veteran homelessness by a third.
