Officials familiar with the bureau’s preparations, speaking only on
condition of anonymity, said Director James Comey has put a brave public
face on the bureau’s fight against ISIS that masks significant tensions
behind the scenes with the Obama administration.
Bureau officials
are deeply worried they don’t have enough resources to track a growing
number of radicalized Americans inspired by the Islamic State, with more
possibly entering as President Obama opens the borders to thousands of
Syrian refugees.

“They’re basically lying to you saying, ‘oh we’ve got this vetting process to make sure that they’re safe.’ But you had the FBI director testify before Congress, under oath saying that if they have no information on someone they have nothing to vet them against,” Mr. Farenthold said on the “Capitol Hill Show” with Tim Constantine.
“We have testimony saying, and I think common sense also dictates that in a failed state like Syria you don’t have any government information, police reports to rely on to vet somebody,” the congressman added. “So there’s no way to do a background check from somebody coming out of Syria. There’s no way we can find out whether they’re safe or not.”
And I'd bet that, even if he admitted, this, Obama would still insist it is our 'duty' to let them all in.

60 Minutes did a story on how weak the vetting process is for security clearances. The Navy yard shooting in DC - THAT guy had a security clearance.
He passed even though when asked, "What's this felony arrest?" He said, "I let the air out of someone's tires." Failed to mention though that he let the air out using a 45cal Glock.
If anyone thinks the vetting process for a refugee is going to be even remotely valuable, I have the inside track on ocean front property in Montana...cheap!
