Of the 31 states that have declared their opposition to taking in Syrian refugees, one state, Kentucky, has a specific reason to be wary of the background check process: previously two Iraqi refugees who settled in Bowling Green turned out to be al Qaeda-linked terrorists with the blood of American soldiers on their hands, an ABC News investigation found. Both pleaded guilty to terror-connected charges after trying to acquire heavy weapons while in America’s heartland.
The 2013 ABC News investigation also revealed that several dozen other suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some who were believed to have targeted U.S. troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the U.S. as Iraq and Afghanistan War refugees, among the tens of thousands of innocent immigrants.

Seems like just about anyone can get in this country if they come in through those borders.
SMDH
not really.. they were caught and are detained.
LOL, yes they were. As the title of the thread indicates.
The US wouldn't have an illegal immigration issue as it does now if it were truly difficult to get into the US. They had to get here somehow right?

I think it comes with having shared borders with semi-corrupt countries..
But yes, its all the USA and Obama's fault! :/

so angry... taken your pills today?
It wasn't aimed at you. This isn't about you or your sensitive feelings. It was a swipe at Americans and their generalizations that everything wrong in this world is Obama's fault.
bro, chill - you'll give yourself a hernia!

5 young Syrian men were just caught with FAKE Greek passports trying to get into the US through Honduras and Mexico.
Given what was discovered about the Paris ISIS terrorists having fake passports...and the fact that ISIS is almost certainly sneaking terrorist cells into the US disguised as Syrian refugees. This arrest by Honduran authorities is particularly timely, telling...and should set off alarm bells...especially since ISIS says attacks on Washington DC are coming soon.
Obama is welcoming Syrians in the US legally, by the thousands...so why were these FIVE athletic, young Syrian men using phony Greek passports to sneak in to the US through Mexico?
They're hardly the Syrian widows and orphans Obama is talking about.
Authorities in Honduras have detained “five Syrian nationals who were trying to reach the United States using stolen Greek passports” and, as Fox reports, the five “Syrians were trying to arrive in the U.S. by land, presumably by traveling through Mexico:”
The group of Syrian men was held late on Tuesday in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa on arrival from Costa Rica and they were planning to head to the border with neighboring Guatemala. The passports had been doctored to replace the photographs with those of the Syrians, police said.
Also according to Fox, the five “suspects remain in police custody.”
The newspaper reports that the passports were stolen in Greece and doctored to insert the photos of the Syrians into the document. Authorities have stated they are “on alert” for any additional suspect activity.
Honduran police spokesman Anibal Baca told reporters Wednesday that those arrested were “normal Syrians”:
We received information from (fellow) police services that these five Syrians left Greece and passed through Turkey, Brazil, Argentina and San Jose in Costa Rica before finally reaching Tegucigalpa.
Honduras is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees as of 1967, which mandates the nation by international law to accept Syrian refugees. It is one of 142 countries to have ratified the agreement.
Photos have also surfaced in South American media of the Syrians under arrest.
As a Central American nation, Honduras is a significantly trafficked route for migrants attempting to make their way to the United States. Honduran officials have previously blamed the Obama administration’s “mixed messages” regarding illegal immigrants for encouraging human trafficking in Central and South America, as more are likely to attempt the dangerous trip north if given hope that they may be given legal status upon arriving in the United States.
