- Summary:
- A report on the Syrian refugee crisis. Syrian families are fleeing terrorism to make it to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Amman, Jordan, where they undergo a vetting process before they are moved to the United States. The U.S. security check lasts an average of 18 to 24 months where each refugee is interviewed in detail, their irises scanned, and a background check is performed. President Barack Obama and Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton favor the current refugee program, whereas Presidential nominee Donald Trump and a majority of U.S. governors have called for a halt to it. Includes interviews with: Gina Kassem, regional refugee coordinator at UNHCR - Jordan; Syrian refugees moving to America only identified by their first name: Sulaf and her daughter Joody (partially in English and through a translator); Mohammad and his wife Ebtesam (through translator); and Ekbal (through translator); Senior Pastor Bryant Wright, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church; and Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security. Also includes comments by unidentified people at UNHCR - Jordan. This rebroadcast includes updated introductory and closing remarks by Correspondent Bill Whitaker.
