Michigan is expected to take in more than 5,000 refugees this year, the highest number since 2002, amid renewed concerns about security and the latest effort in Congress to overhaul the U.S. Resettlement Program.
Since 2002, the earliest year for which U.S. officials say they have reliable state-by-state data, Michigan has resettled between about 500 and 4,500 refugees annually. State social service agencies say they plan to take in about 5,100 this year.
The expected influx comes as intelligence officials warn Islamic State members posing as refugees will likely launch an attack on U.S. soil this year. A bill seeking to cap the number of refugees and strengthen security measures was approved Wednesday by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.
Advocacy groups insist the fears are overblown, since refugees go through a 13-step vetting process by the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies. Refugees from Iraq and Syria are subject to even more stringent background checks.
Critics point to U.S. intelligence officials’ warnings that refugees cannot be properly vetted.

Refugees leaving one third world shit hole and going to Democrat made third world shit hole Detroit Michigan. Idiots!
Gee. what could possibly go wrong? Sarcasm and skepticism intended. No more friggin refugees from Syria, this is just asking for trouble and playing with dynamite and innocent American lives. I despise this administration and presidunce!
First of all, they aren’t refugees — they are invaders.
Send them to Flint to be water tasters.
50,000 plus and not a Christian among them.
Thanks Barry !
The Federal Government hopes to expand the unmitigated success of Detroit to the rest of Michigan using 3rd world experts – who else can do it better? Michganistan Awakens!
That commercial to “Experience Michigan” or something like that – stuff it.
The Tsarnaevs passed the vetting process.
I assume everyone knows the end game for Obama.
Whites will no longer be the majority in the US
