which is the -- texas, for example, which has the largest amount of syrian refugees in the united states until now. still a very small number. michigan, as well, which has the largest arab community in the united states. president obama has already reacted to this in turkey. he said those moves by those 13 governors in the united states were, quote, shameful. he went on to say this. a slamming of the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values. so this is a president and a white house who certainly still want to keep their part of the bargain, so to say, because after the big refugee movements in europe, the united states was put under pressure to welcome more refugees into this country. the state department decided to do so. today it says it will keep with that plan, despite, again, significant republican pressure to keep any syrian refugees from coming into the united states from now on. >> joining us live there from washington, the very latest on the american approach to the refugee crisis. but also, what the response is likely to be for the united states once it is asked by franc

consider on this legislation that would block refugees from syria and iraq from coming in the united states untilmbers of the administration are able to certify that those individuals are not terrorists. but the other important consideration here is that the white house has threatened a veto. the senate today we heard from senate minority leader harry reid saying democrats will do everything in their power to try to block this legislation from ever reaching the president's desk. so huge questions about what will happen to this legislation and down the road the possibility, we're told, that republicans might consider putting this on the big spending bill that has to be passed around december 11th setting up at least in theory the possibility there could be a showdown that led to parts of the government being shut down if this it were pushed through by republicans. a lot of questions here. the important thing is that it is passed by a huge majority in the house of representatives. pushed through by the new speaker of the house paul ryan. >> paul ryan was clearly in favor of this. he made it in a st

interesting piece they interviewed young women in raqqan and doing things that young women in the united states did untilisis came in the city and this quote underscored for me at least, the changes. this young girl said to the new york times and since left syria to go to turkey. i had a boyfriend and went to the beach and bikini and had short skirts and tank tops and even my brothers didn't care and i had no trouble from anyone. and reflected on how much it has changed. we need an accurate perception of what happened in syria before isis came in and the changes for the women. what did you say they were absorbed in isis and had to escape? >> i read the report as well. and it was a nice piece of journalism. i liked it because it humanizes the internal conflict that they experienced. they were residents of syria and not like the outsiders. but isis came in and probably were disappointed with with ah sawed and see they might have been caught up in the fight against ah sawed and favorable for isis because they were victorious. and you see what it is like when isis steps up the caliphate. that's why refugees

finding a way to bring the 10,000 or so refugees, the administration allowed to come to the united states until they can button up how forceful they will be to make sure we got the eyes das and cross the deeps with the they represent a threat and until we get that no more will be welcome. former u.k. parliament tom brown says it is not so much of those who come here but those who could sneak in here because up north in canada they are letting them in at a fairly frenetic pace and that worries you. that border with canada is more open than the border with mexico. a lot of those guys particular in the ones you fear might be dicey. >> the left wing always have policies -- often totally irresponsible as i think this is because it requires not thousands but just 5, 6 or 10 people to get in to cause mayhem which the paris talks, terror incident may only be a rehearsal and canada is already -- syria is a target, kill all canadians and france which is rumored may invoke article 5 of the nato treaty which means mutual defense as america did after 911. that means canadians have to fight in syria. if that

the united states has conducted most of the astrikes up until now.re were 2800 strikes, 2600 were the u.s., and only a handful were from the french. now the french are stepping it up, they are bringing an aircraft carrier in, and the president says that will triple france's ability to provide aircraft to carry out some of those strikes. so you are going to see a much bigger participation from france at least in the immediate future. >> but in going after isil, france to the degree it was involved in the air war against the islamic state, was concentrating its fire mostly in western iraq and avoiding attacking syria. after friday night, does that open things up a little bit? will they be in addition to raqqa, which is in syria, will they be striking isil more on syrian national territory? >> yes, i think so. the pentagon makes point of saying france nominates the targets the u.s. approves them. and because the u.s. already has so much air power there, the value of these strikes a little more symbolic than strategic. it just shows the united states is

was that he would not tackle immigration, the broken immigration system that exists in the united states until was out of office. is this a responsible thing to do? >> well, i think that's the promise that he had to make to our gop conference. i just came from that meeting where speaker ryan was at. i value the close ties i have with him. he's a person of integrity and principle. now we know that he was with us in our battle to restore some fairness to this broken immigration system. however, not everyone in our caucus, republican caucus, agreed with that. and what ryan said is, look, now i was before an individual member. now as the head of our caucus, then i represent you. what is the will of the republican caucus? sadly, i'm sad to say that they're not with us yet on immigration reform, until we get border security, until we get that part of the puzzle first. so that's what ryan says. we're going to maybe tackle border security, gaining the trust of the american people. he's not going to be moving any immigration reform until we get that piece. and so i think that's the way that he was able

they should -- the obama administration should halt all the refugees from syria coming to the united states until they're able to figure out an adequate way to vet all of these refugees. not to mention on thursday we'll be having a committee hearing, first committee hearing on the issue since the paris attacks. kate? >> frank thorpe on capitol hill. let's go down the road to peter alexander covering the white house for us. peter, you are in the washington bureau today. how's the white house responding the all of these calls to limit the number of refugees who are indeed in some cases asking to stop the number of refugees coming from syria to the u.s.? >> the president's remarks today from turkey, he was at times defiant. at times defensive. one of the points that he clearly took issue with, in fact, without a question being asked of him, he concluded by saying that he did not want the refugees to be associated in direct connection with the idea of terrorism. that was the colleague richard engel said that's being done by the terrorists themselves as new evidence shows fingerprints from one of the

, as the united states federal govenment has made clear, they do not have the capability to distinguish between those refugees who can pose at terrorists and those who may be innocent. and until the united states develops that capability, it is essential that we do first things first and that is to keep the people%of the state of texas safe." governor branstad doesn't think states have the power to block the federal government from relocating refugees... 52:29 i don't know that the states have the authority to decide whether or not we can take refugees this is a federal program 52:37 53:48 we don't want to become like europe where they let all these refugees in and now they're faced with sending their police out to try round up the dangerous embeded isis militants that are part of it 54:01 a few hours after those comments.. governor branstad ordered all state agencies to stop all work on the relocation of syrian refugees to iowa. branstad says the order will remain in place until the federal government properly screens refugees and has security measures in place. the federal government has already relocated nearly 2-thousand syrian refugees. they were country in 130-cities...

resulted in a number of people being placed quote, on hold, not permitted to travel to the united states until security concerns can be resolved. i would like to conclude by dedicating my testimony here today to my maternal grandfather, who i actually never had the opportunity to meet. my grandfather was one of the leaders of the jewish community in cuba in the late 1930s and 1940s and among his activities as a leader that community was to attempt to assist refugees from nazi europe, some of whom had sought refuge here in the united states and were denied that refuge. many of us heard the stories of the st. louis, and who then traveled to cuba. some of whom were able to find refuge there, but some of whom were not. i intend as director of u.s. cis to honor his legacy first and foremost by making sure that we don't admit people who do us harm to the united states, but secondly, by making sure that we honor our tradition of offering refuge to those who so desperately need it. thank you. i look forward to answering the committee's questions. >> thank you very much, mr. rodriguez. excellent testim

anymore refugees from this dangerous zone of syria into the state of texas or into these other states until the united states of america can ensure the safety and security. the fbi, as well as other federal officials have made clear, they have no ability to ensure the safety and security of the people who are the refugees they are admitting into the united states of america. it's irresponsible for the states to be forced to accept these refugees. >> it's interesting because in doing a lot of research on what states have been accepting them since 2012, texas is number two. over 200 of those syrian refugees have come to the state of texas. this is an about face from you because of the paris attacks? >> exactly. first, one reason why texas is frustrated is because texas is done more than its fair share in receiving refugees. texas has done more than its fair share of accepting people that you've seen stream across or borders. we've had three isis related incidents already and now with the possible connection of one of the syrian refugees being involved in the terrorism attack in paris, texas is saying no

one is, suspending all of the syrian refugees, not allowing them into the united states until we understand're going to figure out who is who. we currently have no intelligence that would allow us any comfort to vet which are legitimate and which are purveyors of radicalism. there's a second problem i think the french are hiding from. it's fine to go and bomb syria, but the fact is, for example, there are an estimated 47 mosques in the paris region which teach sharreya. which suggests that jihad is legitimate to impose sharreya law. you're going to find most of the people involved in the killing last saturday were european citizen iz and not people coming from syria. there were belgians involved and at least one french citizen involved. that leads a question to home grown terrorism. and it will lead to a civil liberties debate. are we going to be intrusive to find out. remember, it only took eight people to pull off this massacre, that's a sobering thought about the kind of force multiplier the terrorists have. maria: it sure is. and in fact, jeb bush was speaking with fox and friends just

we have more individual campaign contributors than any campaign in the history of the united states up until this point. we are bringing out huge crowds. we are exciting a whole lot of people. look, we are taking on the political establishment, we are taking on the economic establishment, we started as an underdog, we are still an underdog. but the kind of enthusiasm that we are generating tells me that at the end of the day, we are going to win this election. >> there are indications in the poll that people don't think her private server or her e-mails are a problem. are you sorry now that you basically took her off the hook, gave her a pass on that in the debate? >> no. i am not sorry at all. as you have heard me say many times, andrea, i think that what campaigns are about and very often don't happen, is to discuss the major issues facing our country. you know, the e-mail situation with secretary clinton, that is under investigation. there's a process going on. let it go on. i want to discuss why the middle class of this country is disappearing, why we have massive levels of income and we

the consequences of what i call the obama doctrine and that doctrine says the united states should not have aforeign policy until a there's a refugee crisis or b there's a terrorist attack, so the fact in syria there's been a power vacuum for years because the united states has not lead, vladimir putin recognized that, he stepped in and i'll provide leadership. putin is not interested in fighting terrorism. he's interested in protecting assad the dictator and main -- maintaining access to military in the mediterranean. >> dagen: we as a member of this coalition, france, they don't want russia involved unless there's some agreement on how to treat or remove assad from power. how does it progress? what does russia do? >> john: russia is in a position where vladimir putin is playing to domestic audience. the message we need to send to putin is essentially to not escalate. they're going to create a security problem in the middle east. >> cheryl: the fact is putin is not going to stop. he and some would argue mÓnica that turkey is just as capable as russia is of making sure that assad stays in power. they actually wa

allow any of the estimated 10,000 syrians who are cleared for resettlement in the united states to live in their states until security and until screening measures can be better improved by their judgment. of course, even though they have the right to say that they can't -- that they don't want these people to live in their communities, there are questions though about how much their objections are really for political consumption. because there is a certain amount of anxiety here in the u.s. about what happened in paris on friday night. so while there are people who will argue that you can't be too careful, there also has to be reflected that any time that you want to show that you are tough on national security there is an opportunity and it could be that these governors are taking advantage of that right now. >> thank you rosiland jordan there in washington, d.c. >>> heavy rain in northern iraq has caused flooding in camps for those who have been displaced by violence in their country. aid agencies say, unless money comes very quickly indeed those will be vulnerable to disease. imran khan reports. >> a fe
