Trump says Syrian refugees aren't vetted. They are, and we're living proof.

President Trump says that it is not safe to accept certain kinds of refugees without "extreme vetting" that he has yet to detail. So he has now banned people from seven countries, including Syria, which I fled with my family in 2014. But we were thoroughly vetted before we came here, just like other refugees - exhaustively, endlessly vetted. We are not terrorists. And if we'd been stopped from coming here, we would be suffering horribly right now.
