3:56Now PlayingSeveral Republican primary candidates are saying America’s vetting process of refugees is weak and useless. Of course they’re wrong, we have one of the most robust screening processes in the world. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
