How the U.S. screens Syrian refugees

 

 

 

In this “60 Minutes” segment, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson explains the government’s “thorough” vetting process for Syrian refugees.  It sounds pretty thorough to me but apparently is not the “extreme vetting” called for by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

In addition, Bill Whitaker reports on the Syrian refugee crisis and follows Syrian families from Jordan through the vetting process to their new homes in the U.S.
