Mrs. Ed whinneyed:
If elected president, Hillary Clinton could permanently resettle close to one million Muslim migrants during the first term of her presidency alone, according to the latest available data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

"In fact, Hillary Clinton supports a radical 550% increase in Syrian refugees coming into the United States, and that's an increase over President Obama's already very high number,"

Trump said."Under her plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from the most dangerous countries on Earth -- with no way to screen who they are or what they believe," he continued.

Clinton said on CBS's "Face the Nation" on September 20 that she would like to see the United States accept more refugees than Obama's plan to increase to 10,000 per fiscal year 2016."Look, we're facing the worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II and I think the United States has to do more, and I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in," Clinton said, implying that her figure, like Obama's, was per fiscal year.That would be a 550% increase in total refugees, so we rate that part of Trump's claim as true.

However, Trump continued saying that there is no way to screen those immigrants.

There is a vetting system in place, which begins with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, according to the White House. This group collects identification documents, performs an initial assessment, and interviews applicants to confirm refugee status and the need for resettlement. They then refer strong candidates for resettlement to the United States.

The Resettlement Support Center compiles a file on each refugee and then the security checks begin. The National Counterterrorism Center, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the State Department are all involved in these security checks. Before arrival in the United States, refugees are interviewed, fingerprinted and given medical screenings, among other security checks.

Finally, they arrive in the United States, go through U.S. Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Center and then must apply for a green card within a year of arrival, which triggers another set of security procedures.While it is true that there is no screening system that is foolproof, to say that there is no way to screen refugees or that Clinton believes that they should not be vetted is false.
