Sigh...."The rest of your comments are just speculation, most egregiously "not applicable to future years, as the US will no longer be conducting security screening" which seems not to be stated anywhere at all in the article, you appear to have simply manufactured it to try and support your position."

If the US continues to bar Syrian refugees in future years --->The US will not conduct security screenings (agree so far, yes?)  ---> My proposal to accept Syrians who have already received security screenings from the US will be "not applicable" ---- > Because there will be no more Syrians who have received screenings from the US!
