While Lindsey Graham certainly isn't the most stable of Republican Presidential candidates, it's not something I'd expect to see come out of his mouth.

 

I believe we should accept Syrian refugees without question, but they should be restricted to government housing facilities (on military bases, for example) until their backgrounds can be vetted. Any that have any ties to known terror groups or known, extensive criminal histories should be sent back. I might even err on the side of caution and assume that people who literally have no history are concealing their true identity, and strongly consider sending them back, too. Once they're cleared, they're issued visas to stay in the US for a set amount of time. Those visas can be extended, and they could even be considered part of a path to citizenship.

 

Once the government housing facilities are full, no more refugees are accepted until enough space opens for another plane full of them to take up residence. It's a little spartan, yeah, but when you're talking about taking in potentially a million or more people from Syria, the possibility of a few of them taking advantage of the US' generosity to sneak in terror group operatives is nonzero, and has to be taken into consideration.
