I hope the US has vetted refugees to ensure that they support values compatible with the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

Let's see, how to vett the refugees? I know! We can give them ALL truth serum and put them on a lie detector. As to American values? I see American values as figuratively and literally, "all over the map"! For example, a Texas Cattle Rancher would have different American values than a San Francisco rock and roll singer. They are BOTH Americans. I just wanted to point out that "American Values" is sort of a generic term.
