BEIRUT (AP) — An international aid group has called on the United States to resettle 65,000 Syrian refugees before the end of 2016.

David Miliband, the President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, tells The Associated Press that the whole international community shares responsibility for the consequences of the Syrian civil war.

Miliband, a former U.K. Foreign Secretary, says the U.S. has traditionally taken half the world's registered refugees who resettle in third countries and that the United Nations says it wants 130,000 refugees from Syria resettled in the wealthier countries of the world by the end of 2016. Half of that number would be 65,000.

The FBI has said in public testimony that there is no possible way to investigate the background of these 65,000 Syrians. A large percentage will be violent terrorists and there is no possible way to figure out which ones.

"before the end of 2016. "

This needs to be DELAYED UNTIL AFTER JAN. 20TH, 2017 when we HOPEFULLY get an AMERICAN in the White House WHO SAYS 'NO, NO, NO, NO AND NO!'

I'm so SICK and tired of everyone sticking it to America as they take advantage of having a Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien terrorist lover in the WH!

I haven’t kept up with this in some time... But why does it always seem that it is the United States that has to take in ‘Refugees’?

Put them all on an island with the thousands of new illegal alien invaders and let them duke it out for immigration rights.

Ive had the following friends who have found it impossible to immigrate to the USA. A Russian with a law degree and an MBA. A French citizen with an MBA, and a Brit with nursing certificates.

Educated white people who are ready to contribute and build a good life are persona non grata. Meanwhile every strip of third worlder and Moslem is brought here straight from the mud hut, the feces filled Chinese fish farm, or the barbaric moslem world.

Our government is the enemy. Bush and Obama are equally guilty.

Limit the migrants to Christians, no more Moslems!

To Miliband:

We're full. F-O.

They're all YOURS.

Also, ESAD.

This probably explains the Leftists stance on Islam over Christianity lately. They're
planting their seeds of support for Votes...

No Mr. Miliband, I do not share in the responsibility of the consequences of the Syrian civil war.

They are camel jockeys, they can remain over there and rebuild their own country and not tear mine down by turning it into a mid eastern slop hole.

islam is incompatible with the concept of nation-states. It is also incompatible with civilized societies. In fact the ONLY reason that there are islamic countries that have some semblance of civility, is the effect of European and American colonialisation in the 19th century. The colonisers removed the most virulent aspects of muhamedanism by brutal force, ‘civilising’ the religion. With the end of colonial occupation after WW2, the virulent aspects are free to expand.

From the people whose favorite word is “Democracy” but will rearrange national demographics whether the peasants like it or not.
