US Bishops Call for Influx of 200,000 Refugees

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is appealing to the U.S. government to take in 100,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, along with an additional 100,000 from other countries. The population of Syrian refugees is overwhelmingly Muslim.

In a message distributed via email, the USCCB is encouraging Catholics to submit a letter to their congressional representatives as well as to President Obama urging the government to "protect the lives and dignity of people in Syria, Iraq and in other countries suffering war, persecution and poverty." According to the pre-transcribed letter this is to be accomplished by accepting "more Syrian refugees — especially the most vulnerable — and ensur[ing] their safe resettlement" while providing "generous aid to nations in the Middle East that are hosting millions of refugees."

Lucrative business being paid by the gov’t for providing services to “refugees”.

It’s perfectly okay with me, as long as the “U.S. Bishops” are willing to house, feed and clothe each and every one of the 200,000 “refugees” at their own expense; and as long as the “U.S. Bishops” will agree to accept personal responsibility for every crime and/or act of terrorism committed by the 200,000 “refugees”.

Critics are concerned that Muslim terrorists could smuggle in jihadists among refugees

In addition to the "terrorists" don't overlook the fact that the other Muslims coming in, themselves, are a problem for us.-Tom

Send 200,000 refugees from Syria directly to the Vatican and another 200,000 refugees from Somalia directly to the Vatican so that they can experience the increase in rapes, murders, robberies, and terrorism like the State of Minnesota has since the Obama influx of Somali illegals!

Didn't think so, nor should the American people stand by and allow our Country to be over run by these illegals being shipped, flown, and driven across the border into our Country by this out of control Government!

The backlash is coming, wait for it, it is coming! May even come in the form of a civil war, the reason the Obama administration just announced the formation of a another Government Department specifically to go after domestic Americans in the homeland of this Country who stand up to this out of control government and demand that all illegals go home or are arrested held and then departed back to their country of origin!

Wait for it, the clash is coming, one or the other will have to back down, either the American people will allow themselves to be run roughshod over by this government or we the American people will stand up and demand this invasion of our country stop immediately and those responsible for it be arrested, prosecuted and sent to prison! This is the reason for the current push for confiscation of American firearms, so the American people cannot take a stand against this armed government! Bullshit! For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction and the American people will make this next civil war look like a scorched earth movement, the likes no one has ever seen before in the history of this earth! Wait for it, it is coming by design!

So are Catholics going to now revolt, or are they going to lay on the “we’ve had good and bad clergyman many times in the past” excuse again?

A lifelong Catholic, this is one of a dozen reasons I left this corrupt cesspool of a church. They’ll never get another dime out of me. As a threat to our liberty, the church is second only to the US government.
