The White House is quietly pushing for an increase in refugees from Syria, despite new concerns raised by state and county officials that federal help is often missing when they arrive.
President Obama's assistant for immigration policy told a task force set up by the National Association of Counties that the U.S. is eyeing a bigger role to help alleviate the growing crisis.
"We want to make sure that we can increase our numbers of refugees that are able to settle here," Felicia Escobar said. "The need globally is so, so, so massive right now, given all the displacement and conflict around the world, but we also know that we have to do it in a way that's smart."
The issue has become a flashpoint in the presidential race and among governors who are concerned that Washington won't properly vet the refugees to weed out terrorists.
But locally, it's an issue of money and support. Sean Conway, a county commissioner from Weld County in Greeley, Colo., said he has had to "fight" with the State Department to get promised services such as healthcare and interpreters. Worse, he added, "Many times we don't even know that relocation is taking place until it's going on."
By law, the administration can let in some 10,000 Syrian refugees a year, though fewer have been. There are an estimated 4.2 million Syrian refugees.
Of course they do, and Obola has a pen and a phone.
Any questions?
So much damage to do. So little time left. Hurry, hurry,hurry.
Those who facilitate this invasion need to know that come the change, that there will be consequences and they will be judged.
No, the rapeugees need to fight against the islam that is destroying their home countries. America needs islam like a fish needs an airplane.
Should be worth about 10 more points for Trump in the polls.
This is Zero’s last middle finger to America
What say you HILLARY?
new concerns raised by state and county officials that federal help is often missing when they arrive.
Maybe these foolish folks in the State and County Governments should read the KELO Decision handed down by the supreme Court. If they did they would soon realize that they the ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO SEIZE PROPERTY FOR ECONOMIC GAIN.
And I would start by seizing the assets of FEDERAL EMPLOYEES to PAY FOR THESE FEDERAL PROGRAMS!!!
“Anything to hurt America”
The Democrat Party motto.
But Trump is racist so let them all in, no questions asked.
Oh, he’s far from done.
The White House wants to increase our national debt by $9T in these eight terrible years.
The White House wants to topple stable Arab governments that have large terrorists populations hoping to seize power.
The White House wants to disarm patriotic Americans and fill our military with homosexuals and transsexuals.
The White House wants to trample our First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion.
The White House wants to institute socialism in as many aspects of our economy as they can mismanage.
The White House wants to give legal status and citizenship to as many illegals as possible to change our country’s demographics and culture.
With all that, it is no surprise that they want to import even more terrorists during their last year in power.
After reading the story of the muslim walking around Moscow holding a severed child’s head and yelling Aloha Snackbar, I don’t see what could possible go wrong with importing more of these ROP members. /s
The bastard has ruined this country enough already.
Just a biotch for the House of Saud.
