The United States will be increasing the number of Syrian refugees allowed to resettle in the U.S. over the next few years, Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration Anne Richard said in an interview with Al-Monitor, a website focused on Middle East news, on Tuesday.
Richard said the U.S. plans to absorb up to 10,000 refugees annually, up from 350 this year — a significant uptick despite its drop-in-the-bucket effect on the total Syrian refugee population of 3.3 million.
A separate official noted to ABC News that the increase will happen gradually.
“The Syrian program is relatively new, so I think we’ll begin to see an appreciable uptick in 2015 with an increasing number in the years to follow,” the official said.
The official explained that the U.S. receives about 1,000 new Syrian referrals from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees each month.
Canada is also taking in thousands of Syrians.
What could possibly go wrong?
When will we ever learn?
Christians I hope.
This worked out GREAT for Minnesota and all those Black Hawk Down taxi guys who love driving flouncy guys and people with wine from the airport.
Great move..!
Real smart.
More sleeper cells, the treasonist commander and chief is driving more nails in our coffin while the GOP is more concerned with running another loser in 2016 and wanting to be loved. Many American want to COEXIST with these animals.
And the 10,000 each get to bring in 15 family members in the daisy chain, right? And we will be bringing in anti-Assad types (meaning ISIS/Sunni/Al Qeida)
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history....
We just saw what happens when you let in more and more muslims; once they hit critical mass they decide we must all bow down to them.
The Syrians I have met are all Christians.
.
Isn’t that nice. And who will be paying their rent and paying for their EBT cards? Oh, I forgot. You and I.
What will we get in return? Will the bearded savages love us and adapt to their new country and become useful, productive, non-violent citizens or will they breed little savages and savagettes who will attack us?
I hear Detroit has space available
Madness.
“Madness.”
You don’t understand......we bring them over HERE so we don’t have to fight them over THERE.
Isn’t that why we went to Iraq and Afghanistan, or did I get that backwards?
We don't need more Islam termites in this country. We already have way more than enough.
Scr*w the UN and their stupid edicts...
These are all muslims.
Who decides this? Obama?
Don’t we have a Congress?
And will they be Muslims or Christians (need I ask)?
Great, that’s all we need, more muslims. Do I need to add the sarc tag?
Oh, goood !
muslim soetoro’s transformation continues.
3 BILLION in Cromnibus to help bring all these refugees to America. The majority are Muslim, and they aren’t all from Syria.
