We Need 65,000 Syrian Refugees Here, Really?
Virginia Free Citizen ^ | June 18, 2015 | Suzanne Shattuck

Posted on 06/18/2015 12:11:07 PM PDT by RightSideNews

The US Department of State, DHS, and 14 Democrat Senators, including Senator Kaine (see his press release), are begging for 65,000 Syrian refugees to be settled in our communities and without your consent. Virginia only has 17 Syrian refugees at last count, so is Virginia under review for the next huge wave?

As thousands of new immigrants are slated to arrive over the next few years, the chances of rubbing shoulders with Islamic terrorists increase dramatically. According to Refugee Resettlement Watch, the percentage of Muslim refugees in America was close to zero in the 1990’s. By the year 2000 it was 44%. Post 9/11 that number dropped, but now sits at 40% and rising.

A fact sheet from the website states, “Membership in a U.S.-registered Islamic terrorist group is not a bar to entry on the program as long as the refugee was not a “direct participant” in “terrorist” activity.” This raises even more red flags about this business as it relates to security for Virginians.

Presently our cities and towns are being flooded with refugees who are not only coming across our southern border, but are being flown in from places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Somalia and now Syria.  Leo Hohmann with World Net Daily reports 65,000 are to be brought to America from Syria over the next several years. This recommendation is from the Refugee Council USA, (RCUSA), as stated verbatim in their document, titled "COMMENTS OF REFUGEE COUNCIL USA REGARDING THE U.S. REFUGEE ADMISSIONS PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015on page 2:

Since UNHCR is seeking 30,000 slots for 2014, and 100,000 additional slots for 2015 and 2016, RCUSA recommends that over the next three years, the United States should resettle at least 65,000 Syrians, in addition to continuing to resettle refugees from other parts of the world. The 65,000 figure is based on the expectation that the United States will continue its tradition of accepting at least half of all UNHCR referrals for any given population.
Incidentally, there are nine agencies who work with the State Department to move immigrants here and the RCUSA lobbies for contracts with them. The United Nations is heavily involved in the process of refugee placement, to the point of handpicking which ones participate in the arrangement.

Some of the nine agencies include groups like the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, World Relief, and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Wait for it…these groups get paid per head.

Please look at the money being granted to them from your taxes here. Under this shroud of supposed compassion is a behemoth human trafficking operation.  Once these agencies receive money from the government, they are prohibited from sharing Biblical faith with them. This fact alone makes me question the motive of these certain church groups.

What seems to be happening, specifically with the Muslim immigrants, is they are being encouraged not to assimilate. For example, Nashville’s Chief Academic Officer, Jay Steele, commented on Arabic classes that are being offered in many of their schools. “Heritage Arabic classes are meant to build off the skills students in the districts already have. We believe it will help them be more engaged in school as a whole and also help them stay connected to their native culture.” Read more about Nashville area schools here.

I don’t think staying connected to cultures from battling Islamic countries is a dependable recipe for producing law-abiding, freedom loving Americans. This was the case with the Tsarnaev brothers. They came to the U.S. from Chechnya when they were young boys. Their parents were asylum seekers who left the fighting in their homeland, but carried hate with them. The boys grew up attending a Boston mosque which is known for teaching distrust and animosity towards the West.

Abdulrahman Alamoudi was the first president of that mosque. Alamoudi is now serving federal prison time for his involvement in the failed assassination attempt of the Saudi crown-prince several years ago in Libya. These boys eventually killed three people, and maimed many others in the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing.

This scenario can happen when you combine Muslim immigrants who have been taught to vehemently detest the American way of life coupled with constant reinforcement of those views in mosques here on our soil. Many refugees aren’t coming here for love of freedom and the desire to work hard to learn about their new country. No, the very country who has given them: food, shelter, healthcare, education, and above all, liberty is abhorred. I believe allowing certain refugees, those not properly vetted, to reestablish themselves here will produce future security risks for American citizens.

I wonder if Senator Kaine has considered the fact there are no solid records available from a failed state like Syria. In order to thoroughly check backgrounds of possible refugees coming to this country and likely Virginia, you would need detailed information.

I guess we are to be comforted by a belief that the UN has our best interest at heart. They would never allow anyone to come to our country who would want to harm its citizens in any way. Really?

When the State Department was asked about the specifics of their vetting process by Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., he was told, “the details of these checks are classified.” So, much for transparency.

Even the FBI’s new head of the Cincinnati division says, “the threat of homegrown terrorists in her native state is surprising and scary. I’m not sure the general public quite gets the gravity of it,” she said.

It seems like there isn’t a week that goes by where we don’t have a terrorist attack or attempted attack on American soil. This number is set to steadily increase considering our open borders, refugee resettlement programs, encouragement for immigrants to adhere to their culture rather than assimilate, and the presence of numerous Mosques across the country purportedly preaching jihad to their members on a regular basis.

I believe many elected officials, from the President on down, are not making decisions for the safety of American citizens when it comes specifically to Refugee Resettlement. These public “servants” habitually disregard their oath of office. It is done by not providing for the common defense against enemies both foreign and domestic. Instead, they arrange for foreign enemies to become domestic, paving the way to our doorsteps.

Let the Christian Syrians come. Not that many of them are left, as they are being killed and forced to flee with just the shirts on their backs.

I know one family of Syrian Christians here in Va.

Also of Sudanese Christian refugees.

These folks do need our love and support.

Part of Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama's plan to "fundamentally change America".

I'd say contact you're 'representative' to stop it, but unless you've got a wad of cash, they won't even listen.

IF Congress had any balls they would ban all Muslims from immigrating here. Druze, Christian, and others are okay because they don’t have a 1400 year record of conquest and murder.

“We Need 65,000 Syrian Refugees Here, Really?”

We really do. The fifth column that has already entered the country is not nearly large enough yet. (Oh, hell, do I HAVE to apply the < /sarcasm > tag?)

Not to say that every one of the 65,000 are Jihadists, but if the ratio that prevails throughout just about every other random group of Muslims holds true, about 10% is already radicalized. And be sure, almost NONE of the refugees will be of other than Muslim ethnicity.

IS THIS CULTURAL RAPE?

“Rape” (noun)
“The crime of using force or the threat of force to compel a person to submit to sexual intercourse.”
My and my wife’s ancestors – all of them – jumped through all the hoops to come here legally. And I have absolutely NO problem with productive, hard-working citizens from FRIENDLY nations jumping through the same hoops to become ASSIMILATED Americans. And I have no problem even with those from officially UNfriendly places who, having helped us there at some point, have been threatened with death for doing so coming here to become Americans after thorough vetting.
I caught a statistic recently that indicated over 70% of Americans want our borders secured and the illegal tidal wave to stop.
I’m betting that MANY of the folks destined to be settled in already established upper-middle class and higher areas will be these Third Worlders. You see, it’s all part of the BIG PLAN.
Can someone explain WHY Obama’s insertion of illegals/aliens – under threat of force – from all over the world into what little remains of American culture is NOT an act of CULTURAL RAPE?
If you’re a so-called “progressive” reading this and find it too complicated to fully grasp, here’s a simpler analogy: Think of Obama as a rapist, the remnants of American culture as his victim and the Third World aliens he’s forcing on many of our communities as his penis.
There, is that better?
Over 220 years ago, Mr. Jefferson put it in far more elegant terms:
”Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies (RAB: I would add to that dictatorships/tyrannies). Yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislature. (They will attain public office and legislative influence.) They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass.”
Thanks to Obama’s ongoing ravaging of America and culture here, we HAVE BECOME that “...heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass.”
(The Cliff Notes version: They come HERE to escape THERE only to find that they have turned HERE INTO THERE!)

It’s always about money.

They moved a family of Sudanese Christians next door to my Aunt. Full welfare ride, scholarships for all the kiddies paid for by the American taxpayer courtesy of Catholic Charities. If you want to support them then invite them to live with you.

These are the actions of an enemy government which is engaged in changing its ruled population into one more to its liking. The US is importing large populations of individuals and cultures that will never assimilate and are actually encouraged not to assimilate. These same populations contain many unscreened criminals and probable terrorists. Such programs are the acts of a government at war with its own citizens.
