LA Times story: US not doing enough for refugees, but look what creeps in at the end (a warning!)
by Ann Corcoran
O.K. So the news story entitled, 'U.S. response to refugee crisis is nowhere near that of Europe,' starts out just like what you would expect from the LA Times carrying the water for the open borders Leftists who complain that the US is not acting fast enough to bring in tens of thousands of mostly Muslim Syrian refugees. Blah! Blah! Blah!
But, then check out the last few paragraphs as a warning creeps in from a Professor, Jeffrey Bale, of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey. I am heartened to know that there are professors like Bale in academia, and that mainstream media publications are quoting him!
Security concerns with refugees are legitimate! We know that, but do readers of this LA Times story know it? Here is what reporter, Carol J. Williams, has helpfully added at the end of her story (for readers who get that far!):
Some scholars of terrorism chafe at the criticism that the U.S. doesn't do enough to help refugees from the Middle East's caldron of conflicts.
"I don't really agree with the premise that the U.S. is somehow being unresponsive," said Jeffrey Bale, a professor of nonproliferation and counter-terrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey. "On the contrary, the refugee resettlement program in the U.S. has already taken in hundreds of thousands of Somalis and a significant number of Iraqis, and is now recommending taking in tens of thousands of Syrians, even though those Somali refugees have since created lots of problems." [By the way, we have admitted almost 150,000 Iraqis since Bush's last year in office and at least two thirds of them are Muslim Iraqis---ed]
He was referring to increased crime rates and welfare dependency, as well as security threats posed by inadequate vetting of migrants to prevent Islamic extremists from gaining entry to the United States and other Western countries.
Why aren't rich Arab gulf states taking refugees, why are these refugees the responsibility of the West? "Nor do I believe that it is mainly the responsibility of Western countries to resolve the refugee problems in non-Western parts of the world marked by war, other kinds of violence, poverty and disease. Why don't the wealthy Arab gulf states, which are awash in oil money, take in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of these Muslim refugees? Or why don't nearby Muslim countries put pressure on [Syrian President Bashar Assad's] regime or take military action against jihadist groups, actions which might significantly reduce the number of internal and external refugees in the first place?"
The USA doesn't have to anything for the damn "refugees".
Please!
We’ve been taking in the worst the world has to offer since Kennedy’s abominable 1965 “Immigration Act”.
How much is enough?
This “migrant crisis” cooked up by the elites is all a push for their wetdream of a OWG. Break down borders, break down societies and cultures. Erase Western Religion (Judaism/Christianity).
Libs won’t like the end result, but it’ll be too late.
How many Cuban boat people did Saudi Arabia take in? How come nobody complained about their lack of participation?
Which always has me scratching my head as to why Catholics overwhelmingly seem to support this?
Libya will soon be the same and its Obama and Hillary's fault
And this woman has a Ph.D.
I'm surprised at these educated individuals who have absolutely no understanding of basic economics. Do they really think we can just wave a magic wand and all these benefits will be provided to the refugees without cost.
Nor the nature of Islam.
-— And this woman has a Ph.D. -—
More knowledge about less and less, not general knowledge.
Not doing enough for “refugees”? Your president Obonzo is sending airliners down to pick them up and has the border patrol making their beds, changing diapers and doing their laundry for Pete’s sake. Retards shouldn’t write newspaper articles for the La La Times!
If it makes it any easier to break the news to her, please tell her that you posed her suggestion to a bunch of smart people of your acquaintance and we all said she was a complete idiot; somehow educated but still stupid.
The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea. Mao Zedong
Just as the people were the sea the Communist guerilla swam in, this hoard of refugees is the sea in which Islamic terrorists will swim into our country.
With as little moral obligation.
“refugees” really are invaders.
The Hijrah Into Europe “Refugees” colonize a continent.

I don’t personally know any Catholic who does.
Thought the point of Catholic was that it was this huge organization, not some small congregation in a corner.
