Religious groups in the United States have urged the White House to step up its response to the Syrian refugee crisis, with one on Tuesday calling Washington's efforts so far "disappointing."Church World Service, a global humanitarian organization that represents 37 Christian denominations, has called on the government to take in 100,000 Syrians over the next year, said Jen Smyers, who works on the group's immigration and refugee program.The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and the Jewish refugee assistance agency HIAS along with secular groups have also backed that figure.

I believe this will happen with no pushback from the GOP Congress.

The only logical outcome from allowing more muslims into our country is that more innocent Americans will be murdered by these so-called "refugees".

I would not mind taking Christian Syrians - the US govt is partially responsible for the persecution they have suffered. Christians had it pretty good under Assad, but when we started trying to remove him, they suffered.

Great. House them in your churches, and pay taxes to support them.

WE could gladly take Syrian Christians. Christians are something we are sorely in need of in the US.

Islam is the only reason for their persecution.

It depends on how you do it.

One family per thousand population, 20 per congressional district; no problem. Likely they will become assimilated.

Dump them all in a ghetto in say, Cincinnati; they become a separate country.

We did this with the Vietnamese in 1970s and they assimilated.

I’d bet that POS Obama quietly encouraged these groups to come out with this.

It’s going to happen.

But you know that isn’t what we’re going to get. And even if some claim they are Christians, how would you know?

I don’t believe for one second that the government of this country would bring in even a single christian from anywhere.

They might “tell us”, that they are Christians, but they won’t be.

How soon after these soft-headed Christians take-in moozlums will the moozlums murder the Christian families? Yes...take in those who desire to murder you...that makes sense. Naive at best.

There must be at least 100,000 Syrian Christians who have be adversely impacted. But of course, that would be “discriminatory” and “exclusionary”.

Muslim Syrians who are anti-Assad could flee to Saudi Arabia, the pro-Assad Muslim Syrians could flee to Iran.

Problem solved.

Well of course the Kenyan is not going to let any Christians in if he can help it. His goal is to get as many muzzies in here to help destroy our culture and way of life as soon as possible.

This is a front group being paid by the Leftists and Jen Smyers is an enemy of America trying to import those who will destroy our country and kill us.

The problem is...how do you prove thy're Christian?

Ann Coulter has an article out today and she mentions a refugee from one of the 'Stans, living in ID who is a jihadi. He was in contact with jihadists almost from the time he got here and he was arrested with bomb making materials. He and his whole family came over...claiming to be Christian refugees.
