Sen. Ted Cruz: Allowing Syrian refugees into US is 'crazy'
AP/Stars & Stripes ^ | 10/5/15 | David Eggert

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz on Monday called the Obama administration's plan to accept refugees from war-torn Syria "nothing short of crazy," because he believes some are Islamic State terrorists.

"There is a reason the director of national intelligence said among those refugees are no doubt a significant number of ISIS terrorists," the Texas senator told a crowd of hundreds in a Michigan campaign stop, using an acronym for the Islamic State group. "It would be the height of foolishness to bring in tens of thousands of people including jihadists that are coming here to murder innocent Americans."

It would be crazy even if they were refugees.

They’re economic migrants.

In Europe, they head for Germany and Scandinavia to mooch off those countries generous social welfare systems.

That hardly seems like the behavior of people fleeing persecution.

And if they’re not economic migrants, they can be terrorists.

No one remembers all the criminals Castro sent here with Mariel refugees.

Europe doesn’t want them. Why we are we obligated to take them in - misplaced sense of generosity?

These people are NOT REFUGEES. Refugees come with their wives and children. These are unmarried 21 to 40 year old men who come with the goal of forming battalions and regiments. The people are an army coming to take over and occupy.

Then why let Crazy Barack get away with yet another nail in our coffin?

Will they fly first class at our expense. No wonder we hate to give the central communist government any of our money to squander on things that will end up killing us.

Swear out a warrant for his arrest. Haul him out of the White Hut and toss him in a federal prison for life....or even worse.

That’s what Generalissimo Franco or Pinochet would have done, but then they loved their countries enough to cleanse them of the filth that had infected them to the point of death.

I love the rational of the Democrats. “We have to let in all of them because one bad person doesn’t constitute the entire bunch being bad.”

When applied to the recent mass killing by a leftwing lunatic who couldn’t even land a loose liberal chick, to the Rats their own their doesn’t apply.

It truly is bizarro world.

Okay. Okay!

Let’s let them in on your say so, but if one citizen is murdered, raped or a terrorist act is committed by one of them, then we’ll pick one of you each time to swing for the crime.

We have open borders, we have sanctuary cities, and we have a completely messed-up immigration system.

ANYONE can come here who wants to, including refugees from Syria, and if they go to places like San Francisco or New York they will be protected against deportation.

So what does it mean for Ted Cruz to announce that he’s against Syrian refugees entering our country? All it means is that he’s willing to stoop to the level of xenophobic bombast to try to bring his poll numbers up to a respectable level.

“It would be the height of foolishness to bring in tens of thousands of people including jihadists that are coming here to murder innocent Americans.”

Ted Cruz Bump.

But I’ll go you one better, Ted: “It would be foolishness to bring in tens of thousands of people.”

PERIOD. Worst employment participation rate since Jimmy Carter, $18 trillion in debt with tens of millions already sucking off “entitlement” programs, and all of the net job creation of the last few years not even covering the number of new immigrants, let alone growing the job market for citizens.

Obviously we shouldn’t let ragheads in. Also, we shouldn’t let anyone (with a very few exceptions) in for several years while we build a fence, deport illegals by removing the magnets, and getting our own house in order.

Get on board, Ted.
