THE FACTS
As we have explained before, the only thing close to a 200,000 figure is an announcement in September by Secretary of State John Kerry that the United States was prepared to boost the number of total refugees accepted from around the world in fiscal 2016, from 70,000 to 85,000. Then, in 2017, Kerry said that 100,000 would be accepted.
That adds up to 185,000 over two years. But this would be the total number of refugees, not the number of refugees from Syria.
By law, the president every fiscal year sets the maximum number of refugees the United States can accept in a year. (Note to Carson: This is not done by executive order; it is a legal requirement.) Over the past decade, the annual limit has been between 70,000 and 80,000, according to the Congressional Research Service. (In fiscal 2013, about 30 percent came from the Middle East, mostly from Iraq.) So, 100,000 from around the world in 2017 would be a big jump, assuming Obama goes through with the pledge to authorize that level. But nothing is set in stone.
As for Syria, Obama has only directed the United States to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next year. That's certainly an increase — fewer than 2,200 Syrians have been admitted to the United States since the uprising began in March 2011, according to State Department officials -- but it's hardly the flood that Trump worries about. (Indeed, it's only a drop in the bucket of some 4 million Syrian refugees.) In theory, if Obama lifted the ceiling to 100,000 in 2017 and then filled the gap entirely with Syrians, that would be 25,000 more -- but that's still far less then 100,000.

According to WaPo:
Of those admitted to the United States so far, about half have been children and a quarter are adults over 60. There are slightly more men than women, but only 2 percent of those admitted are single males of combat age, officials said.
What if just 10% are Refujihadist?
1,000 terrorist in waiting on US soil.
No Thanks!
Obama knows that his time is short, so he must commit as much evil as possible against us.
Liars.
But, they can each bring multiple family members down the line.
The number given to the press was 10,000. The media ran with it and repeated it. It was never going to be 10,000. It was going to be as many as he could get away with.
And it is not just they but the next generation will continue to pose a danger as we already have seen from the Somalis this country has imported.
Glenn Kessler = another useful Obamunist idiot.

Dear WaPo: Obama lies, a lot.
WaPo...repeat after me: People have lost its trust in you and your MSM government propaganda machine. You report nothing but agenda.
One is one too many. We are at war!
“Repeat after me....”
Condescending libtard turd.
Why cant we stick the entire 200000 refugees into your house you dumbsh*t liberal. ..
Thank you. Indeed, one is too many.
How many terrorists does it take to bring down an airliner; to hose down a theater with his AK; to set off a bomb in a neighborhood; to blow himself up at a football game...?
If only 2% of thoese 185,000 Syrians are terrorists, we have a big, big problem - which could easily be avoided by finding them someplace to stay in their home countries.
Oh, all of a sudden we're paying attention to "legal requirements."
