White House Launches #RefugeesWelcome Hashtag

The Obama administration launched a hashtag last night to promote the concept of welcoming Syrian refugees into the United States after a growing number of governors proposed halting the program after the terrorist attacks in Paris.

The White House debuted a hashtag on their Facebook page last night: #RefugeesWelcome

“Even as we intensify our efforts in coordination with our partners to take out ISIL, we cannot turn our backs on those most threatened by the terrorist group,” the message on the White House page read.

A video on the page insisted that U.S. law enforcement officials were vetting each of the refugees before allowing them to settle in the United States.

On the White House website, Deputy Assistant to the President for Homeland Security Amy Pope denounced Republicans for calling to block refugees in the country.

“The Administration rejects the flawed view that we can’t ensure our own safety while also welcoming refugees desperately seeking their own safety,” she wrote. “The truth is: America can and must do both.”

The Obungle regime reaches a new level of patheticness. Our enemies will get a good laugh.

This isn't meant for the poor refugees; this is nothing more than obama poking his finger in conservatives eyes. I think he likes doing this, plus it excites his base.

They’ve jumped the shark-again-by not paying attention to what we the people people are saying...

I have come to the conclusion that teamobama wants us to get attacked. The terrorist will have been able to buy the guns here and then obama will use that excuse to shut down the 2nd amendment. It is the only thing that makes sense to me about these refuges/invaders.

Great picture post illustrating Obola’s leadership weakness and his Downlow bathhouse preference.

Here’s another one which Obama will no doubt wish to employ: “Terrorist Thugs and Cold-Blooded Murderers Welcome”

This is jaw-dropping in its stupidity.

I keep thinking that too. But I am amazed at the mindset of liberals. I was in a meeting yesterday and one of the guys, who BTW makes very good money, started complaining about our Governor not wanting the refugees. He was bitching about how the State governors did not have the authority and the lib talking point about “we are a nation of immigrants”. I have a big sore on my tongue from biting it!

He wants his best buddies to come here and he doesn’t care what they do to his fellow countrymen.

It reminds me of the scene in ‘Independence Day’, where all the ditzy New Agers are welcoming the aliens on top of the skyscraper. Then they get zapped to Kingdom Come...

Obama can put them in his empty Chicago house.

I want to see the stats for the number of Syrian males ages 15 to 65 versus females. Males and females, not men and women. The administration keeps dumping men in their twenties as children.

I don’t see the WH giving those out.
