U.S. plots with United Nations to expand Syrian refugees from 10,000 to 200,000

In a move around the standard refugee settlement process in America, the United Nations and the administration are scheming to find other ways to boost the number of Syrians entering the country, from 10,000 this year to possibly 200,000.

U.S. officials, meeting with United Nations human rights officials in Geneva, joined in a project that looks to "alternative safe pathways" to setting Syrian refugees in America and Europe that include pushing colleges and universities to offer tuition programs and encouraging Syrians already in the country to open their homes to those who've fled the war-torn Middle East nation.

The plan already has one victory. Last week, the University of Southern California revealed that it is offering five free tuition programs for Syrian refugees, including one in the school's journalism program.

The effort was revealed Monday in a Center for Immigration Studies post. It quoted a Georgetown University professor and U.N. refugee policy advisor who spelled out the backdoor plan to settle thousands more Syrians past the 10,000 President Obama has pledged to OK this year.

Beth Ferris, a research professor at Georgetown University and U.N. advisor, even suggested a total of 200,000 at a recent Brookings Institution conference:

"Refugees and government officials are expecting this crisis to last 10 or 15 years. It's time that we no longer work as business as usual ... UNHCR next month is convening a meeting to look at what are being called 'alternative safe pathways' for Syrian refugees. Maybe it's hard for the U.S. to go from 2,000 to 200,000 refugees resettled in a year, but maybe there are ways we can ask our universities to offer scholarships to Syrian students. Maybe we can tweak some of our immigration policies to enable Syrian-Americans who have lived here to bring not only their kids and spouses but their uncles and their grandmothers. There may be ways that we could encourage Syrians to come to the U.S. without going through this laborious, time-consuming process of refugee resettlement."

The Geneva meeting took place March 30 and CIS had the details on what occurred.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, told representatives of 92 nations that they needed to explore "alternative avenues" for the admission of Syrian refugees. He said:

"These pathways can take many forms: not only resettlement, but also more flexible mechanisms for family reunification, including extended family members, labor mobility schemes, student visa and scholarships, as well as visa for medical reasons. Resettlement needs vastly outstrip the places that have been made available so far... But humanitarian and student visa, job permits and family reunification would represent safe avenues of admission for many other refugees as well."

The good news is there are not enough airplanes available to pull off this 200,000 Syrian influx and Trump or Cruz are president in January 2017 God willing and put an end to the non stop abomination.

Obama’s “Muslim refugee” wet dreams get screwed by the logistics.

It’s already happening and in a big way. Syrians, Somalians, even Russian and Romanians.

Jerry Brown has opened the flood gates.

I just have to wonder where citizens come into this mix.

Obama is an angel of death and destruction

The faux Nobel Peace Prize winner has turned Iraq, Syria, Libya and nearly Egypt, upside down, and have shaken loose millions of refugees and opportunists looking to live off Western nanny-states fed by fake, printed money and debt.

The question on my mind:

My neighbor’s back door is about 25 feet from my backdoor.

If I had a 12-yr-old daughter leaving my back door for school at the same time one of Obama’s Syrian refugee young men (who perhaps gets subsidized housing right next door to me) leaves his back door . . . would my daughter ever be seen alive again?

but maybe there are ways we can ask our universities to offer scholarships to Syrian students.

oh sure. with all the scholarships handed out now, it's surprising there's any left for Americans - who are paying via higher tuition for all these 'free' scholarships.

If it wasn’t for the US, the Syrian refugee problem would have been contained to the ME. The US is helping to spread muzzie terror throughout the West. What Merkel is to Germany, Obama is to the US.

It's not going to be 200k. Think more like 40 million. The left and the right after been gearing up for this invasion since GWB and they will force it through in the coming years if we don't have Nationalist America first leader.

it would be nice if someone, anyone in congress had enough guts to stand up and say “In light of hte fact that refugees have proven to be a danger to society in europe and elsewhere, and women and children are being raped in record numbers by refugees- We the congress and senate refuse to allow any m ore refugees into this country until the issue can be investigated further, and any action to import more will be seen as a hostile act against the citizens of htis country and we will immediately start impeachment proceedings if necessary!
