US Congress questions plan to admit Syrian refugees
reuters ^ | Jan. 30, 2015

The Republican-led House Committee on Homeland Security is challenging an Obama administration plan to admit Syrian refugees to the United States, saying it could allow potential terrorists to sneak into the country.

In a letter sent to the White House, Michael McCaul, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee and Peter King and Candice Miller, who chair subcommittees, said the administration's plan "raises serious national security concerns."

The letter, dated Wednesday, said the United States lacks the resources to fully investigate the backgrounds of refugees from Syria, a base for Islamic State militants, before they are admitted to the country.

Asking a few question pretending to be interested? Very clever.

Yes, the prime purpose of this *IS* to allow terrorists to “sneak” into the country. It’s not the terrorists doing the sneaking, but this regime doing it.

50,000 coming to Louisville. As if the city doesn’t already have enough problems with Obama’s sons.

This is a deliberate and carefully contrived plan to destroy Americas cities & further the cause of Islam and Sharia law in the US. Everyone involved, all the way to the top, should be tried for treason.

Again!

Here is the reason.

OBAMA’S TEMPER TANTRUM AT TOP U.S. MILITARY BRASS

In a fit of rage, Obama snaps at U.S.military brass: “Don’t you dare try and paint all of Islam with the same brush”.

Showing his Muslim stripes, Obama threw a hissy fit and stomped out of a Pentagon meeting about the bombing campaign against ISIS over remarks allegedly tying the Islamic State (ISIS) to Islam.

His tantrum reportedly took place in the afternoon of last week just prior to the president’s departure to Camp David . It was an informal briefing on the expanded bombing campaigns to take place in both Syria and Iraq . Halfway through the already very brief briefing, President Obama stood up clearly agitated, and walked out of the room.

The casually dressed Obama returned to the briefing moments later with a senior adviser alongside him, though his mood continued to indicate he was still very upset.

The senior adviser made a couple pointed remarks to the Pentagon representatives, reminded them the president had already had a very busy day, and then both she and the president once again left the room. Within seconds, Barack Obama returned again to the just concluded briefing, pointing at the still seated Pentagon staff and indicating how “inappropriate” it was to “try and paint all of Islam with the same brush.” The president repeated similar remarks, his mood going from agitation to outrage. His voice carried to several other West Wing offices.

The senior adviser, who did not originally return with the president into the briefing, suddenly re-appeared alongside him, as well as the president’s personal aide. She was smiling, and telling everyone “we’re done here” which she repeated several times and then led the president back out into the hallway.

“There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

When you read this you will understand why Obama refuses to say the words “radical Islam.”.

Did you know that we now have a Muslim government?

John Brennan, current head of the CIA converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia .

Obama’s top advisor, Valerie Jarrett, is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live.

Hillary Clinton’s top advisor, Huma Abedin is a Muslim, whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt .

Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a Muslim.

Homeland Security Advisor, Mohammed Elibiary, is a Muslim.

Obama advisor and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati, is a Muslim.

Obama’s Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America is a Muslim.

Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Eboo Patel, is a Muslim.

And last but not least, our closet Muslim himself, Barack Hussein Obama.

It’s questionable if Obama ever officially took the oath of office when he was sworn in. He didn’t repeat the oath properly to defend our nation and our Constitution. Later the Democrats claimed he was given the oath again….in private?

CIA director John Brennan took his oath on a copy of the Constitution, not a Bible.

Congressman, Keith Ellison took his oath on a copy of the Qur’an.

Congresswoman Michele Bachman was vilified and almost tarred and feathered by Democrats when she voiced her concern about Muslims taking over our government.

Considering all these appointments, it would explain why Obama and his minions are systematically destroying our nation, supporting radical Muslim groups worldwide, opening our southern border, and turning a blind eye to the genocide being perpetrated on Christians all over Africa and the Middle East .

The more damage Obama does, the more arrogant he’s become!

Our nation and our government has been infiltrated by people who want to destroy us. It can only get worse!

Back in October 2011 one of the most astute lawmen in Washington ---- Congressman Louis Gohmert (Repub-TX), a former judge -----questioned then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano about Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Obama admin's Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Mohamed Elibiary was given a high level security clearance and had allegedly illegally accessed from his home computer, a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database.....(Elibiary is now out--ousted for other shady activities).

Napolitano managed to unglue her lips from Obama's behind---and told Cong Gohmert she knew nothing about it, and that she would "personally" do the investigation. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

=========================================================

Among the 5 MILLION hires Obama gave top security clearance to:

Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development;

Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council;

Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference;

Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC);

Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA);

Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

==================================================

Estimates range from several thousand to approximately eight million Islamic fighters inside the United States as we type. The exact number is unknown. Several thousand could create havoc if a coordinated attack was to occur. Eight Million .... anybody’s guess. Just 19 Islamic fighters killed almost three thousand people on 911. One has to believe the worst case scenario----that nearly eight million are already here.

========================================================

Cong Michelle Bachman says the FBI told her Americans who joined ISIS are allowed back in the US.

DHS' JEH JOHNSON AND SECY OF STATE JOHN KERRY SIGN OFF ON OBAMA'S ORDER
will welcome into the US, immigrants with 'limited' terror contact
The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

Why must the US be the only country to take “refugees.” Why is it that no Muslim/Arab country ever opens it’s doors to fellow Muslims/Arabs?
