The United States has "a long tradition of welcoming refugees," and it expects to welcome thousands more of them from Syria in 2015 and 2016, despite concerns about foreign fighters, the State Department said.
"The United States has admitted 524 Syrians since 2011. We’re likely to admit 1,000 to 2,000 Syrian refugees for permanent resettlement in Fiscal Year 2015 and a somewhat higher number, though still in the low thousands, in Fiscal Year 2016," spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday.

From ABC:
....counterterrorism officials say they worry a potential terrorist could be hiding among refugees who are looking to come to the United States after escaping the brutal war in Syria.
“It’s clearly a population of concern,” the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Nicholas Rasmussen, told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.
He’s brought/is bringing Syrian muslims here by the 10s of 1000s. What percentage are battle-hardened?
Is this an invasion force? His national security force that’s well armed—he never said they’d be from here.
“still in the ..Low Thousands....”
oh my!
Good thing we bought those tens of millions of guns and hundreds of billions of rounds just since 2008, huh?
more religion of peace, yippee, or should I say allahu akbar.
You know these are not the Christians who had to flee for their lives...
Zero thinks the Statue of Liberty says, “Give me your tired, hour poor, your huddled ISIS...”
I’m getting tired of this commie president and his total disregard for America and the safety of the American citizens.
200 coming to Concord NH “to start” - what could go wrong?
Muslim refugees should go only to other Muslim countries.
Period.
End of story.
Thank the Lord he didn’t let in any Christians! Boy, I’d be really worried then. /s
I also told him that there will be people watching these people when they are slipped into Pennsylvania surreptitiously, because if the gov't isn't willing to protect the citizens then the American Patriots are.
No surprise. Obama is on a mission to rip the USA into pieces.
Why does Obama get to decide how many immigrants from ANY country come in? Isn’t there oversight over governmental agencies?
Where is Congress on this? Democrats should be held responsible for all this mess.
When any zombie can vote, what do you expect?
The Republicans in Congress have a choice. They can impeach Traitorobama or they can join Traitorobama. There is no middle or compromise path for treason.
What in the h*ll is going on here? I feel like I’m living in an alternate (and very bad) universe.
And anything they do, i.e. killing will just be them acting out because they hate America.
Heck, my family was jacked around so much while trying to get my now 76 year old aunt over here that she gave up. The aunt who was sponsoring her passed away and they told my mom that she would have to start the process over.
Yet here we are with ISIS being forced down our throats. I swear I need my own private island away from this mess.
I keep telling people that the goal is to start a civil war .. thereby setting up the takeover of the country by declaring martial law.
I was concerned that it would happen over all the deaths in the Great Lakes area .. mysterious “drowning’s” of young white males. NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. Nobody seems the least bit concerned about who did the MURDERS or WHY ..??
I think the police know and they’re just not talking; because of the fear that it will start a war.
