Lutherans call for 200,000 refugees to be admitted to US in 2016 including 100,000 Syrians

Posted by Ann Corcoran on September 4, 2015

A reader has just alerted us to yet another federal refugee contractor, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), one-upping the other two contractors we have reported on, here and here both demanding that Obama admit 65,000 Syrians in FY2016. We thought those were outrageous demands!

Linda-Hartke-square-headshot-for-blog1-290x300 Linda Hartke, CEO of LIRS, sent out the urgent e-mail to their members. LIRS is approximately 97% funded with your tax dollars! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/how-much-of-your-tax-dollars-are-the-federal-refugee-resettlement-contractors-receiving/ But get this…..

LIRS wants 100,000 Syrians! Either they are completely insane or they know Obama is on the edge and needs a little push! Maybe if they say 100,000, Obama will settle for 65,000!

Here is what our reader says was in his e-mail alert:

“Refugees fleeing Syria need you.

I am asking you to join us with three simple actions that can make a real difference:

Act – In response to this global refugee crisis, the largest since World War II, you can urge the President and Congress to increase the annual refugee admissions goal, or “Presidential Determination” from the 2015 number of 70,000 to 200,000 for 2016 and prioritize receiving 100,000 Syrian refugees in this number.

Click here to send to urge President Obama and Congress to increase the number of refugees resettled this year and to prioritize Syrians.

We’ve been telling you about the importance of the timing on all this right now with the “Presidential Determination” due to be sent to Congress for “consultation” within a couple of weeks. The escalating migrant crisis in Europe isn’t helping either.

This will be a great test for the Republicans running Congress—will they once again rubber stamp what Obama wants?

Give ‘em guns and send them ALL back.

Let them fix their own damn country—we did. (And will again.)

Are they trying to be as self-destructive as Catholic Charities, too? Give the muzzies a little love and they’ll love you back, infidel. Yeah, sure. 1,400 years of history says otherwise. Read it and understand it for what it is. They’ll eventually resort to what they always did; subjugate you, convert you or kill you. Hmmmm, doesn’t seem like any good options to me. Put ‘em in concentration camps for the time being and send them back. No other way or you’re committing suicide, slowly but surely.

Are these “services” getting money from these programs? Follow the money trail.

These are NOT "refugees".
They are able bodied men who unwilling to fight against their Islamic brothers

I suspect odds are they get federal or other public dollars to provide these services, like Catholic Charities does. Hey, a bureaucracy got’s to survive and find ways to preserve their existence, right? Like most useless government agencies do?

Is there any Christian denomination/sect/overall church that doesn’t preach throwing open the borders as a core precept? The Roman Catholic Church sure does!

Include the RINOs in Congress in that death wish.

I assume these are nut-job Lutherans in Minnesota behind this sh!t. If so, I hope a nuke lands downtown St Paul / Minneapolis.

There’s a horizontal line of insanity that extends from Seattle to NY, NY that cannot be explained other than Biblical satanic influence.

While they tell you Social Security is going broke, they give out more SSI to non citizens who never paid into it. I’d like to know how much has gone to the Cubans alone.

Egyptian Billionaire wants to buy refugees their own island to live on.

Only something like this, seems viable maybe.
