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?

The Iranian American PAC must have handed out more stuffed envelopes than we thought.

Say NO to the importation of Muslim armies.

From Daily Mail of Feb

ISIS threatens to send 500,000 migrants to Europe as a 'psychological weapon' in chilling echo of Gaddafi's prophecy that the Mediterranean 'will become a sea of chaos'

Italian press today published claims that ISIS has threatened to release the huge wave of migrants to cause chaos in Europe if they are attacked

And letters from jihadists show plans to hide terrorists among refugees

I don’t think it has anything with escaping fromtheir country. This is just a way to fool stupid liberals into accepting “refugees” who’ve been bullied and mistreated....sniff...snifff...wahhhh

The elieve it hook line and sinker and the Mudlim commanders are laughing because the liberals are naive and stupid...

Looks like moonbats from ELCA but the vice chair is from LCMS.

I want to know who in LCMS is approving this.

Some of those Lutherans must have accidentally picked up their Bibles and read about the people who wanted to build Tower of Babel, liked the idea and result, and decided we needed to emulate it.

I can't think of a better way to turn this country into a tribal hell zone of hate, destruction, murder, and suffering than the road some seem determined to put us on.

“The Lutherans will sponsor these people and provide for all their needs, right?”

No, they’re still taking care of their Somali friends.
