The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017.

Aides to Kerry say that many, though not all, of the additional refugees would be Syrian.

The migrants would be referred by the United Nations, screened by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and resettled around America.

Kerry made the announcement Sunday during a visit to Berlin after meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier to discuss the mass migration of Syrians fleeing their civil war.

I suggest we restrict the number to how many he can haul over on his personal yacht, each of those years.

And how many will China, Russia, Vietnam, Maylasia, India, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Kenya (the Sacred Kenya, Land of the Sacred Family), Angola, Argentina and Brazil take?

Send every damn one of them to Missus Heinz’s house and let Johnny pay for them.

Well, that should put several thousand jihadists on our streets. Well done, John. Why the long face? You think this is a good idea, like you did when you filed all of your bogus after action reports? Or the lies about your camo beret? Or when the memory of Nixon ordering you SEARED into your memory? You piece of shit.

Consonant with Obama’s long-established foreign policy, current members of ISIS and al-Qaeda are, of course, being placed at the front of the line.

“All Texans, contact our Governor.”

Americans should understand that a governor of a particular state could stop this for a his/her state, if they so chose.
