The serially dishonest administration, represented abysmally by Haute Moron Secretary of State, John Kerry, has haughtily announced that for FY 2016, starting October 1, the administration is raising the refugee cap from its previous 70,000 to 85,000, this year, and up to 100,000 next year, all to make room for Syrian refugees. Two weeks ago he told members of Congress the administration wanted to bring in 10,000 Syrians. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley responded with a letter asking Kerry to clarify.
The administration initially proposed raising the cap to 75,000, but Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration, Ann Richard admitted they might add more later. The refugee resettlement industry, which makes about $1 billion/year placing refugees in our communities, is lobbying for 200,000, including 100,000 Syrians. Even Moveon.org has joined the campaign.
Additionally, Obama promised to use other avenues, like parole, asylum and temporary protected status to allow more Syrians. Grassley reminded them that they did not have independent authority to do this. Increasing the cap requires consultation with Congress by law. As it turns out, the law also requires hearings which to this point Congress has never deemed necessary. Perhaps its time for a change.
The FBI has said it cannot vet Syrians for jihadi connections or sympathies because Syria is a failed state. Even Obamas own Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has said that the threat of ISIS infiltrating America by hiding among Syrian refugees is a huge concern. ISIS has very publicly warned it will do just that and claims to have 4,000 fighters in Western Europe already. Even among Syrian refugees, a fifth claim ISIS is a positive influencein the world! Warnings have been issued that 2 in every 100 Syrian refugees is an ISIS fighter. Do the math, of 15,000 that would equate to 300 members of ISIS here in the U.S.
Despite these facts, in an almost surreal display of ignorance, defiance, carelessness, vindictiveness, or perhaps some combination, Secretary Richard has said that the vetting process for Syrians will be streamlined. The Pope, who is rapidly revealing himself to be of the Liberation Theology (i.e. Marxist) persuasion, will almost certainly use his visit this week to shame Congress into taking Syrians.
Do American lives matter at all to these people? That is actually a rhetorical question at this point. The answer is plainly a resounding no. A column at Allen Wests website pointed out yesterday that the administration cant afford to shell out $100 million to provide bullet proof glass for Marine recruiting offices, despite the recent Chattanooga murder of four Marines and a Sailor. Yet the benefits gladly afforded refugees amount to significantly more than that.
Refugees jump to the front of the line for all welfare available to Americans and some we cant even get. Following is a laundry list of promised benefits to arriving refugees:
a furnished home
help with rent
health care
nutritious, affordable food
English language classes
help building job, computer & financial literacy skills
education for their children
social services and community support
legal services toward residency & citizenship
As a result of this preferential treatment, the wait list for public housing in Manchester, NH, for example, has jumped from a few weeks to five years. But not for refugees. They are placed immediately. And as we have seen, the refugee population is increasingly toxic a huge number are Muslims and many are turning to terrorism. The American Somali Muslim population is fertile recruiting ground for ISIS and other terrorist groups. The Chattanooga shooters family originally settled in the U.S. as refugees. And now the administration plans to bring in a group of people guaranteed to seed ISIS operatives among our communities? Mall beheadings and mass shootings anyone? More workplace violence?
This cannot stand.
With its usual stupidity, Congressional leadership has evaded the appropriations process and will attempt to avoid a government shutdown by passing a continuing resolution (CR) prior to the start of the fiscal year. That is 10 days away.
We hereby demand Congress insert a one-line provision in the CR:
No funding shall be provided for bringing Syrians into the U.S. under any program.
I urge you to call the GOP House and Senate Appropriations Committees, their Chairmen and members, House and Senate leadership, and your GOP reps and senators. Unfortunately the Democrats have already boldly signaled their contempt for America. They are a lost cause.
If you live in a state where one of these members resides, be sure to call that member in every single one of his/her offices. Also you can find the contact information for your own reps and senators here:

It should not take longer than a few minutes to blast through these calls.
Will Congress for once stand up for the American people and prevent this malevolent administration from visiting even more misery on us? Or will it wilt under pressure from the organized Left, which now includes the Pope, guaranteeing future mass murder in our midst?
Syrian immigration, under any program, is an immediate, existential threat to America.
American lives matter. Demand Congress act. Make the calls!
(1). Are they really Syrian?
(2) What value do they bring to this nation?
We did our share by letting millions of immigrants into the USA from south of our border. Did Europe take any of them? We should not be asked to take any more.
They're not stupid, just satanic meat puppets.
At some point the American people are going to start taking care of problems themselves. It won’t be racism, it will be proactive self defense. Count on it.
They had better hurry. Over the next 15 months, Obama will be importing millions of enemy invaders and doing everything else possible to permanently bring down the US and open it for domination by Marxists and Islamists.
No funding shall be provided for bringing Syrians into the U.S. under any program.
Sound logical in theory, but if they actually did that, we know exactly what would happen.
ObaMao would veto it, demand a "clean" CR, and the GOP would meekly comply fearing a government shutdown that the lapdog media would blame on them.
How would you like to be a tenant in an apartment house where they will house “these people”? Or are they going to get HOUSES and not apartments? Who wants them in their neighborhoods? This is not going to work!!!! No matter the list of benefits they will receive - not to mention the millions of dollars to the so called “charities” - it will never be enough or good enough for them. We can see that every day on the news - if they are truthful enough to air the pictures and stories that we see online.
There are REAL persecuted Syrian refuges—Syrian Christians!!!!
The rest can stay in Syria and fight it out among themselves. Phooey!!!!
obama/Hillary/Samantha World Power started the mess in Syria in the first place, and kept the war going by arming the “rebels”!!!! Assad is no angel, but he protected Christians and other minorities, and Syrians lived in peace and relative harmony.
This is yet another horrific disaster caused by the vile “human rights” movement!!!!
