Condoleezza Rice: I Get The Security Concerns, But The US Should Accept Refugees

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday (in a room with a governor who said he'd refuse refugees) that she understood the concerns over the security risks, but that the United States needed to accept refugees, as reported by AL.com.

Rice made the remarks at the 38th annual Southeast U.S.-Japan conference, in Birmingham, Alabama, according to the publication.

Among those in attendance was Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) who had released a statement Sunday that said he would not "stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm's way." He was one of 13 governors to release statements to that effect.

Rice acknowledged Bentley at the conference, but said the country needs to be "open and welcoming" to refugees.

"I fundamentally understand that you in a position of authority, like you, governor and others, in addition to having compassion for others, you have to be safety conscious for your people," Rice said, nodding at Bentley. "What the United States has done is to be open to people who are fleeing tyranny, who are fleeing danger, but we have done it in a very careful way that has worked for us."

NO Condi - the refugees should be placed in a ME safe zone - protected by us - and returned to their Syrians cites when ISIS is destroyed.

Both thumbs way up!

are you on LucyT's ping list?

Reason I ask...As you said, there is ANOTHER humanitarian remedy in place to deal with ME refugees (except for Christian ME refugees who DARE NOT go to UN refugee centers---and whom are discouraged by the UN because they cannot protect them)!

BTW: Have you noticed how all of the globalists and their proxy's (and those who want to stay out of the globalists way for the time being because current events threaten to disrupt their globalist agenda) seem to be on their best behavior today.

I had to look up what Rice's current position is. As far as I know, it is as

(Wiki) In September 2010, she became a faculty member of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a director of its Global Center for Business and the Economy.[4]

But she is also a CFR. The phones are burning up today.

There are so many indications, I can hardly keep up.
