Whether they are in the U.S. legally or not, more than 8,000 Syrian refugees in the country were just granted asylum by the federal government.
The Department of Homeland Security granted temporary protected status to the Syrian citizens, despite fears of ISIS terrorists slipping in through the program, Fox News reported.
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said the “humanitarian crisis” the refugees face in their homeland has made it impossible for them to return.
Though the program, which was created in 1990, is supposed to grant the protected status to refugees temporarily, critics have argued there is nothing temporary about it. No one has ever been required to leave due to an expiring status.
The amnesty will provide the immigrants with a work permit, Social Security number, drivers license and welfare eligibility. Typically, the status is granted to a select group of refugees who are affected by a specific event, like an earthquake.
“This is kind of a rolling amnesty,” reported Fox News’ William La Jeunesse. “This designation, however, not only grandfathers in all Syrians who have been arriving before 2012 but all who’ve arrived since then” and does not expire until 2018.
Critics slam the program for its inability to properly vet incoming refugees and protect against possible terrorist threats. Those who are enrolled in the program also get a “free pass” to citizenship, critics argue, by marrying a citizen or green card holder.
At present, there are 300,000 immigrants living in the U.S. from 12 countries who have been granted protected status, some as far back as the 1990s, according to Fox News.
Pravada is still around, but I don’t know about TASS; sorry.
I know, I know....it is beyond unreal! :-(
Instant votes,too. Criminals all.
But good news out of Kansas and Missouri tonight :)
Came just in time. We all needed some cheering up!
Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. If you are 47 I hope you’ve not planned on receiving any money from Social Security. It isn’t going to be there in 15 years.
I am actually glad I left the US to work in Hong Kong when I was in my 20’s. I only paid into the SS system as a part time employee when I was young. I don’t think I meet the minimum requirement to qualify for the program
No, that have to to through 8 different screening checks and be fully vetted.
Oh yeah, and it takes 18 months.
</S>
“(Social Security) It isn’t going to be there in 15 years.”

Mind if I ask how you come up with the 15 years?
I keep hearing anywhere from 10-20 years from various sources, but it seems to me we’re lucky if it doesn’t disappear in two years, the way things are going.
No they won’t. The turn in public opinion that is backfiring on the globalists will end this. And the Gov elites will have nothing to say.... But, ohh crap.... They will then run screaming for cover as the millennial’s attempt to kill them. Good job at destroying their mental barriers to senseless violence....
This is the worst thought out plan in the world, brought to you by George Soros. Who will watch it’s failure on his death bed.
In the name of Heaven and Earth I declare and Pray in the name of Yud-vay-ya-hay, by the holy spirit and the name of Yeshua
I am not planning SS....For myself I could care less, but for my parents and others who paid for 40 years plus, they should get theirs. I just feel that way. My generation knew we were screwed and saved and saved like crazy for retirement. Heck I will probably be richer in retirement then I am now. lol.
How many were vetted?
The key here is that we will never know how many times Hillary kicked out screaming kids because the MSM will never report it. The MSM only reports on these non-issues to smear republicans. Hillary has probably had her goon squad remove scores of people for less of a disturbance. It just never gets reported by the Media Wing of the DNC.
Social Security payments are taxable income. Cutting the benefit reduces the taxable income. Better to quietly inflate the economy and pay out cheaper dollars, as they are doing.
PHOOEY!!!!
