In an announcement made Thursday afternoon, the White House confirmed plans to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States. There is no word yet on what the vetting process will be for refugees or how the White House plans to assure Americans the process will prevent ISIS terrorists from making their way into the United States.
"The United States, at the direction of the United States, has played a leading role in addressing the dire humanitarian crisis in the Middle East and North Africa," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday during the daily briefing. "One thing that the United States can do is to begin to let more Syrian refugees into the United States. This year, this fiscal year that will end this month, the United States is on track to take in about 1500 Syrian refugees. The president has directed his team to scale up that number next year and he's informed his team he would like them to accept, at least make preparations, for 10,000 refugees."
Earlier this week, House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul expressed serious concern about national security and the acceptance of refugees from Syria.
“We’re a compassionate nation and this is a tragic situation but I also have to be concerned as Chairman of Homeland Security about the safety of Americans in this country and the concern that I have and that the FBI testified to is that we don’t really have the proper databases on these individuals to vet them passed and to assure we’re not allowing terrorists to come into this country and until I have that assurance, I cannot support a program that could potentially bring jihadists into the United States,” McCaul said in an interview with Fox News. “We don’t know who these people are and I think that’s the bottom line here and until we know who they are, we cannot responsibly bring them into the United States.”
"Both the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have told me privately that they don't support bringing in Syrian refugees because of the threat they pose to Americans," McCaul continued.
Details about the importation process for refugees have not been released. When they are, we'll be sure to bring them to you.
Headed to Dearbornistan I understand.
1000 terrorist infiltrators (the 10% goal as previously noted) stand a very small chance of getting any particular person killed. Your chances of being killed in an auto accident are MUCH higher.
What a number like that, even a fraction of that, has is the potential to act as the spark that ignites something MUCH larger.
Want to see what happens when a large portion of Americans conclude that terrorists coming from within a certain demographic group pose a direct threat to their lives and the lives of their families?
Think “Missouri during the Civil War” ugly. But probably a lot moreso.
Do the families of the murdered and maimed support this??
They are getting help, but they have to be brought in via those folks in the Middle Eastern Christian community.
Look for gun sales to go through the roof!
You can see why more guns and ammo have been sold.
My late father is break dancing in his grave.
Read an article yesterday that California, New York, and Texas were to be the recipients of refugees.
Gaddafi’s relative said you can expect 50 to 100 terrorists in every 1,000 coming in.
Syrians aren’t welcomed into Saudi because of their Western ways...which the Syrians are mostly Western minded......and the Syrians don’t want to go to Muslim countries because they cannot dress, wear makeup, jeans etc.....so their lifestyle would have to change drastically...
Are the Japanese internment camps available? Would definitely be improvement over life in Syria and I could sleep at night.
...”Why not give refuge to Middle East CHRISTIANS? They are the endangered”...
Because Muslim refugees are converting to Christianty in order not to be deported, they can claim persecution because they are Christians and not loose their Refugee status...and the perks with. Otherwise they are deemed economic migrants which stops the perks.
Syrians will not stay at any camps for long at all...if good living quarters and in some cases cars are not provided they will leave the camps....
They are already well instructed before they leave , by coaches in their refugee country, and traffickers living among them in the camps there....they will tell you what they want and if you don’t provide they have plan a plan b plan etc. to manipulate the public til it acts on their behalf.... all which will play on the publics emotions...because it works.
The mayor of Boston said we should welcome them with open arms.
He’s an idiot.
hmmm. how many are going to Hawaii? I was just wondering what is going on in the non-abort nations of South America and if they were being invaded.
