WASHINGTON Two years into a civil war that shows no signs of ending, the Obama administration is considering resettling refugees who have fled Syria, part of an international effort that could bring thousands of Syrians to American cities and towns.

WAKE UP AMERICANS!
DING, DING!
will the recognize the problem?
no. someone just got thrown off their favorite TV show.
Are you effin kidding me?...WTF is wrong with these politicians.
Why not ? We have an estimated 11 million illegal Mexicans half of whom believe most of the southwest US is part of Mexico and are just making themselves right at home kicking out the “Gringos” and the negritos (except they don’t call them that) wherever they become the majority.
Eurasia here we come!
Let them go live in Saudi Arabia.
That's easy: not enough LIVs.
We have enough problems already with the Somalian Islamo-welfare bums who are here. Thank you George H.W. Bush.
Are they Muslim?
If so, not only no, but F***@#***@#**ing NOOOOOO!
If it says , U.S. considers taking in (up to 1.6M) Syrian refugees
It’s already happening under The Obama Mob
Can’t we destroy ourselves fast enough without them?
It’s “impossible” to deport ~20 million illegal aliens already here, but A-OK to import 1.5 million Syrian refugees?
Just what we need.
They will probably be on a short list for citizenship.
Enough is enough, if they want to bring in 1.5 million
syrians, then 3 million illegals will have to GO!
Or shia, or any other form of mohammedan.
You can bet that if it looked like they were going
to vote Republican, they wouldn’t be wanting to bring
them in.
Oh, dat's all I need!
“...mohammedan...”
That’s quaint.
Let’s go even further back: how about “musselman?”
We'll take them .... if they're Christian....
it never ends lately.
