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.

A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families.

The State Department is "ready to consider the idea," an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure...

"Americans have a long tradition of welcoming refugees," said Daryl Grisgraber, a Washington-based Middle East specialist at Refugees International, which provides advocacy and services for refugees. "They'll respond here, too."

Someone predicted a year os so ago that Obama was scheming to flood the US with Arab Spring refugees including tons of radical muslim terrorists

Looks like he may have known what he was talking about

Obama is importing his standing army with no love of America.

He has the weapons, ammo, equipment and the backing of congress.

I didn’t mean to imply there was...

I just thought there was a brand of mayonnaise with a name like that.

My mistake.

Yeah, it’s always surprising to find someone else who’s with it on this forum, isn’t it?

Like finding an MST3K fan who understands 1/3 of the jokes...

I have Syrian neighbors (Maronite Christians for the most part). The stories they relate from this war are truly horrifying.


That is why the last thing we need to do is to import all of the atrocity committing murderous psychopaths and terrorists who find themselves on the losing side of the war into this country.

All we are doing is importing the radical Muslim Al Qaeda terrorists and mercenary fighters here so they can continue Jihad in this country.

Let Assad deal with them.

If there is, I'm unaware of it ... could be a regional brand. That which is commonplace in "State X" could be completely unheard of two states over.

Import muslims and other dregs

Export jobs and wealth

STOOPUD! Downright STOOPUD! If you, and I can look at the mess importing those anus orifices has made of the UK, and Sweden, as well France, Belgium, and other such Socialist enclaves then this government such as it is of Obama’s (NOT ours, but Obama’s version) knows too exactly what’s in store if we bring them here.

NO!!! I AM WRONG. NOT STUPID. They want to destroy this country, and this is actually a brilliant way to do it, because so many bleeding heart Liberal idiots will feel so damned good about the outreach NOT thinking of the consequences.

“U.S. considers taking in (up to 1.6M) Syrian refugees”

This is a brilliant plan - we’ll show bloody Syria and Lebanon a thing or two about diversity!

Besides which, the whole world will LOVE the US of A again!

“Win win”, to coin a phrase.
