Obama Considers Resettling Tens of Thousands Syrian Refugees in the US

Sure most people just see refugees, but Democrats see voters. A number of the refugees will be Christian, but somehow I think Obama isn’t all that interested in Christian refugees.

Taking in Muslim refugees from Muslim civil wars in Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere has largely been a disaster. The original World Trade Center bombing happened in part because the United States was willing to host Egyptian Islamists who would have been arrested in their own country. And who exactly will be taking in now?

If the Muslim Brotherhood Jihadists lose in Syria, their leaders will flee to Europe and America where they will suborn, undermine and plan acts of terror.

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.

The United States usually accepts about half the refugees that the U.N. agency proposes for resettlement. California has historically taken the largest share, but Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia are also popular destinations.

While this is supposed to ease the burden on Jordan, the Jordanians aren’t too enthusiastic about Obama creating a massive immigration magnet that leads through Jordan to America.

The issue here was the culture of Zawahri who Let go in a craze in Santa Monica a few days ago. I have met a few Mideast "Christians" whose basket of culture, habits, foods, religious idiosyncrasies, competing religion, and persecutions are quite different than those of Western society. When I defined "Christino" I was talking about someone who seems to be a Christian In Name Only, who practices a religion thought to be Christian in nature, but does not demonstrate the characteristics of it.

I was not referring to a person who has placed all his/her trust in Christ, if necessary, to death.

I trust that you are not insisting that I support John Zawahri, raised in a Lebanese family affiliating with a Mideast church form, but himself not displaying the evidences of a personal faith

I'm not sure what your point is. Could you explain it?

Actually 2 of the planes took off from Boston. Sorry. Supposedly there was another one that was to take off but it was delayed. Some Osama relatives lived at Constitution Wharf that was built on the site of the old navy base. It is very close to Logan Airport, right on Boston Harbor. I think he had some other relatives in the area also.

"Watcha wanna bet that they go to a red state like Texas?"

Bite your forked tongue!

Dearborn... Detoilet is a statist stronghold, a war zone, and bankrupt - no cultural adjustment necessary.

>>Watcha wanna bet that they go to a red state like Texas?<<

Well that’s all fine and dandy, but it’s only fair to warn them...behave yourselves, Texans have the means and the will to correct bad behavior.

Think before you act.

Just sayin.

We are witnessing what was prophesied by John on the island of Patmos almost 2000 years ago.
This ship ain't turning around.

That title is a little misleading. There are 1.6 million refugees total, but the US is considering taking in thousands.

That’s still too many, but there is no need to start making up numbers, the truth is scary enough.

This is the time for men and women to man/woman up and stand up for their rights, their country against this coup in our White House. So they've been threatened...well so have others before them who faced a tyrant and and had the balls and the courage and the moral fiber to fight....

This is war, folks, and we need patriots, not wimps...we need people like those from the Greatest Generation of WWII, who gave their all for this country. I pray to God that these politicians will see the light, and find the courage within them to do what is right.

[laplata]

The threats seem to be working. I only see castrated wimps.

[Netz]

Let him take them in at the White House where he can look after them.
He can feed them and house them and even slaughter a few sheep (or brothers) with them to celebrate Jihad.

[Wanderer99]

Nope! Just the next Tsarnaev family! Obama needs them to kill the innocents that Americans aren’t willing to kill.

Gotta love Ted Cruz:

Anyone know if President Obama intends to perform background checks on the Syrian rebels before providing them weapons?—
