With conditions continuing to deteriorate in Syria, the Obama administration is making a major policy shift by agreeing for the first time to allow thousands of new Syrian refugees into the United States, The Cable has learned.
The numbers are relatively small: just 2,000 refugees, compared to an estimated two million people who have fled Syria during the civil war. But it's a significant increase from the 90 or so Syrian refugees who have been permanently admitted to the U.S. in the last two years. And it's not entirely uncontroversial. The refugees, mostly women and children, will be screened for terrorist ties -- a process that could take a year or more to complete.
Unlike previous efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to give temporary protected status to Syrians already in the United States, the State Department effort will bring in Syrians from overseas for permanent resettlement in America.

Holy crap! They’re doing exactly the same thing the leftists did in Europe. Play by play!
Awesome. Do they get to bring their rocket launchers with them?
The refugees, mostly women and children
Hopefully Christian or soon to be Christian once they hear the “word.”
Wonder how many AQ operatives will be coming in with them.
Invade the world
Invite the world
In hock to the world
What could go wrong???/s
"mostly women (named Achmed) and children (with beards)"
Obama is letting in al Qaeda, after giving them
MANPADs to also take in through the open borders.
The US Congress is whoring, drunk, and screwing the public.
This will not end well.
There may be Al Qaeda but I am not sure they have to wait for this to come in. They can just walk across the border
Good news for the 24 hours cable news networks that cover attacks and disasters in America. Lots of ratings being imported in. I don’t know about bringing all of these cowards here who are afraid to fight for their own country though. I doubt if they’d ever stand up and fight for America either.
If anybody deserves asylum, it’s whites in South Africa who are being brutally murdered and driven from their farms.
“Awesome. Do they get to bring their rocket launchers with them?”
No just housewares (pressure cookers, fertilizers and such).
Why walk, when you can fly (probably first class) on the Great Satan's dime?
Once in their radical relatives will follow - more for the Muslim Trojan Horse.
2,000 more perpetually outraged possible terrorists. Way to go Barry.
As long as they let in the Christians fleeing persecution by the “rebels” I’m all for letting in Syrian refugees — the big Arab Christian population in Wichita came here the last time the Sunnis in that part of the world decided to persecute Christians (look up a life of St. Joseph of Damascus). I have a feeling, though, I’ll end up being against the policy when they just let in Sunnis.
Democrat voters!!! Yeah.
The U.S. is so screwed...
