Exclusive: U.S. Will Now Let in Thousands of Syrian Refugees

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.

Doesn’t it still amaze you how DUMB people still are??

Bush started the HUGE Invasion of both Mexicans and Muslims, yet he still gets no “credit”.

[laplata]

Right. He wasn’t even thanked for being a “compassionate conservative”.

[USS Johnston]

Heh-heh....jes' a good-ol'-boy...choppin' wood and kissing Muzzie azz and inviting 50 million illegal Mexicans into the country.

Now THAT'S "compassionate treasonism."

[VerySadAmerican]

Open the door just a little crack, then watch the flood of people come rushing in. And, of course, they’re muslim. Again, I ask, where do they work?

[I want the USA back]

No surprise here. This administration is doing all it can to destroy this country.
2000 bearded savages.

[SevenofNine]

“The USA is going to hxll in a hand basket because of so-called wealthy elites and limousine NYC liberals who not only own the lib Party, but have it by the bxlls, as well as their politicians.”

---

Not true. We are going to hell in a hand-basket because most Americans have been asleep at the wheel (when it comes to the goings on in this nation). Too many distractions, diversions, detours, from the true meaning of things, hence giving the usurpers the exact tools they need to succeed in what they are doing.

It seems that our founding principles have been washed away through our neglect to govern those governing over us.

[greeneyes]

Un freakin’ believable. ROP transplants will soon outnumber Americans at this rate. Brain Dead Stupid Government or out and out traitors that’s what they are!

[greeneyes]

Good point.

[RitchieAprile]

well, we could use more syrian/middle eastern takeout joints around here.

[VerySadAmerican]

Again I ask, does he have the authority to decide who gets to come here and who doesn’t? Did Bush?

[mowowie]

Gee, I just cannot wait to reward them with my tax money!
Woohoo!

[KTM rider]

I live in a small town in Oregon and when I go to the supermarket about 40% of the people are Islamics speeking some kind of arab lingo , another 20% are mexicans speeking spanish

Our government is the real enemy, the war on terror should be happening in washington DC, not Afghanistan or Syria

[servantboy777]

How many of these muzzies are America haters? How many would love to do us harm?

Oh wait, that’s the Judean People’s Front. Wrong group of crossdressing Useful Idiots.

Never mind.

[I want the USA back]

One is too much. NO bearded subhuman savages should be allowed in this country.

[MinorityRepublican]

Christians, secular Alawites, Kurds and other minorities, I would let them in.

[Madam Theophilus]

Most of these will probably be Syrian Christians who are being severely persecuted by both sides in this Islamic conflict.
