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.

Since we’ve opened the flood gates why not let the Yemen folks in too?
Flophouse USA...
Divide the once united...
This is what it’s all about.
If they let in the Christians only, they won’t have to worry about terrorists ties.
It is OK because all of the new Syrian immigrants are being settled in Boston.
Great poetic comparison (I pulled lotsa weeds yesterday), and so true.
He then takes pains to spread a thick layer of compost wherever he goes.

It’s the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF’s way to overrun U.S. citizens with Muslim Terrorists and “Collapse the System”

While they are killing and beheading Christians! Go figure. Read the WH press release if you haven’t seen it already....it will make your head explode!
Once they are in, they can sponsor thousands more.
Point well taken.
Creeping crises across Rhodesia and the region were not dealt with very objectively in our media...
For 2 decades or better now.
But, it’s cool to have a light-hearted, democratic “Arab Spring” and when it turns south we must welcome the recently disenfranchised, though they showed no particular affinity to us beforehand.
Under the dictators, the Christian remnants had a better chance, but those I would suspect are not at the top of the list to emigrate here. Hope I’m wrong...
And a select few will honor our Patriot founders and our Christian faith proudly.
That is our fate. That is what we must, and will do.
Isn’t Resko Syrian. How many more in Chicago and Detroit just waiting for them like Custard waited for reinforcements!
Refugees = terrorists
Excellent memory dear! I believe you are right and also on to a few things with your nexus of influence on this man. He sure has friends in low places. Real low places.
Another step to harm this counry.
Outrageous.
He has to be one of them.
Sure looks like he is and that the whole leadership in DC has been ‘captured’ by the MB!
Congress was opened by a Muslim Iman today or very recently....
