Religious groups want U.S. to accept 100,000 Syrian refugees

Religious groups in the United States have urged the White House to step up its response to the Syrian refugee crisis, with one on Tuesday calling Washington's efforts so far "disappointing."Church World Service, a global humanitarian organization that represents 37 Christian denominations, has called on the government to take in 100,000 Syrians over the next year, said Jen Smyers, who works on the group's immigration and refugee program.The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and the Jewish refugee assistance agency HIAS along with secular groups have also backed that figure.

I’d like to see a groundswell of public opposition to admitting muslim refugees. A million armed-men march on DC would be good start.

What is wrong with these religious people?!

It certainly is not about compassion, it's always about "follow the money"; these "religious groups" are well compensated for relocating these "refugees" into a community near you and me.

Traitors all!

They are leftists first, Christians second, if that. Jesus’ Great Commission to is was ro save souls, not save the world. He Himself will bring the Millenium, not sinful degenerate man.

I was taught we are to love our enemies. I would love them a helluva lot more if they stayed in Fubarstan. Here? Not so much.

They are plundering small towns in Europe, breaking into homes, and stealing whatever they can carry.

Absolutely not. Not while their “houses” are in the continental United States. Now, if they want to establish mission points in, say, China? You bet. House them there.

Many of these ‘religious groups’ are paid to relocate ‘immigrants’.... It’s a job - not a calling.

Hey I’m not for taking any of them. Period but if we do we can take Christians and vett them first. Or we can take Jews (Mr. GG2 is Jewish) its just that I don’t think there are any.

Every archdiocese in the country can divide up that 100K and support them 100%. No cost to the taxpayer. See everyone can come up with ideas for others to pay for.

All these lib charities actually get paid to take care of these so called refuges so the more the better.

If we let ANY at all in there has to be regulations and a small test, like this: hang a big Ham up with a big cross right nest to it. They have to hug the ham and kiss the cross before they can enter. The ones that wont do this get sent to one of the Muslim countries, where they can be with their own cave man kind.
