The Syrian refugee crisis is the only issue many people in the media are talking about today, and many on social media are crying, "If you don't let the terrorist in, the terrorists win."But does the United States really have a refugee crisis, or has the Obama administration created this controversy?
Over the past 100 years, America has often served as the watchdog for freedom in the world, but is acting as the world's police officer really the right course of action in these troubled times, or are we too unstable ourselves? How can we help others if we can't even save ourselves from comparatively simple problems, such as the nation's debt crisis?
Refugees from Iraq and Syria are storming the Western world, and ISIS has promised it would sneak in terrorists along with refugees traveling to safe-haven nations. Many former leaders in the intelligence community have expressed concerns as to whether or not these people can be properly vetted. The head of the FBI has already admitted before congress that two Iraqi War refugees were arrested for terror-related crimes and that the vetting processes were less thorough than they ideally should have been.
Our government leadership outside the White House has expressed an uneasiness with simply letting these unknown refugees into our country haphazardly. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is trying to enact a controversial piece legislation called the Safe Act in an attempt to ensure that refugees are thoroughly vetted. Over half of the nation's state governors are saying "no" to letting refugees into their states. Proponents of the refugee resettlement program proclaim the 27 state governors have no right to deny refugees entry into their states, but isn't that just an afterthought considering that in a recent Bloomberg poll 53 percent of Americans said that we should halt the Syrian refugee resettlement plan the White House is presently pursuing.
In a poll conducted in November, as many as one-quarter of the Syrian refugees were open to the possibility of being recruited by ISIS. Factoring in this poll, which has been conveniently ignored by the mainstream media, with the number of refugees the Obama administration wants to bring into the country, and you end up with some disturbing possibilities: Obama's plan could bring in as many as 2,500 potential ISIS recruits.
If an estimated 13 percent of these refugees have, at the very least, a negative outlook of the United States, then why are we bringing them here? What motivation could they have for wanting to live here if they view America negatively? If many of these refugees have a positive outlook on ISIS and many of them are military age males, then what is stopping them from picking up arms and fighting for ISIS in their new American homeland?
Many people, including Vice President Joe Biden, has said it is against our long-held American values to turn these people away, as he was leaving a speaking engagement in Texas last week. Many others proclaim that to turn them away is unconstitutional and is in violation of their First Amendment rights. When did it become intolerant to care for the safety of Americans? Isn't that the primary responsibility of the federal government?
True, the liberties listed in the Bill of Rights do apply to all people everywhere, as they are endowed by our creator. However, neither asylum nor citizenship are listed among those rights. True, America often finds itself in the position of being the world's policeman and standing for the persecuted, but this watchdog role cannot and should not be taken at the expense of the safety of the nation's own citizens.
To let anyone into our country without properly vetting them would at this point be totally and utterly irresponsible. Syrians and Iraqis are not the problem; radical Islam is. Although many in the Middle East are trying to re-establish the caliphate as a dominant power in the modern world, they are not a nationality; they are a totalitarian religion. This war on terror is not a war against a country, but it is war on radical ideals that can be adopted by anyone at any time in any place. With that in mind, how could we just let people into our country men, women, or even children whether they be Syrian, Iraqi, or Canadian, without knowing who they are?
When I myself was serving in Iraq as a gunner in a gun-truck tasked with convoy security, there was a period we started seeing children in small villages throwing hand-sized rocks into wells from various distances around the wells during our missions. It was soon after that we found just what exactly these children were doing: We started getting reports of casualties that were caused by children throwing hand grenades into the holes of gunner's turrets of the gun-trucks we were using.
It may not be the politically correct thing to say, but it appears to me that the only true refugee crisis the United States will experience will occur if we take in thousands of refugees without knowing who they are.
A great article. Thanks for posting.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is warning Americans that under House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the planned government funding bill, allows Obama to bring in 10,000 Syrian refugees and place them in American communities. Session said in a statement:
"As currently written, this years appropriations bills will be combined into a catch-allomnibus by December 11th which amounts to a blank check to carry out Obama's refugee resettlement plans. Not only will the President be allowed to bring in the 85,000 refugees he has announced on top of current record immigration levels, but this will include at least 10,000 refugees from Syria......who will subsequently be able to bring in their foreign relatives.
All refugees are eligible for lifetime government benefits and Social Security and Medicare access, and are on a fast-track to becoming voting U.S. citizens. More than 90 percent of recent Middle Eastern refugees are on welfare.
Technically, the bill hasnt yet been releases.....but will likely be released until mere hours before the vote (to bamboozle Americans) but its pretty clear from the public statements of the GOP leadership, that the plan in Congress is to pave the way for Obama.
==================================================
REFERENCE Obama is funneling our tax dollars directly into non-profits (and religious organizations like Catholic Charities) for the purpose of resettling these refugees..... reportedly over $20M (that we know of).
News outlets report that the vengeful Obama is on the warpath and nd is threatening legal action on the 31 states...using federal laws to undermine the states' sovereignty.
NOW PONDER THIS There is the distinct possibility that Mideast countries are bribing Obama....paying Obama to take these actions.
Gov Abbott, and the 31 states refusing Syrian refugees, should subpoena the wire-transfers in and out of Valerie Jarrrett's and Susan Rice's WH offices......to determine the scope and dimension of foreign monies being directed to Obama and to his two Clintonesque buck-raking foundations.
Refugee relocation monies may also be phonied-up....characterized as "donations" to Obama's billion dollar "library fund"---scheduled to be built in Chicago.
========================================
ACTION NOW: Americans demand subpoenas of the wire-transfer records of Valerie Jarrett, Suzan Rice, the two Obama foundations and the Obama library fund.....and other networks Obama might be using to bamboozle Americans.
