(CNSNews.com) The State Department is committed to meeting President Obamas goal of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States this fiscal year, and expects the numbers to increase exponentially over the summer, a spokesman said Tuesday.
With four months left in FY2016, the administration has admitted 3,566 Syrian refugees as of Tuesday or 35.6 percent of the 10,000 target number.
Although a ways off, achieving the 10,000 goal looks a lot more likely now than it did four months ago, when only 841 had arrived.
The State Department set up a special refugee resettlement surge center in Amman, Jordan in February, and officials said processing times had been significantly reduced from approximately 18-24 months to just three months.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Tuesday the department remained committed to Obamas plan.
I think increases in processing capacity have improved our ability to meet the 10,000 target for Syrian refugee admissions, he said, although acknowledging that were not there, were a good ways from it.
But we do expect the arrivals to increase exponentially as we move through the summer, so we are still saying were going to meet that 10,000-person commitment, Toner added.
The resettlement surge has already seen noticeable results: From 114 Syrian refugee admissions in February, the number climbed to 330 in March, to 451 in April, and to a record 1,069 in May (adjusted up from the 1,037 originally reported by the State Department Refugee Processing Center).
And just five working days into June, the number for this month has already reached 761, putting the effort on track to easily exceed Mays record of 1,069.
As CNSNews.com has been reporting for months, the number of Christians among the Syrian refugees allowed to resettle in the U.S. remains miniscule.
Of the 3,566 admitted so far this fiscal year, just 12 (0.33 percent) are Christians, and 3,494 (97.9 percent) are Sunni Muslims.
Of the 761 admitted since the beginning of June, none are Christians. The 761 refugees comprise 759 Sunnis, and two other Muslims.
bammy’s final legacy - bringing in a million of our replacements.
O’s Muslim outreach continues, unopposed and unabated.
Hey O, THAT’s not who WE are.
What does the Department of Prevention have to say about it?
And they will be joined by their relatives once the refugees get settled.
Any Christians from the Middle East that do come in, have to be brought in via an underground-like railroad effort.
Trump for President.
It’s called “the fundamental transformation of America”.
There’s a lot of parallels today with later Roman history.
"...The worst part is that hundreds of these so called refugees are ISIS. We will be attacked from within..."
This invasion was FUNDED by the lying, complicit,
GOP starting with Ryan.
“To think that fellow countrymen knowingly elected this America-hating maniac twice is simply astounding to me.”
And our “fellow countrymen” are gearing up to try and continue to do even worse this election.
What they don’t expect is for allah the mohamicidals to be deported next year!
With that many troops on the ground will he feel that he has to leave office?
He's already done it.
According to DOS and DHS data, we import a quarter million Muslims every year. Hussein will reach the 2 mil. mark (at minimum) by the time he finishes.
The State Departments’ as corrupt and vile as Hillary... maybe more so.
Obama’s final SCREW JOB against America!
and the GOP-e in Congress just sits back and allows, enables this dangerous invasion of enemy fighers into USA
for Godness’ sakes, we need to vote the GOP-E OUT!
