State Dept. Expects Syrian Refugees to U.S. to ‘Increase Exponentially’ This Summer
CNS News ^ | June 8, 2016 | Patrick Goodenough

(CNSNews.com) – The State Department is committed to meeting President Obama’s 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 Obama’s 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 “we’re not there, we’re 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 we’re 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 May’s 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.

0dunga NEVER talks about building a safe zone in Syria, for refugees to live safely. That would go against his plan to help EXPAND THE CALIPHATE TO WESTERN COUNTRIES! So he lets ISIS flourish so as to push more Muslims into the EU and U.S.

0dunga probably has an agreement with ISIS that they not wage their mass attack in the U.S. until AFTER he leaves office, in exchange for bringing them in by the millions.

Just as with the illegals 0dunga welcomes into our country, he also hopes this ISIS Trojan Horse uses lots of guns to kill innocent Americans so the Democrats can justify their gun confiscation agenda. It also gives the NWO/U.N. cabal Democrat party the excuse they need to GROW THE POLICE STATE.

No matter how you cut it 0dunga is pure evil, plain and simple. Hillary is a continuance of that evil, undermining America on all fronts.

People thought he was kidding when he said he was going to fundamentally change America .

Congress has sat by and done nothing to stop him because to many of the are being bribed by the Saudis .

I expect that many of these refugees have been made citizens before they should have been in order for them to vote in the next election . He has been bringing plane loads of muslims into the country each week since he was first elected . MILLIONS of them.

What is really chilling is President 0bama just sits in the Oval Office, his feet rudely up on the desk, and thinks nothing of innocent Americans who will be maimed and killed.

Just like the so-called "refugees" who committed the Boston Marathon atrocity or the San Bernardino killings...it is "just another day in the life" for him. Far away from the cameras, he likely smiles with glee when those kinds of attacks are announced. What a vile monster our country elected to office.

Why are they fleeing Jordan? Aren’t they safe there?

You are correct...Congress does just continue to sleep away.
I swear, do our legislators *not* have family and friends they wish to see live happy and peaceful lives?
This relentless obsession with willingly bringing homicidal terrorist into our country is something I will never grasp.

Bammy AND Bush. After 9/11, Bush increased Saudi student visas 16 fold. He brought in about 800k. Obama has brought in about 700K so far and Ryan just gave him funds for another 300k.

So we are closing in on 2 million of these people who are hostile to everything America was. This is nothing less than the murder of America.

Over 250 years, we brought in about 420k slaves from Africa. That has become about 40 million people of African descent today. By the same pattern in a hundred and 50 years, we could have close to 200 million moslems. And they will be drowned in a sea of central and south americans and Mexicans.

In short, the bastards in DC have already destroyed our nation as we knew it.

Writing to congresscritters is seemingly useless.
They only seem to understand the notion of being voted out of office.
You could have told him "his mother is an ignorant sl^t." and his response would have predictably been:

"Gee, sorry I couldn't get it past Congress. Can I try again in 2017?"
