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

Posted on 06/08/2016 7:51:23 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

(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.

Christians won’t rise up in jihad when the Head of the Moslem Brotherhood in America calls them to battle.

It isn’t hard to bring in 10000 immigrants. An airplane can hold 200. They can load and unload in no time. 10000 is only 50 flights. So I would be asking how many past 10000 are they going to go. It’s almost an invasion.

Problem is we don’t know how they get here. Does ups bring them at night? Are they smuggled across any of our borders? We don’t know.

Lt Col. Tony Shaffer interviewed by Guest Host Trish Reagan on June 3rd said 10-17% of refugees could have ties to ISIS or radicals AND PEOPLE Will DIE.

This type of warning has never been given that can be recalled.

A separate video of this segment could not be found - this tends to happen with segments they don’t want people to see.

40:46 Minutes - Segment to watch 23 min mark – 29:20

The Kelly File 6/3/16 - Donald Trump supporters Attacked by Protesters FULL Video & Discussion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaBbbFLOTTM

Trace Gallagher goes through the background info about the goal [of 10k refugees] and what lawmakers have done to increase security checks, and includes the clip of Jeh Johnson.

Lt Col. Tony Shaffer: The biggest risk is that there is no data not . It is not like immigrants from Germany, because there is no baseline of data. Europe has had a problem with terrorist attacks. The US gov ‘t should provide defense of citizens.

Guest Host Trish Reagan: What are your sources saying?

Shaffer: 10-17% will be ISIS infiltrators – 470 people ties to ISIS of 4700 total

Guest Host Trish Reagan: Why are we allowing them in?

Shaffer: 1)Political correctness and ignoring the lessons from Europe– 2)Admin committed to undermine our defense
Hillary wants even more refugees clip from Nov 2015 – she wants 65k

Guest Host Trish Reagan: To be open and free – also need to be safe?
Shaffer: She - Hillary is insane – the US gov job is to protect citizens.

We need to find a solution and work with allies to find a place for them in the middle-east because there is no assimilation in a different culture.

We don’t want to have clusters of radicals unassimilated immigrants like in Europe.

It is bad policy that will result in death of Americans. We can prevent it now by understanding the basic facts which exist.

We can do things to help but helping in this manner is not going to be helpful and people will die

Unbelievable how many homegrown haters this country has. And half of them are GOPe. I’m amazed every day how many more craw out from the woodwork. This is not the country I grew up in.

Bring one “refugee” in and 482 of his nearest and dearest relatives will get through his open door. By the time it’s over, the best we can hope for is that we’ll have switched countries. They own America and we’ll own the ME. Worse case is they’ll own both and we’ll be annihilated.

"America will never recover the damage these millions of illegals will do to our economy. The worst part is that hundreds of these so called refugees are ISIS."

---------------------

That's the whole point. Odiablo said he was going to "fundamentally transform the USA" and Americans elected him twice.

CIA & State create the "refugees" in Syria and then bring them here. Convenient, no?

Now the presidential contenders are a complete unknown and a Communist, lesbian, bytch with a serious health issues and whose bedmate is MB, which will be convienient since USGOV is in bed with both.

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?”

YEP AND Jim usually runs unopposed.

He votes right..... but is spineless, like the others. Makes himself available at a zillion town meetings. I’ve been to many of them. standard stock answers. you betcha. argh.

Wish Paul Ryan would get Cantorized.

Besides entering illegally, they can come here legally using a tourist visa or even being sponsored by a family member once the member has a green card, We have chain migration, i.e., family reunification. I can recall one Nigerian who sponsored 84 of his relatives to join him.

It is like establishing a beachhead. Once a small community gets started, their countrymen join them. It is similar to our immigration patterns from the very start of the country. It is the reason why there are so many descendants of Scandinavia in MN. Or Irish in Boston. Or Arabs in MI or Cubans in FL.

America will never recover the damage these millions of illegals will do to our economy. The worst part is that hundreds of these so called refugees are ISIS. We will be attacked from within. King Obama has destroyed any hope of a secure America.

Trump for President.


Trump for President—AMEN!

From the article:

PASS THE WORD----Showing belligerence to US laws and our nation's L/E personnel, means the refugees could be tried under the US' PATRIOT Act....possibly as domestic terrorists.

NDAA 2012 permits indefinite detention of individuals exhibiting belligerence to authorities. (hat tip MARCHONDC90122009)

"Section 802 of the P/A defines a domestic terrorist as one who engages in violent activity in order to affect political change (such as ISIS, and the San Jose gangs).

Domestic terrorists can also be stripped of their citizenship and sent to spend the rest of their lives in in foreign rendition prisons.”

They certainly enabled it when they could and should have voted it DOWN.

The treasonous Ryan and his RNC-GOPe cabal backstabbers won't support Trump; Won't protect us from the hordes of millions of La Raza and Mooselimb Invaders, OR Nail the Hag the the wall.

What option of firewall or sanity remains?
