We sponsored 65,000 Bosnians to St. Louis, why not 65,000 Syrian refugees?
Recently, Secretary of State John Kerry announced that in the coming year the US would sponsor 85,000 refugees, of which 15,000 would be Syrian; and the US will sponsor 100,000 refugees the following year, of which 30,000 will be Syrians. Then in mid-October Senator Dick Durbin of IL expressed his opinion publicly that the US should take a leadership position in Syrian resettlement by agreeing to sponsor 100,000 refugees in a multi-year process. In any case, no official number has been determined and Congress has not, at this point, allocated funds to resettle more than the 70,000 refugees which are part of our current annual commitment.
=======================
Isn't that nice of Dick Turbin? Gee, those numbers don't look anything like what I've been seeing in the news.
Was this the reason for the 2008 mortgage deal? The Government needed houses? How many native born black people tried to buy a house back then and lost it? And now “refugees” live in them.
