The United States will meet President Barack Obama’s goal of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the country on Monday, the White House announced.

Obama sought a sixfold increase in the number of Syrian refugees provided safe haven in the United States. After a slow start, the administration was able to hit the goal about a month early and just a few weeks before Obama convenes a summit on refugees during the 71^st session of the United Nations General Assembly. …

yet we have vets that are homeless

[boycott]

That’s just great. We cannot even take care of our own citizens so we’re adding 10,000 that want to blow us up for some evil pagan god.

We don’t even take care of our veterans but yet we’ve got money to put these American haters on welfare.

[Dr. Ursus]

Just stocking the pond!

*Obama* will meet target of 10,000 Syrian refugees - I suspect if the “US” as a whole had a say, that number would be more like zero.

[dware]

At first I misread that headline. It says “target of 10,000 refugees”. I read it as 10,000 refugee targets. My bad.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Just great. 10,000 (or more, expect) illegal votes coming in on Nov 8.

per the orders from George Soros to those in DC as well as the handing over control of the Internet to the UN to stop Internet traffic that apposes the NWO. The people of this country and world are just along for a long hard ride to complete poverty and servitude

[mvonfr]

Was the rapes target reached already?

[exit82]

10,000?

Who knows what the real number is?

[boycott]

We should make obama and our government mad by aggressively trying to lead every one of them to Christ.

I would be willing to support any real Christian mission group that targets the muslim refugees.

[Uncle Miltie]

What could possibly go wrong?

[Blue Jays]

That is what I was thinking, too.
They could bring planeload after planeload and give them work with that crazy Muslim billionaire who owns Chobani Greek Yogurt in trade.

By the way, patriots don't let patriots eat Chobani yogurt.

hey, i thought it took like, forever(18 to 24 months) to approve these people, if they can even be approved.
Where have these people been stored until they’ve been approved ?

[political1]

It took 19 Muslims to take down the World Trade center, and hit the Pentagon. That’s equal to less then 1/5 of One percent of that 10,000. I hope the government has a great vetting process.

[stylin19a]

I suppose I should have read the article...

"The increase in Syrian refugees also comes at a time of heightened national security concerns following extremist attacks in the U.S. and abroad. The Obama administration has said that refugees fleeing war and persecution are the most scrutinized of all immigrants who come into the United States. The process typically takes 12 months to 18 months and includes in-person interviews and a review of biographical and biometric information.

Officers with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services travel to the country where the refugees fled of interview them. Upon completion of security and medical screening, the Homeland Security officer may approve the refugee's application for U.S. resettlement. After approval, arrangements are made to match the refugee with a voluntary agency in the U.S. that specializes in helping them find a new home and employment."

Count yourselves lucky. Our idiotic Canadian government brought in 25,000 in just four months (Nov to Feb) and is going to match that number in 2016.That would be the equivalent of 250,000 entering the US given we have 10% of the US population.

Here is your welcome backpack, complete with detonator, C-4 and ball bearings. Also included hand ax for chopping through the throngs of infidels.

Last but not least, your EBT card.
