The United States has admitted 12,500 refugees from war- ravaged Syria over the past year, surpassing President Obama’s target, and expects to admit even more next year, a State Department official said Tuesday.
The Syrians are among 85,000 refugees from all over the world who have been resettled in the fiscal year that ends late this week, said Ann Richard, the assistant secretary of state for population, refugees and migration. That is up from 70,000 in the previous year. The White House aims to admit 110,000 refugees over the next 12 months.

Bombings, shootings, and knife attacks have surpassed expectations as well.
Looks like a seeding chart. And where they dump them is going to be the places where you see terrorism attacks occur the most often.

Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional District Has Taken In Zero Syrian Refugees

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been a vocal backer of President Obama’s (ultimately successful) plan to import a minimum of 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the fiscal year, at one point accusing Republicans of “slamming the door on mothers and children.” But with just days remaining in the 2016 Fiscal Year, Pelosi’s own district has yet to resettle a single Syrian refugee.

Since Oct. 1, 2015, more than 12,000 Syrian refugees have been placed in the U.S., according to data from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center.
San Francisco, California, which includes Pelosi’s district (CA-12), has taken in zero refugees since the fiscal year began. San Francisco also didn’t take in any Syrian Refugees in either 2014 or 2013.
While Pelosi’s district hasn’t actually taken in any Syrian refugees, Pelosi herself has been a vocal proponent of bringing Syrian refugees into the U.S.
After the November 2015 Paris attacks, Republicans introduced a bill that would have mandated stricter scrutiny for refugees coming from Syria. Pelosi spoke out against the bill, accusing Republicans of “slamming the door on mothers and children,” arguing instead for stricter gun control measures.
“It is outrageous that we would be slamming the door on mothers and children while we still allow people on the terrorist watch list to walk in the door of a gun store and buy a gun,” Pelosi said at the time.

She went on to say, “As it is a proud American tradition, we can both ensure the security of our country and welcome desperate women and children and seniors facing ISIS’s brutality.”
It is not yet clear when (or if) Pelosi’s district will receive its first Syrian refugee.
When Trump wins their 110,000 goes to ZERO.
At least it better....
Hey, Merkel wants all she can get.....send them there.
“While Pelosi’s district hasn’t actually taken in any Syrian refugees, Pelosi herself has been a vocal proponent of bringing Syrian refugees into the U.S.”
This makes it sound like municipalities have a say in whether they get refugees or not.
That's a good question, I hope so.
Americans have passively
watched the future unvetted murderers
and rapists come on buses
by the THOUSANDS protected
by police (who themselves are ALREADY
targeted by the White Mosque).
She doesn’t want them killing her homosexuals.
Can’t have an Orlando style night club slaughter in her district or she won’t be reelected .
She wants them in other peoples backyards.

We exceeded goal! Do we get a bonus, or a bone-us?
Democrats want a wedge issue... this issue damages Americans AND it damages peaceful Muslims who have lived here for decades.
Democrats also use Hispanics the same way -— they use illegals to damage Hispanics who have lived here for decades because they need the resentment to gin up anger and votes.
We are dealing with people - White Liberal Elites - who verge on being evil... be on guard...
Anyone who embraces an immigration policy that is intended to cause problems for the rooted citizenry, is way way beyond simple evil.
You either put America and the Americans first, or you have no business playing with matches (via public policy) in Government offices.
Trump understands the duties of Federal Office holders. The vermin you describe either do not understand, or flagrantly disregard those duties.
YOU Ohioan understand what's happening...
