Migrant crisis: Can the US take more than 10,000?
BBC News ^ | SEPT. 11, 2015 | Paul Blake

The Obama administration has said it will allow 10,000 Syrian refugees to resettle in the US over the next year. Is this enough? And are there any risks? An estimated 340,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Europe this year, coming from as far as Eritrea, Iraq and Nigeria.

But the largest portion are coming from Syria, and US officials have been at pains to show how much the US is giving in aid.

According to the White House's National Security Council, the US is the single largest donor to the Syrian crisis response, having given over $4bn (£2.6bn) since the crisis began.

But some, such as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon's special representative on migration, have said that throwing money at the problem is not enough - it's about taking people.

Add a zero to that. If Hussein says he wants to bring 10,000 you can bet that a multiple of that number will be the reality of it.

We need to “take” them to their “motherland” — Saudi Arabia! This is a Christian nation. We are not moslems . Moslems killed us at the WTC, Pentagon, Ft. Hood,Iraq and Afghanistan. Get them away from our Christian Nation and protect our CHILDREN from these bastards! If you don’t, expect blood on your hands and take cover under your beds.

NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-......you don’t take in invaders as refugees...one of these days people will realize that these ISIS backed refugees have passed, or gone around many places that they could have stopped in just in order to get to Europe or the U.S......Europe has gone totally berserk and has begun to feel the consequences.....

There is no migrant crisis. There is a muslim invasion.

The refugees seem to be thousands and thousands of able bodied moslem men.......why don’t they go home and retake their own countries that are ruled by idiots????

None to the US. Period.

However, if it would help, I would be willing to fill 1000s of tramp freighters with them, sail them to Bikini Atoll, and make the swim ashore. They can make a nice country there.

As far as I am concerned, there is really only one response to such a thing.

It cannot be spoken of.

Listen, you arrogant turd-world SOB! We don't want the people you don't want, so what do you think you're gonna do about that? Huh? Take pictures of the base of the Statue of Liberty? Now we are also taking our money back because you pissed us off!

Where are the stones in DC?

Well I don’t know, we might need safe havens in parts of the world where we can apply for Asylum.

We don’t want the whole world filled with the Islamic horde.

How about we take less than zero?

Bingo! We have a winner!! Until legal immigrants have time to assimilate we should not accept any new ones. We need a few decades to adsorb what we have -- and I am talking about legal immigrants. Of course the illegals should be removed.

We should be outsourcing all of the islamo-terrorist ‘hospitality business’ to China. After all, they’ve built ghost cities with a few million capacity. Let the Saudi government build mosques in those places, and give the Chinese $500 per migrant per month. Watch the Chinese turn a profit on the deal.
Their military will be more than able to keep the critters under control.

Obama will fly them in and let them sit on the tarmac if he has to, just to stick it to our country.

No. Shouldn't take any more.
Fact of the matter is that the US needs to seriously begun the process of deporting what is already here.
