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.

If the Saudis really did take them in, I would like to see proof. I trust the Saudis even less than the Feds.
If they actually took in refugees, they can take the Muslims, I would consent to the US taking Syrian Christians.
But, let’s face it, the US has supported the Syrian rebels (ISIS and Al Qaeda) against Assad in these ridiculous destabilization efforts. It’s US/NWO foreign policy that is chiefly to blame. Syria has pipelines that US/EU wants and Syria is not an IMF member which is a big no no for the global banksters.

Even after the terrorist attacks in Paris, Obama still wants to bring them to our country.
