Trump: Obama sending refugees to Republican states
Politico ^ | 11/17/2015 | Eliza Collins

Posted on 11/17/2015 12:04:17 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

The Obama administration is deliberately sending Syrian refugees to states led by Republican governors, Donald Trump alleged Tuesday. Trump, who was speaking to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, said of the refugees, "They send them to the Republicans, not to the Democrats, you know because they know the problem … why would we want to bother the Democrats?"

Trump's comments come a day after more than two dozen governors, mainly Republicans, vowed to resist federal efforts to settle refugees in their states. President Barack Obama has said the U.S. will accept 10,000 refugees over the next year. Trump often cites a far higher figure — 250,000 — that has no basis in fact. On Tuesday morning, Trump tweeted, "Refugees from Syria are now pouring into our great country. Who knows who they are - some could be ISIS. Is our president insane?"

Go Trump!! Everything is calculated and is on schedule to change the USA forever. By the end of next year, we will not even recognize this Country anymore. I fear it is too late now.

Governors must meet plane/train/buses/trucks with the state National Guard to deny disembarking!

Many years ago I fought the school system to allow my homeschooled daughter from Russia to attend ESL classes.
Got some big resources behind me, even got an official apology.

Then they gave in.
But they won anyway. They put her in a class 40 minutes drive from home for only ten minutes of the hour long class.

When they force Michigan to take refugees I suggest we put them in the most isolated, freezing cold spot on the upper peninsula with snow averages over many feet and the nearest mosque is a day long drive.

I’ll have to put my thinking hat on, but the refugee number of 250,000 was put out there a while back in connection to how many refugees Obama might bring in. Trump didn’t pull that number out of a Make America Great Again hat. I saw that number too; I just can’t remember where. It will come to me in the middle of the night, or when ensconced on the throne where I do much of my best thinking, lol.

Thanks. Not questioning his numbers, just pointing out that hacks like Politico haven’t seemed as concerned about sourcing Obie’s claims as they are Republican’s.

My Democrat Governor and our local Democrat Mayor are actually asking Obama for MORE refugees.

Here’s a (probably liberal) site discussing Hannity putting out the number:

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/oct/26/sean-hannity/250000-syrian-refugees-us-fact-check-trump-hannity/

{Hannity said his figure was based on a Sept. 20 Associated Press report. The AP report said that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the United States would accept up to 85,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2016 and up to 100,000 in Fiscal Year 2017. In Fiscal Year 2015, the United States accepted nearly 70,000 refugees.

Add those three numbers together and you get 255,000 refugees, Hannity said.

That math is right, but none of it makes Hannity’s claim accurate.}

There's an interest article at the Schnitzel Report blog titled Germany: How Did the Pro-Asylum, Pro-Immigration, Pro-Refugee Idea Occur

There's a list that explains the FUBAR, but the one that caught my eye is one folks here have mentioned before. It seems that the Leftists use the tactics worldwide (underlines mine):

"8. Some belief in transformation. There are some intellectual types in Germany who think this will be a transformation moment. More eventual votes for non-conservative parties and the new residents will all side eventually to liberal parties (SPD, Linke Party, Green Party, etc). The fact that most of the refugees desperately want to establish themselves in urban areas.....will affect major city politics in places like Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Koln, Hamburg, Berlin, etc."

Just change the names to American cities.
