US will welcome target of 10,000 Syria refugees, says Kerry
Yahoo News ^ | 7/13/16 | AFP

Washington (AFP) - The United States will welcome 10,000 Syrian refugees this fiscal year as promised by President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry announced Tuesday.

Washington has been criticized by some activists for moving too slowly to settle those fleeing the conflict, while Obama's opponents warn their number may include terrorists.

But Kerry said the United States is now on course to admit 10,000 vulnerable refugees, chosen from UN camps and vetted by US security and intelligence agencies.

"It's also representing six-fold increase over what we did the year before," Kerry said, referring to the US fiscal year, which runs from October 1 to September 30.

"I'm proud to say that the United States is by far the largest contributor of emergency aid, but we all recognize that still more needs to be done," he said.

Kerry made the remarks at a dinner in Washington to mark last week's Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, shortly before he was due to set off on a tour of European capitals.

Hardly any of them are Syrians.

Most don’t have any documents, and most docs from Syria are forged. ISIS makes forged docs showing people are “Syrian”. I wonder how many of these terrorists coming in are males and how many females.

It’s a type of jihad called Hijra - invasion by masses of people.

This is not exclusively a Democrat problem. I have emailed and telephoned my establishment Republicrat congressional representatives numerous times about this subject as well as the increased cases of TB and other diseases that these “refugee’s” are bringing with them - The silence has been deafening!

I ran across one of them around a year ago with a shopping cart full of baby formula and a stack of vouchers.. She was African, and not Syrian. This was Overland Park, KS.

Let's house them next to Kerry's 'Estate'.

Most of us would be happy to have our taxes raised so Kerry and his so-called 'elite' friends can do the work of assimilation.

ISIS has forged more Syrian passports than there are real ones basically. The “refugees” are from all over MEAN - Middles East/ North Africa - and beyond. Afgans, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indoneians, you name it.

They’re like an invading army.. rules must be followed so states bend over backwards to accommodate their culture while destroying ours with a slow fuse.

Chuck Todd was lamenting that the race is so close. He thought that if Biden or Kerry were the nominee instead of Hillary, the Democrats would be beating Trump 70-30. If true it would show what a large part of the electorate is made up of low information voters. It is scary to think that Kerry came so close to winning in 2004—another 150,000 fraudulent ballots in Ohio and he would have won in the electoral college.

Here is the situation on the link for the 'Physician' article. I located this article about 9 months ago. I put the article in my files along with the url. Earlier this morning, I posted it along with the other articles in my #57.
As usual, after posting a lengthy post like this one -with many different articles and their appropriate links underneath each title, I check each link just to make sure the link works properly. All of the links in #57 checked out fine. But when I clicked on the link to the 'Physician' article, --- it took me to a site where I have to join and sign in now.
Normally, no big deal, I'd go through the hassle of signing up, but this morning I had to hurry to go to another dr. appointment so I just did not have the time to go through the sign up cr*p.

In other words, I'll post that link to the "Physician' article here (below) and those who wish to sign up with whatever site it is that has he license to display this 'Physician' article, that's great. Thanks for your interest and yes, tell others about this 'Physician' article (and all the other important articles in #57)

I really believe that the only ones that can pull this out of the fire are the heroic patriots , the experienced combat war fighters , not the desk jockeys and JAGs , in our military and certain of those within federal law enforcement that have NOT yet become corrupted by the insidious influences that are rife within Washington at this time. The corruption is incredible , it’s in our face and it’s shameless . It’s time for those that can affect things to act. Our country and our future as a nation of genuine laws and order is at stake .

” True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary , at one period , to that which it does at another , and the motive which impels them – the desire to do right – is precisely the same . The circumstances which govern their actions change ; and their conduct must conform to the new order of things “

Even though the following is already posted in #57, I believe it is imperative -to ask everyone to read this again, so as to make sure you and all lurkers -understand completely- and see the direct correlation between Obama and Valerie Jarrett's conniving mindset and Merkel's mindset...in regards to HIDING what they are doing with these muslims being flown here. And enacting criminal penalities for anyone (here in the US) - -to speak out i.e. instructing Lynch to prosecute anti-muslim speech.

<><><>
<><><>

(.....the following was posted in the Comment section by a reader who read about the plight of this physician. His comment -is a reflection of the mindset of our liberal media -and worse, a reflection of Obama's mindset in regards to being so secretive about his Islamic Muslim refugee plans [ie. Loretta Lynch article at bottom]

COMMENT by TheShucklePoland
I live on the Polish side of the German border, and I hear a lot of what goes on over there. I can confirm that there is a lot of evident press censorship, and speaking out against Merkel and refugees is a sentence to prison. Police are not allowed to do anything to refugees. I know a German couple who recently moved to Szczecin after a refugee started bothering them for a handout in extremely broken German and English, then just stole the girl's necklace and ran. Police said that they couldn't find any evidence of it. Germany usually has an incredibly efficient law enforcement system. It's obvious that they're being made cover up any crimes involving refugees, except for a few "isolated incidents", like where a man cut a girl's throat and was only admitted to mental care.

Thanks for post 72
It is very sobering to see what is happening with the refugees and add to it the chaos plan (BLM) with Loretta Lynch directing it according to the direct messages with activists. Lynch should be impeached.

See this post - images showing direct messages (twitter) of BLM activists

I wonder if they’re going to make us stand at the airport holding a “Welcome Refugees!” signs like we saw in Germany?

I just now read another post by a poster here who states that- -all these new arrivals (muslims)- even if they only got here in the past year - - WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!

I ask everyone - - if they know whether or not this is true?
Will all these newly arrived blood thirsty muslims - get to vote in November? Even if they only arrived here in the past few months. Because we all know they will all vote democrat/ for hillary.

And all the muslims arriving over the next 106 days - - - are they also going to get to vote in the General Election?

And if the Obama / Jarrett / Hillary scheme is to allow all these newly arrived muslims (and muslims about to arrive)- -- - to vote - -- - How Can This Be Stopped?

Be compassionate, Kerry. You have a big home. Why don’t you let some stay with you? Maybe move some into your neighborhood.
