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.

Loretta Lynch , Angela Merkel, and thousands more politicians and administrators are LIBERAL FASCISTS, who wage demographic warfare against their own people.

We need to purge our governments. First we try the ballot box, and then the bullet box as necessary.

ABSOLUTELY

Worst SecState ever..

No!

Clinton was the worst SOS ever, and it will take decades to find out how she has $crewed Americans and the innocents around the world.

We cannot allow her and her traitor husband to become co-presidents again.

They should all be re-located to Nantucket.

The Syrians will be welcomed by DC, but not by us.
They will all vote democrat early and often.
We will be forced to pay for their care and feeding.
There will be a percentage that are terrorists.
The Feds will not prosecute any of them.

The Dems are conducting a low impact war on the American people while the Muslims are using them as useful idiots.

And they still believe that their new masters won’t turn on them.

Could non-citizen voters (Somalis?) swing close races? Yes, says WaPo

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/could-non-citizen-voters-somalis-swing-close-races-yes-says-wapo/
Posted by Ann Corcoran on October 25, 2014
On Thursday we reported that some of Obama’s illegal alien “Dreamers” are voting.
And, I should mention that I’ve been asked several time recently if I thought illegal aliens or more importantly legal immigrants, like refugees, are voting before they have even gained citizenship and I’ve said: Of course they are! They simply check ‘yes’ to the citizenship question when they get a drivers license and they are good to go because no one ever cross-checks.
This Washington Post story (can we believe our eyes that this is in the WaPo?) confirms what we have only surmised (hat tip: Paul). You can read the whole thing yourself but the section that interested me most was the one on the Minnesota Al Franken victory which we reported on extensively in 2008 (here is one of several posts we wrote at the time) may well have been decided with the help of Somali illegal voters.
From the Washington Post (although they don’t use the ‘S’ word!):
Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections. Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) won election in 2008 with a victory margin of 312 votes. Votes cast by just 0.65 percent of Minnesota non-citizens could account for this margin.
Yup!

"Did Muslim Vote In Virginia Swing Senate Control"

'The Detroit Free Press reports Muslims played a critical role in the November midterm elections.

Imam Mahdy Bray, Speaking at a Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America convention in Dearborn, highlighted the effective effort to turn out Muslim voters in Virginia.

The effort was so organized that Muslim taxi drivers in northern Virginia took the day off to ferry Muslims to the polls, said Imam Mahdy Bray, a speaker at the convention. Volunteers also made phone calls to Muslims in Virginia to urge them to vote, he said.

As a result, Democrat James Webb ousted incumbent Republican George Allen by about 9,000 votes in a race in which 50,000 Muslims went to the polls -- 47,000 of them voting for Webb, Bray said.
[March 2007]

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

If 96 percent of Muslims are going to vote Democratic, that would make them a more reliable Democratic constituency than African Americans. Democrats consistently receive about 80 percent of African American votes.
