10,000 Syrian Refugees

">3 month vetting process
Now for the math challenged, crunch a few of these numbers. Nowhere is there anywhere close to two years vetting (and that's not even enough when there's absolutlery no records to reference and that's not according to me either).

Washington (CNN)The White House is planning to increase the number of refugees accepted into the United States from around the world to at least 110,000 in 2017, a senior administration official told CNN.
Secretary of State John Kerry briefed Congress on Tuesday about the administration's decision and has stated over the past year that the United States would seek to welcome 100,000 refugees in 2017 -- and if possible, would accept more.

The increase -- from 70,000 during 2013-2015 to 85,000 in 2016 to the plan of 110,000 in 2017 -- is more than a 57% increase in refugee arrivals since 2015 and consistent with the administration's belief that all countries should do more to help vulnerable people...

You do recognize there is a slight difference between the refugees America is admitting, who have been vetted for two years or so while the European ones are not vetted at all. Then again, you probably don't.


Well DUH!. I would venture to guess that over 99% of them are true peaceful refugees, what about that small percentile that comes here(which the IS has stated they will sneak as many "soldiers" into as many countries as they can) who do get in here? Remember the shear difficulty of vetting people who ahve no records? Even if that number is ONLY a 100, what damage can they inflict on this country and the innocent people here?

Damn! They're scary

"Like many new to Indiana, they say they're taken aback by Hoosier Hospitality.

Muhammad has paid it forward by volunteering with other Syrian refugees to make meals for the area's homeless.

Their wish is that federal judges and state leaders will see them as a family, not as a threat."





How did we ever get from the Greatest Generation to a bunch of cowards fearing little kids in two generations?
The 100,000 figure is refugees worldwide, not Syrians but I imagine you are scared of anyone and everyone.

Billy, why don't you volunteer half of your pension to give to them? Most of them are not going to be able to get jobs and the American taxpayers will end up fully supporting them. There are poor people in bad countries all over the world, and I feel for them, but it just isn't feasible for all of them to migrate here. Many European countries flat out have said "no" to them.
I'm with Roulette Man.....how and why, would you transplant people half a world away into a place completely unfamiliar to them? Different language, different religious beliefs, different customs, government and customs. Hell's Bell's, even the climate would be dramatically different. And the tax payers aren't in debt enough yet.
Makes no sense to me.

Once they are naturalized, they vote.

Maybe even earlier if there's no voter ID provision in the Law.

Today's update is the cost of the refugees medical care! And Obamanation adding the number they want brought in. Where does all the $$$ come from?

We can always borrow it from China. They've got plenty of $ from our $500 Billion a year trade deficit with them.

The FSE is an excellent refuge from the Vegas heat.

I disagree. I think the canopy holds the heat in and then there's all those people.
Pop in a casino for the AC and pop out when a FSE show starts.
