Yeah, turns out the French are smarter than we are too. They helped screw up the Middle East, then handed the football off to us and now they engage in perpetual laughter at our stupidity.

You know...kinda like the Vietnam situation. Another soup sandwich that they handed off to us.

Then they told us not to go into Iraq, or else! We got mad, did it anyway, and 4500 Americans died choking on Freedom Fries.

Turns out that emulating the French ain't such a bad idea.

They had Iraqi refugees/immigrants who lived in Syria after the country post-US invasion(because at that point Syria was actually more stable than Iraq), that doesn't make them Syrian. By the rationale of the OP a Iraqi refugee who moved to the US who then went to Canada would be an American refugee.

I'd tell the writer of the Investors Business Daily article to go back to journalism school, but it's an editorial that doesn't even give the writer a byline.
I am going to tell you to read your own links before you post them...

He was born in Iraq, but has lived in Syria and as the IBD article stated, he was in fact a refugee from Syria. The Obama Administration has been choosing to admit people from Syria and assuring us that they have a strong vetting process, they let him in and more than a dozen others let in have been arrested on terrorism charges.

From YOUR own links:

"The complaint in federal court in Sacramento said Al-Jayab (pictured) came to the United States from Syria as a refugee in October 2012"

"Al-Jayab — a Palestinian by ancestry who was born in Iraq and emigrated from Syria to the U.S. in 2012 — said nothing during his hearing and was led away in an orange jumpsuit."

Yeah, but one nation learns from its history, the other doesn't.

I'll let you guess who the nation is that doesn't.

That would make him a Iraqi refugee of Palestinian ancestry. You can only be a refugee from a nation that you're a citizen of. He's not Syrian, you can't spin it that way. When you immigrate to the USA as a refugee there's very specific quotas for certain refugee groups. The US wasn't admitting Syrian refugees in 2012, the US was taking in Iraqi refugees. If a Syrian person moves to Turkey fleeing the war and lives for five years and then moves to Germany, they're not considered a Turkish refugee, they'd be a Syrian refugee.

Why do you come on here and keep posting factually incorrect information? You don't even read your own links, which clearly prove you wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The US started specifically accepting Syrian refugees in 2012. We accepted this terrorist in 2012 out of Syria and considered him a Syrian refugee based on what he told us at the time and where he was coming out of (Syria).


"Since 2012, the US has accepted 2,174 Syrian refugees......Obama has committed to taking 10,000 Syrian refugees in the coming year, five times the number the US has taken in the past four years."

Yep, they could have just stopped the vetting process and rejected them when they learned their names.

There have been a million refugees admitted, I don't see stopping the program because of this one person. We admit thousands from around the world every year, anyone can change at a moment, this person was here for years.


They need to monitor theses people going back to the ME as was the case here.
