Pennsylvania Governor will still take refugees (Pottsville, Shamokin: 2015, house, neighborhood)

[NotWonderWoman]

What is he stupid?

Gov. Tom Wolf says his administration will continue working with the federal government to resettle Syrian refugees in Pennsylvania following the Paris terrorist attacks.

Wolf, a Democrat, said Monday that the federal government believes it can handle an additional 10,000 refugees that the White House said in September that it would accept from Syria.

I loved this line from the Fox 43 report:

Pennsylvania will continue working with the Federal Government to ensure that all individuals have gone through the proper screening process.

Well, we can't risk offending anyone, so....

This after it was confirmed that one of the terrorists behind the attack in Paris was a migrant who applied for refugee status in Greece. As Stewie would say, 'Brilliant!'

How many are being settled in his neighborhood?

Pure stupidity, there is no way they can adequately screen these people.

Exactly. Just hot air to soothe the anxiety of the masses.

"These people" are like so many refugees and immigrants that have come to this country to escape war and brutality in their homeland. They aren't leaving because they want to, they are leaving because they no longer feel safe in their homeland. The screening process seems to be rigorous. Here's what the U.S. process for vetting Syrian refugees actually looks like

Yes, they are blaming some of the Paris massacre on a couple of rogue refugees, but those single horrid individuals are not at all reflective of the whole group. Looking over this article, it sounds as if most of the attackers were French citizens, not Syrian refugees: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/wo...tack.html?_r=0

All told, at least four French citizens were among the seven attackers.

I hope that the majority of Pennsylvanians see the refugees as they truly are and don't mistake some rhetoric as facts.

Yes.

But don't worry, they will end up in the old coal towns. Hazelton, Shamokin, Pottsville, Shenandoah. I feel sorry for the Americans who live there and can't get out.

So we are going to ask them a few questions and then know if they are terrorist or just simple folk fleeing the shattered homeland? In our recent school shootings the parents/immediate family could not predict that the son was planning the massacre. Here is a good link to Muslim extremist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim...ards_terrorism. If you notice; there is a large percentage of the population that is sympathetic to random acts of violence. Taking that into consideration and how few turned France upside-down; large numbers of immigrants would definitely be a bad idea.

Our government is great at large numbers. Lets look at each case on an individual basis.

And those French citizens could likely have entered USA for 90 days with no checking other than the no-fly list and a paid for return ticket: Visa Waiver Program

The "refugee" in the US has the most extensive vetting of any entrant.
