We are headed for some bad times here in America.. we will be nuked , and our electric grid attacked which will bring us to our knees.. we have opened borders , ISIS claims they will come in as refugees and God knows who will get a nuclear weapon over here or a dirty bomb and kill many and destroy the land..

it is accelerating and the stupidity of our president and his supporters are blind to the dangers that will definitely come to our shores.

Ummm, no.

People like you need to spend a little time in the Middle East so you can learn firsthand why that's a really bad idea.

Here's the numbers he plans to import per the media:

U.S. to take at least 10,000 more Syrian refugees - CNNPolitics.com

John Kerry: US to accept 85,000 refugees in 2016, 100,000 in 2017 | MSNBC

There are mixed reports as to whether the 85K and 100K refugees will be strictly Syrian or from many countries. The second article says multiple countries.

We have high unemployment........why would we bring in non speaking English people to take low end jobs or are they taking high end jobs? Do you have a link to prove your claim?

One has to ask why are these people not staying in their own country, why are they coming here? Why is Assad allowed to send his people away and not take care of them. Why do other countries feel we an over amount of jobs and wide open checkbooks from taxpayers?

A link to prove what? That most immigrants are law abiding? That we've been taking in refugees for years? Because nothing I said requires proof.

So a significant amount of people have no right to complain when they're relatives came here illegally and gave the Natives the boot.
Having just returned from a trip to Montreal this past weekend, I was amazed on how large the Muslim/Arab community was there, especially in Saint Laurent and Laval. Tons of women wearing head scarves, and people not even batting an eye. But what was more interesting was how well they seemed integrated into their society, speaking fluent French, sending their kids to the public schools, working in all types of professions. Even went to a giant supermarket chain, Adonis, and came to learn it was founded by Lebanese immigrant brothers in the late 70s.

Please stop listening to Alex Jones or whatever nutball conspiracy theorists and then coming here to spread their baloney.

Thanks.

You should be more concerned with the problems we already have instead of some desperate refugees. I am more worried about MS13 and many of the other South/Central American gangs that are already here
