Just another part of o's plan to destroy America and let his brother's finish the job he has been working so hard to achieve.
He hates America, he hates whites, he hates police, he hates the military, he hates any religion other than the Muslin religion, he wants America brought to her knees and has been doing a great job of making it happen.
o and any one who supports him should all be sent to Syria to live out their miserable lives...

The Syrian refugees need our help. Even though we have over 600,000 homeless Americans, many of whom are Veterans. I believe that Our country owes it to the Syrian refugees, to ignore the plight of our own. I think those among us who are homeless, should be proud. This winter when temperatures are below freezing. We will be able to provide homes to the refugees. They will be warm and well fed. They will be provided money and a living. We will shelter them from the very elements, our brave and resourceful homeless will face. It is shameful for us to put the needs of our most needy, above the needs of foreign refugees. On the bright side, perhaps another country will offer you refugee status and take you in. I here hear that Canada has a great healthcare system and mild summers.
^^^That.

Has anyone checked on what these people will contribute to our country:

Syrian disease outbreaks 'inevitable', warns WHO | World news | The Guardian

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/02/op...th-crisis.html

Health Information for Travelers to Syria - Traveler view | Travelers' Health | CDC

Bad things happen to our citizens also: http://nationalhomeless.org/wp-conte...2013-FINAL.pdf and https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investi...ajorthefts/cac andModerator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed

We have an average of 44 murders per day in the US.

Until we solve our own problems, we don't need to take on new ones. I was glad to see that our state has said "no" to taking refugees. Our taxes are so high anyway and we have to deal with the health issues brought in by the illegals. Tired of it!

It never changes.....And you can't blame the critics. They were defending the GOP from 2000-2008.

GWB got the same treatment from the other side - lots of negativity......looks like this will be the standard from this point forward......but it isn't new.

Even Abe Lincoln received a heavy dose of criticism during his time and he was one of our all-time great president in history.

I was thinking the same thing regarding Ebola, they actually wanted to put volunteer nurses in bubble rooms for several months after their return. We always need to be perfectly safe, anything less is unacceptable.

There are 22 Republican governors using politics to criticize the President.
Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz have proposed religious tests to determine eligibility for resettlement in the US which is nothing more than pandering to a base.

Christian groups have been making noise in San Diego about 27 Christian Iraqi refugees who have been detained. These so called refugees flew from Europe to Mexico City and attempted to enter the US without documentation, claiming they fled Iraq due to religious persecution. In reality, most have had legal resident status or citizenship in European countries for years. They falsified their applications for refugee status and made much ado about being persecuted Christians, despite having German passports.

Anyone could spend 30 minutes on the Internet and walk away with enough information to claim to be Christian. Heck, reciting the Ten Commandments in the order would likely be more than most non refugee Christians could do, off the top of their head, especially given some Christian denominations have unique versions of the Big Ten. There are tens of thousands of Christian denominations and sects within, with some drastic differences. Which brands are acceptable?

No they didn't and by the way, the Obama admin is the one doing the religious tests since they won't take in Christians in the same numbers. They turn them away while accepting more and more Muslims. THEY are doing the tests.

To be honest Jeb Bush is the last one who should be sounding off on the issue given his pro-illegal stance.

So what's the big deal letting in thousands of refugees and there are several terrorists among them, right? Especially when the US is a major target for ISIS.
Let's not stoop so low as to blame the French tragedy on their government for allowing middle eastern people to live in their country, because we do the same thing and have for a very long time. Here's the immigrant population of the US by country of birth (I only listed countries which tend to have fairly high numbers of terrorists)
Iraq..............200,894
Iran..............363,972
Afghanistan.....67,169
Saudi Arabia....88,894
Syria..............78,934
Yemen............40,548
Pakistan........342,603
That does not include visitors and I'm not sure if it includes foreign born on H1B visas.

So, after the politicians rant and rave about allowing 10,000 Syrian refugees into the US, what are they going to do about the immigrants already here? Have a 'round up' and deport them? Should we stop foreign born visitors from coming to the US and kick out foreign students?

We should do whatever it takes and stop caring about feelings. Who cares. I'm more important than they are and you should feel the same, if you don't I feel sorry for you. This is THEIR problem, not ours.
