Why should they work? (They would have to pay income taxes, pay for insurance etc.)
They'll suck on the Govt t*t for as long as long as they can. Medicaid, Section 8 housing, SS or Welfare payments, etc. (At probably 25K per year per kid & 15K per adult - that would be 60-80K per family)...that you and I are paying for.
All the while communicating with their buddies in the Middle East & abiding by Sharia law. There is ZERO upside to these refugees being admitted here and it's costing us tens of millions of dollars to bring them here. (& we're 20 Trillion dollars in Debt !!)
The economic stupidity of Progressives who are facilitating this clusterf**k, the Media who report the "feel good" aspect of it.... and a significant percentage of our elected leaders (who LOVE spending other peoples money)....is downright breathtaking.

Let's see...
1) All refugees are not from the Middle East..not even a majority of them are.
2) All refugees are not Islamic...not even a majority of them are.
3) While there are resettlement funds made available, they run out quickly--Most refugees work..it is a requirement of their being here.
There are successes and there are failures. Personally, I'd vet them..make them wait two years or more..screen them for health issues...and...oh wait--that's what we do!
Anyway..back to the topic..which is how the Republican-led Govt. is increasing the number of refugees settled here. Not really sure how the 'evil' Progressives get the blame for this one.

Deflect & Deny is an important part of this administration's operating rules.
Contrary to what you would prefer to believe, Pedro, not all of the people coming here from other countries are fruit pickers.......many are educated, professionals, and have skills this country needs. A lot of them will create jobs and will also be consumers, who buy our products.
It isn't like you would like to imagine, where they all come in here and suck up our welfare and jobs that others might have. Anytime you look at something through a narrow lens you miss the big picture.
What a crock. Refugees from the Middle East and Africa aren't coming here as educated professionals. The "Big Picture" is that they won't assimilate, they'll cost us millions (that we don't have) as parasites, and one out of a thousand of their young men (or one out of five thousand....or whatever) who will be communicating with their woman subjugating, gay killing, head chopping buddies back home....& might possibly provide the media with lots of story lines, such as:
- Wield a sword and slice up students at Ohio State.
- Bomb a gay night club in Orlando killing dozens?
- Bomb a concert filled with 12-14 year old little girls.
- Bomb the finish line of the second most famous Marathon in the world.
- How about Drive some Trucks down some crowded pedestrian only streets?
- Open fire on co-workers celebrating a holiday party.
- Knock down TWO skyscrapers killing 3,000 people.
- Fly a plane into the Pentagon.
What's next? Bomb Disneyland? Or the Mall of America on Christmas Eve? Or a busy airport on the Sunday after Thanksgiving? How about a Daycare....or a Children's Hospital ?
Yes....let's discuss this "Big Picture" benefits of letting un-vetted Muslim Refugees from the Middle East & Africa into our country. Oh....& we get to pay for the privilege of transforming into a Cu*k Country.
A country that's 20 Trillion dollars in debt is gong to pay for the privilege of bringing non-assimilating Vermin into the country.....Genius.

Let's see...What is the purpose of starting a post with "Let's see"?
1) All refugees are not from the Middle East..not even a majority of them are.
2) All refugees are not Islamic...not even a majority of them are.
3) While there are resettlement funds made available, they run out quickly--Most refugees work..it is a requirement of their being here.
There are successes and there are failures. Personally, I'd vet them..make them wait two years or more..screen them for health issues...and...oh wait--that's what we do! - Huh....how are they "vetted" if we don't even have a freaking embassy in the country? & are you saying that every refugee that has entered the country (or will enter our country) has been thoroughly vetted, has waited two years, & has been screened for health issues?? (if so then I stand corrected)
Anyway..back to the topic..which is how the Republican-led Govt. is increasing the number of refugees settled here. Not really sure how the 'evil' Progressives get the blame for this one.
I'm referring to the refugees who are Muslim and are coming from Banned countries (when the progressive left coast judges overturned the banned countries executive order, & the spigot opened up again).
Questions:
- Where are the non-Muslim refugees coming from?
- If it's a requirement to work (& they don't). What happens?
- Anyway....back on Topic. Why should a country that is 20 Trillion dollars in debt, go into further debt to accept refugees who won't assimilate....and could be a threat to our citizens?

Contrary to what you would prefer to believe, Pedro, not all of the people coming here from other countries are fruit pickers........ some are trained militants and terrorists. And nearly all are indoctrinated with the notion that their religion should be the only religion.
Well..everyone ran to their prepared positions fast on this one...
I don't have a prepared position.
I still want to know what people think about the Republican-dominated Congress..whose funding limits had curtailed refugee entry--'forgetting' to reinstate those limits and thus allow this to happen?
If a Republican congressperson "forgot" to re-instate those limits...we'll remember during the 2018 primary season. This is a pretty black and white issue that was made crystal clear to politicians during the last election.
In the article I posted..everyone read that, right?...It's clear that the State Department is doing this because the funding is available and that they must have the blessing of the Secretary of State--who's their boss. I though the left coast appellate judges overturned the ban?
Surely Trump is aware..as he is the SecStates boss.
As far as I can see...the Democrats have no piece of this.
To me it's not a Dem vs. Rep issue (I've voted for POS Dems and POS Reps in the past 12 years).
Honest Question: How does one stop it given the fact that the judges overturned the ban? If the Sec. of State failed to provide funding that has already been approved, wouldn't there be lawsuits? OR CAN THE SoS pull the plug on the funding (& the program) ?? Thanks.
Trump and Tillerson better stop this. Need details on what the hell is going on.
I agree.
& I'm just as willing to call out a Republican politician as a POS as I am a Democrat politician.
