Obama Directs United States To Accept 10,000 Syrians In 2016

[rockin'robin]

WASHINGTON, D.C.– The United States is preparing for an influx of 10,000 additional Syrian refugees in 2016, according to the White House.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed to reporters during the daily press briefing that Obama had directed the U.S. government to prepare for a total of 10,000 additional refugees from Syria in 2016.

“The fact is, these are human beings that are in a terrible, desperate, vulnerable situation,” Earnest said. “That’s why the president has directed his national security team to continue to play a leading role in our response to this situation.”

According to Earnest, that would bring the total of 100,000 political refugees that would be welcome to the United States in 2016. He admitted, however, that they would need additional funds from Congress to make it happen.

Earnest confirmed that the refugees would be vetted before they were allowed to stay in the United States.

He described the refugee situation as a “terribly difficult challenge” but that they were hopeful that more countries in Europe would also raise their levels of refugees.

Alright

 

[MEGATRONICATRON]

Alright

With all due respect "hoichi", what kind of response is 'alright?'.

I just don't understand people sometimes with their one worded responses. One would expect a detailed, thorough and hearted response/message/comment or just maybe, that is my persona!

Thank you for this news. It's good to read about things like this and to know what Obama is up too, heh!

um... you do realize that USA has been accepting hundreds of thousands refugees for a long time? you do realize that quite a handful of them do contribute quite greatly to society and even the world - much more than you and I combined? one of your doctors is probably is one of them.

Its interesting. That rich arab countires...closer....havnt done squat and dont even want them...

I dont want to come across cold hearted but why is this the wests plm?
We have plms of our own..and they are flooding into europe, while loaded arab nations ie saudia arabia which has more loot to shake a stick at, doesnt even accept them...

Im not convinced its all random..it seems almost organized the flooding at europe and the riots ive seen on rai (italian station) which has good coveregae of what the floods look like in europe...fights at the border....police in hungry overwhlemed.......and now to the states...as well as canada..will be accepting them....but why not other muslem nations Closer? Turkey? Or sudia arabia? Or jordan?or morroco, or egypt, ect.... Or other muslem nations across the world...indonesia? Mali? Ect....ect....if this is the wests plm, then surely an argument can be made its other muslem nations plm also.

And look at the riots? The total disregard for the very nation they wish to enter...hungry....mecadonia....greece....to what end it has to be asked? If they are attacking police en mass there on the border what will occure when they are already in the nation?


I also understand why those fleeing a nghtmare would rather not go to saudia arabia or where ever...and instead aim for a nation in the west...that makes sense..
It just seems more orchestrated then anything....

Jiro, Im looking for the article, but long story short.
Its terrorists acting as refuges coming to america. NOW the fun begins....
Its like a computer virus, destroying from within.... think about it. America better wake up soon.

Yep and a bunch of them coming to St. Louis...

 

[DeafDucky]

So... because there are terrorists from Syria... the average Joe/Jane hard working innocent people of Syria who ARE refugees gets punished and lumped in with them.

Nice.

Blame the terrorists for causing the refugee problem.

 

[authentic]

^^^ I seconded. Why would we take care of Syrian refugees which caused by terrorists and Putin base in Syria? Their intentions are successful. Not acceptable.

 

[soutthpaw]

The Muslim world needs to step up and take care of their own.

Um what don't you understand about the term vetted?!?! That means that they will be SCREENED so that the crazies won't get let in. The refugees are the moderates who are actually FLEEING the crazies. If they were indeed jihadists, they would be FIGHTING in the civil war, not coming here.

Actually did you know that the threat from domestic Muslim terrorism is VERY low? Almost all the radical Muslim terrorism is overseas in places like the Middle East and in Africa. Homegrown terrorism is very rare. What's a more REAL direct (meaning you face a personal threat from it) threat is the extreme right wing militias and the Christian Identity hate groups, and organizations like Operation Rescue and the Ku Klux Klan.

What you don't understand is A: we will get those rejected by other middle east and European countries. B: people lie in vetting process. C: they come here expecting a better life, jobs, financial support etc. When that doesn't happen, they get disgruntled and disillusioned and some will turn against the very countries that give them asylum (esp those who come here as children and teens). So they may not be Jihadists yet but likely that some will become such later.

If you don't want refugees so why are you started war in Iraq and Afghanistan at first place.

Don't invade their countries if you don't want to deal with refugees - it is already too late now.

Amen. I was and still am against the war and consider George W a war criminal. Idiot and his advisors destabilized the entire region by removing Saddam. They ignored all history and understanding of the tribal, religious and social constructs of the middle east...
