The U.S. State Department has announced it's prepared to spend as much as $10 billion dollars a year to relocate as many as 75,000 Muslims from Syria to America as part of a new Program designed by the United Nations for refugee relief.


The U.S. State Department announced this week that the first major contingent of Syrian refugees, 9,000 of them, have been hand-selected by the United Nations for resettlement into communities across the United States.

The announcement came Tuesday on the State Department’s website.

WND reported in September that Syrians would make up the next big wave of Muslim refugees coming to the U.S., as resettlement agencies were lobbying for the U.S. to accept at least 75,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years.
And here we were worried about them "sneaking in" through our borders.

We all grew up reading how the Roman Empire destroyed itself.

What we are watching, with the socialist Obama, is the rapid destruction of America's greatness.

How many American taxpayers would want 75,000 new refugees from Syria here? But the opinions of Americans don't count.

The State Department feels only a small number of the 75,000 Syrian refugees will be sympathetic with Islamic terrorists so down play the threat of placing them within our communities.

A recent Israeli study shows over 68% of Syrians support terrorists actions against Western interests, which means the Obama Admin considers 51,000 terrorists/terrorist supporters a small number to plant in your neighborhood.

Honestly, johnny, do you think RealTool grew up reading anything at all about the fall of Rome? :lol:

But it certainly didn't fall because they let in too many Arab refugees, you knucklehead.

Labor statistics show that foreign-born workers account for all net gains in U.S. employment in the past seven years, according to a group that advocates low immigration.

The Center for Immigration Studies issued a report Friday that found 1.5 million fewer U.S.-born workers employed in 2014 than prior to the recession in 2007. Foreign-born employment for both legal and illegal immigrants increased by more than 2 million workers during the same time period.

There's nothing banal about the problem.

America's immigration setup, legal and illegal, is spectacularly dumb.

Even Canada and Australia look to the needs of society, but America imports people who were less educated than legal immigrants were a century ago.

That's a recipe for welfare and crime.

Elkin, you are correct to call yourself "dumb" for you certainly are.

12 million illegal immigrants do take jobs which Americans would do for a living wage.

Illegals don't pay any taxes except those baked into gas/rent/food pricing, so they can afford to live on low wages because they get freebies like free medical care, etc.
