Obama Paying to
Relocate 9,000 of His Muslim Buddies Here in the U.S.
The
country is about to receive another “surge” in refugees, but this time, they
won’t come across our southern borders. This time the refugees are Muslims, and
the United Nations is involved. The United States Department of State announced
recently that the first group of 9,000 refugees from Syria have been selected
by the U.N. High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR), and will be resettled into
communities all over the U.S.
WND.com has reported that resettlement agencies have been lobbying the administration to accept at least 75,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years. So far, the U.S. has accepted only 300 refugees, out of more than 3.2 million people displaced by the Syrian civil war. In the past, however, this country has been in the forefront of accepting Muslims from Iraq, Somalia and the Congo. In fact, the United States allows approximately 70,000 refugees into the country annually.

The
State Department statement says the initial 9,000 Syrians are only the tip of
the iceburg:
The
United States accepts the majority of all UNHCR referrals from around the
world. Last year, we reached our goal of resettling nearly 70,000 refugees from
nearly 70 countries. And we plan to lead in resettling Syrians as well. We are
reviewing some 9,000 recent UNHCR referrals from Syria. We are receiving roughly
a thousand new ones each month, and we expect admissions from Syria to surge in
2015 and beyond.
The
actual number of refugees America accepts is not the end of the story, however.
The refugees are placed on a fast track to citizenship, and that allows them to
bring their extended families into the country under the government’s Refuge
Family Reunification program.
Concerns
about the threats posed by Muslim immigrants remain. When an individual is
afforded refugee status by the U.N. for possible resettlement in the United
States, he or she is investigated by the Department of Homeland Security. That
vetting process takes an average of between 18 and 24 months.
Ann
Corcoran of Refugee
Resettlement Watch says the U.S. is being criticized by aid groups
for being slow in taking in refugees from the Syrian War. She has written that
screening has been stepped up since 2009, when two Al-Qaeda members entered the
country posing as Iraqi refugees. Now the government is even more concerned,
alert that ISIS and other Islamic fundamentalists may be trying to enter the
U.S. Thus far, Muslim countries in the Middle East have not offered a permanent
home to Muslim refugees from Syria.
Since
1992, the U.S. has accepted nearly 2 million refugees from Islamic countries. Authority
for the program comes from the Refugee Act of 1980. Aside from the acute
security concerns, the cost of taking in refugees is enormous. Corcoran
estimates the cost of the U.S. refugee resettlement program could exceed $10
billion a year.
