Polls: Most Americans do not want Obama to bring
in Syrians and distribute them around the US, by Ann Corcoran 8/18/16
Donald Trump
must continue to hammer this issue—the American people do not want to pay for, or
worry about their security as the Obama Administration is nearly its goal of
admitting 10,000 Syrian Muslims to the US by September 30th. And, for those of you who think that
will be it, it won’t be as Obama and Hillary are gearing up to make 2017 an
even bigger year for bringing the third world to your town.
Before I give
you this latest poll news, I need to make sure you all understand something
that even I wasn’t fully wrapping my mind around. Although we write
frequently about the 190 or so US resettlement offices (see list here), refugee placement is not restricted
to the town where the contractor’s office is located, but in fact refugees are
distributed in 100 mile radius circles around those offices and thus I will bet
Syrians and other refugees (Somalis, Burmese Rohingya, Iraqis etc.) have been
settled in thousands of American small towns over the years.
I just checked
the US State Department data base (Refugee Processing Center) and see that 184
cities and towns (map: 38 states) have received Syrians in the last 11 months.
Here is the
polling information from the World Tribune:
Americans are
overwhelmingly against accepting a wave of Syrian refugees into the country, a
new poll found. Just 36 percent of U.S. voters support
allowing the refugees to enter, according to a Chicago Council on Global
Affairs poll released on Aug. 15.
The Obama
administration is close to reaching its goal of allowing 10,000 Syrian refugees
into the U.S. by the end of September. Anne Richard, assistant secretary of
state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, said earlier this
month that 8,000 Syrians have already been re-settled.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton has pledged to increase the number of Syrian refugees coming to the
U.S. Hillary Clinton: U.S.
should take 65,000 Syrian refugees The media has been mum
about it, but a wise Trump campaign should find Hillary’s declaration last fall
on Face the Nation and play it over and over again!
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton said Sunday that the United States should accept 65,000 refugees from Syria to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis created by the war there.
Here is my post on what she said. She was
following the lead of the United Nations and the Senate Jihad Caucus (pushed by the
resettlement contractors!) which
called for 65,000 before Obama leaves office. See my June 2015
explanation (below) about where Hillary got the number 65,000! By the way, look
for Obama’s even larger number at the UN pow wow in September. My message is more urgent today than
it was in June 2015!

The Obama administration is close to
reaching its goal of allowing 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. by the end
of September. Anne Richard, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of
Population, Refugees and Migration, said earlier this month that 8,000 Syrians
have already been re-settled. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
has pledged to increase the number of Syrian refugees coming to the U.S.
The poll also found that, in the fight
against Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in Iraq and Syria, 72 percent
of Americans support continued airstrikes in Syria and 57 percent support
sending more special operations forces. Only 42 percent favor sending combat
troops into Syria, while 52 favor enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria, including
bombing Syrian air defenses.
The poll found voters have little
enthusiasm for helping either Syrian leader Bashar Assad or the rebel forces
opposing him. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs conducted its poll of 2,061
adults nationwide via online interviews from June 10-27. It has a 2.2 to 3.5
percent margin of error depending on the survey question.
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump
last year called for a ban on Muslims emigration to the U.S. until those coming
in could be properly vetted. Trump has since modified his position to block
immigrants from countries “compromised” by terrorism.
