At Senate hearing, US State Department refuses to
say how many Syrians in next year’s flow, by Ann Corcoran 9/28/16
I’m writing and
listening to the
hearing in the US
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest.
Eventually, when the video is available, you should all take a couple of hours
and watch this. Right now Senator Al Franken is talking and doing the ‘my
grandfather came from Russia and read the poem on the Statue of Liberty (his
ignorance is so profound) act.’
Simon Henshaw
is the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Bureau of Population, Refugees, and
Migration U.S.
Henshaw says
the White House hasn’t told them yet about how many Syrians will be in next
year’s migration stream. One of the
things that continues to amaze me, it shouldn’t, and that is the Left is always
focused on emotions and the facts be damned! But I digress…..
One big piece of news
is that the Obama Administration is refusing to say how many Syrians they want
to see admitted beginning Saturday (the first day of the fiscal year).
Department of
State told Senator Grassley only that it would be more than 12,500. Grassley
quipped (I’m paraphrasing), ‘is that because it’s a hot political item.’
Yes, exactly. They know the
public would go crazy to hear that we were going to bring in 20,000, 30,000 or
more.
The subject of
Hillary’s 65,000 Syrian Muslim (98% are Sunni Muslims) proposal was raised and
Senator Sessions wanted to know, if she becomes President, could she get that
number. Henshaw answered that the President can change the numbers ‘with
consultation with Congress.’ So, that would mean that Donald Trump would have
the same power!
We previously
reported that a resettlement
contractor told an audience in California that 20,000-30,000 is the Syrian target
number.
At this moment
Senator Cruz is doing a really good job of making the point about the high
Syrian Muslim population being admitted to the US in contrast to the tiny
number of Christians.

66% of US
citizens are opposed to Muslim refugee resettlement in the US. Only 7% support
this refugee program.
