Senator Rand Paul cites KY
refugee terrorists/Boston bombers on radio talk show, angers Left, Posted by Ann Corcoran on November 24,

I’m glad to see
2016 Presidential candidate and US Senator Rand Paul annoying the Left as Mediaite
reports here.
See our post yesterday where we
pointed out that a couple of years ago Paul was an outspoken critic of the
program, then had gone underground on the topic. I guess he is back and
his comments about welfare are important.
The
Kentucky Iraqi terrorists were “vetted” refugees, but watch for the NO Borders
crowd to say that the Tsarnaev (Boston Bomber) brothers were not “refugees.”
Before I get to
the news I want to reiterate that those who enter the US either legally or illegally,
request asylum, and then are granted political asylum (become asylees) are just
as much refugees as those we fly in. Our present asylum process is
also a result of the Refugee Act of
1980 and once someone is granted political asylum they are eligible for
all the perks of those we have flown in. They can also seek out the
‘services’ of the nine major federal
resettlement contractors.
This is fro the
Leftwing Migration Policy Institute, but I urge you to see the report on
Refugees and Asylees. This graph shows that in 2013 over 25,000 were granted political
refugee status after getting in here in some other way.They came in without
screening! http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/refugees-and-asylees-united-states
But, as the
issue continues to cause controversy, the Leftwing agitators will continue to
try to cause confusion in the public mind.
The Republican
presidential candidate said the refugee screening process is “absolutely not”
rigorous enough to allow migrants into the United States. “The fact that we
had two Iraqi refugees posing as refugees come into our country and want to
attack us with stinger missiles shows that it wasn’t, and I don’t believe still
is, very rigorous,” he said.
“The Boston bombers came here as refugees,”
Paul noted. “We coddled them, we gave them free stuff, we gave them free
housing, and yet, they decided to attack us, so there’s a great risk.”
Despite
accusations that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev moved to the United States
through the refugee program, the family never applied for refugee status to
gain entry into the country. Instead, their family arrived on a six-month visa
and applied for political asylum once they were in the United States. [You see how the Left spins this, they are
just as much refugees as those we have flown in—ed]
“It’s a mistake
for the Obama administration to downplay the risk,” Paul said, adding he fought
the Obama administration “all week in the Senate and I promise you this
battle’s not over.”
Last week, Paul introduced a bill to put a
moratorium on U.S. visas for refugees; in a speech to congress, the Kentucky
senator argued, “…when the poem beneath the Statue of Liberty says ‘give me
your tired, give me your poor,’ it didn’t say come to our country and we’ll put
you on welfare.”
By the way,
when you hear someone say we only bring in 70,000 (soon to be 85,000) refugees,
please remember that we also grant asylum to approximately 25,000 more each
year, then we admit 50,000 (probably not screened!) in through the absolutely
insane ‘Diversity Visa Lottery.’ Hundreds of thousands are here in the
‘Temporary Protected Status’ category, and thousands more through other smaller
legal programs, not to mention
tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien children.
So, I guess I
am saying don’t focus exclusively on the 10,000 Syrians, there is much more
danger and expense throughout
the system.
