Almost 15,000 Burmese Muslims
brought to US in last ten years, Posted by Ann Corcoran on November 22, 2015
Yesterday, Obama
was in Malaysia promising that our doors were open to
Burmese Muslims known as the Rohingya.
Here are some numbers
for you. I went back ten fiscal years. The vast majority of the
refugees we take from Burma (aka Myanmar) are Christians. See data
base here (you will have to choose your
parameters). I ran data for FY2006 to FY2015.
In 2013
Buddhist monks protested efforts by the Oranization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) to get a foothold in Burma. “No Sharia Law” said monks not at all
concerned with political correctness.
We took 149,020
total ‘refugees’ from Burma, presumably because they were being persecuted by
the majority Buddhist nation. The largest number we’ve taken in are
Christians of various sorts, but we did take over 22,000 Buddhists (I thought
the Buddhist nation was throwing out their minorities so this doesn’t make
sense to me).
What I really wanted to know was how many
Burmese Muslims/Rohingya we have been admitting. By the way,
when Trump and other candidates mention their worries about Syrian Muslims they
need to be educated on the FACT that hundreds of thousands of other Muslims are
being admitted as refugees—such as the Somalis and the Iraqis (now both over
100,000 each).
In the last ten fiscal years we have admitted
14,695 Burmese Muslims to the US.
Here is the
year-by-year breakdown: FY ’06: 33, FY
’07: 2,034, FY’08: 2,816, FY’09: 1,273,
FY’10: 910, FY’11: 771, FY’12: 759,
FY’13: 1,064, FY’14: 1,209, FY’15: 3,809 (looks like they have
kicked into high gear) And so far in
FY’16 we have admitted 17.

Muslim ethnic group. See especially here
in 2013 when we reported that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops was lobbying
the US State Dept. to admit more Rohingya.

Obama has made the US a dumping ground for 3rd
world refugees from everywhere. He is
intent on turning the US into an immigrant majority 3rd world
country.
