State Department says it will reach 10,000
Syrians goal by the end of September, Posted by Ann Corcoran on June 8, 2016
CNS News reporter Patrick Goodenough is staying on top of the
numbers coming out of the US State Department and has the latest count today.
Thanks to reader ‘heymister24’ for letting us know about the
up-to-the-minute numbers.
(CNSNews.com) –
The State Department is committed to meeting President Obama’s goal of
admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States this fiscal year, and
expects the numbers to “increase exponentially” over the summer, a spokesman
said Tuesday.
With four
months left in FY2016, the administration has admitted 3,566 Syrian refugees as
of Tuesday – or 35.6 percent of the 10,000 target number.
Read it
all and see their
very informative graph which tells us that in the first 7 days of June:
Of the 761 admitted since
the beginning of June, none are Christians. The 761 refugees comprise 759
Sunnis, and two other Muslims.
Remember
readers that September 30th is not the end of it. All of those new resettlement
sites we have been writing about (Reno, NV, Missoula, MT, Rutland, VT etc.),
will get their Syrians next year. Obama has one more shot at
‘determining’ who comes to the US and how many (for FY2017) just as he is
leaving office and he has already said the numbers will be much greater than
this year.
Could a newly elected President in November,
put a halt to the flow in January—YES! But, you can be sure Hillary won’t!
