It is all over the news, so we don’t need to say much, except (ho hum!) here we go again!
From NBC News:
The new wave of violence in western Iraq has created a “toxic brew” of hardship that has ballooned the country’s crippling refugee crisis by more than 50 percent in just a few days, international aid groups said Thursday.
Just this week, an estimated half-million people have fled the city of Mosul, which was overrun by suspected militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also called ISIL or ISIS, international aid workers told NBC News. Most, about 300,000, are pitching up in Erbil province in the north, according to the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, with the rest flowing elsewhere inside Mosul’s Nineveh province.
Readers, at this moment, Iraqis make up the largest segment of the refugee flow to America (and most are not Christians!). We are taking about 20,000 a year. So far this fiscal year (2014) we have taken 11,660. With millions on the move and apparently more to come, and as Muslims continue their squabbles, what do we think we are accomplishing by continuing the flow of needy Muslims into your cities and towns?
Readers, this is our 618th post about Iraqi refugees—-getting pretty sick of them!
