That is according to Breitbart (hat tip: Rosemary). It is a huge number, but I think they will go for even greater numbers since their contractor friends and 14 US Senators are recommending 65,000!
Here is Breitbart:
The State Department is anticipating that the U.S. will admit up to 8,000 Syrian refugees in Fiscal Year 2016.
In written responses to the Senate Judiciary Immigration and the National Interest Subcommittee Republicans obtained by Breitbart News, the State Department reveals that it is expecting the U.S. will accelerate its acceptance of Syrian refugees next year.
“As of July 30, the United States has admitted 1,042 Syrian refugees in FY 2015 and anticipates admitting a total of 1,500-1,800 Syrians this fiscal year. We anticipate admitting 5,000-8,000 Syrian refugees in FY 2016,” the State Department wrote.
The Obama administration’s effort to resettle thousands of Syrian refugees into the U.S. has come under fire as a potential national security risk.
Here is David Miliband, CEO of US resettlement contractor the International Rescue Committee, pushing for 65,000 (mostly Muslim) Syrians to be sent to your towns and cities before Obama leaves office.
