The ‘Invasion of Europe’ continues today….
If one judges by the photos, it sure looks like young men are the problem in the flood of supposed refugees from the Middle East swarming into Europe. A picture is worth a thousand words. A lot of pictures like those here at the Daily Mail are worth much more!
What sort of men are these? Instead of running to Mama Merkel for comfort, why aren’t they fighting to save their own countries?
I thought of this post—some Syrians are opportunists—when I saw these photos.
Disgusting in Budapest earlier today:

Richest refugee contractor says 8,000 Syrians not enough, wants 65,000 admitted to US
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) headed by a Brit—David Miliband the former British Foreign Secretary—restates its demand that Obama admit 65,000 mostly Muslim Syrians to the US ASAP.
He also praises Germany, Iceland and Sweden for opening their nations to the hundreds of thousands of migrants swarming into Europe!
Click here to learn more about David Miliband, brother to “Red Ed” Miliband. See our post here about Miliband’s initial call back in April for 65,000!
This is all timed to pressure the Obama Administration (probably won’t take much!) just as Obama is preparing to send his ‘Determination Letter’ to Congress!
From the IRC yesterday (not a mention of the word “Christian” in here):
02 Sep 2015 –
IRC president David Miliband: IRC renews call on US Government to resettle 65,000 Syrian Refugees before end of 2016
* In almost five years of war only 1,541 Syrian refugees have been resettled to the United States.
* Over 4 million Syrian refugees are living in limbo in neighboring countries
IRC has assisted 270 of 1,541 Syrian refugees resettled to US, and is prepared to assist a lot more.
New York, September 2, 2015 —The International Rescue Committee (IRC), which so far has resettled 270 Syrians to the United States, said today that the country’s commitment to accept between 5,000 and 8,000 Syrian refugees before the end of 2016 can only be a first step. According to the IRC, the figure doesn’t come close to addressing the crisis in and around Syria, which is now engulfing Europe where Germany, for example, expects the number of refugees and asylum seekers to this year reach 800,000.
Last year UNHCR, the UN refugee resettlement agency, called on the international community to resettle 130,000 Syrian refugees before the end of 2016. Today the IRC reiterates its call on the US government, long recognized as a leader in humanitarian response, to resettle half of that number – 65,000 – before the end of 2016, a call that was endorsed by fourteen members of the U.S. Senate in May. [See the 14 member Senate Jihad Caucus here.—ed]
[….]
“The IRC renews its call to the US government to lead and resettle 65,000 Syrian refugees before the end of 2016.
“The IRC is heartened by the glimpses of humanitarianism which are pushing through. Ordinary citizens in countries like Iceland, Germany and Sweden who are taking it upon themselves to welcome refugees into their communities.”
More here.
Help spread the word. This is very serious. Maybe send my 65,000! Syrians Youtube to your friends who might not want to read much. We really need to get a message to Congress NOW!
Go here to see how wealthy the IRC is thanks to the US taxpayer!
97% of Syrian refugees admitted to US in 2015 are Muslims
We have been reporting from time to time the number of Syrian refugees admitted to the US. You know that the resettlement contractors and the Senate Jihad Caucus are looking for the US to resettle 65,000 before Obama leaves office.
Using US State Department figures going back to January 1, 2012 we see that 1,487 Syrians have been admitted as of September 1 (a few days ago) and the vast majority (95%) are Muslims—Sunni Muslims. However, if one only looks at the calendar year 2015, the percentage of Muslims jumps to 97%! That is because the UN is telling us which refugees to take!
By the way there are 40-some Christians in that number and 1 Yazidi (and a few other religions, or no religion).
The 1,487 have been distributed to 36 states.
The top ten states receiving mostly Sunni Muslim Syrians since 1/1/2012 are as follows (as of today):
Texas (173)
California (162)
Michigan (146)
Illinois (120)
Arizona (107)
Florida (92)
Pennsylvania (76)
New Jersey (63)
Massachusetts (58)
Kentucky (55)
I’ll bet that one criteria used to determine where they have been sent is the number of mosques in the state.
Don’t forget that back in February the FBI testified before the House Homeland Security Committee that they could not adequately screen the Syrians for security.
For those readers just joining us today—PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!
Watch for it! This month Obama will be announcing how many Syrians he wants admitted to the US in 2016! I’ll be watching what those Senators running for the Republican nomination for President will say as their states will be getting the bulk of the Syrians. Ted Cruz (TX), Rand Paul (KY), Chris Christie (NJ) and Marco Rubio (FL)—where are you?
Trying to reach the welcoming arms of "Mama Merkel," migrants are buying fake Syrian passports
There is so much ‘Invasion of Europe’ news now that I’ll post just those stories that strike my fancy.
First, I would be remiss in not telling you that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is being called “Mama Merkel” by migrants anxious to get to the good life in Germany, see here. (Psst! Don’t tell Obama, he will be wantin’ some of the lovin’!)
Then this is from ABC News (hat tip: Joanne) yesterday.
What a headache Europe has ahead sorting through the tens of thousands of migrants and trying to figure out who fits the definition of refugee (refugees must prove they are PERSECUTED, but Syrians are automatically assumed to be no matter which side of the conflict they are on!).
A number of migrants arriving in Turkey hoping to reach Europe are purchasing fake Syrian passports in order to claim asylum at the end of their journey, the head of the European border management agency Frontex told French radio today.
“There is a traffic of Syrian passports,” Fabrice Leggeri told Europe 1, “because it’s extremely lucrative for smugglers.”
Syrian citizens are legally entitled to refugee status in any European country because of the civil war in their country.
Those using fake passports, Leggeri said, are mainly from North Africa or the Middle East, migrating for economic reasons. But he admitted that authorities do not have a complete picture of those migrating to Europe.
“We have an idea of nationalities but we don’t have full profiles,” Leggeri said.
Asked by the radio host whether terrorists could be reaching Europe, Leggeri said “it is not impossible but we are extremely vigilant.”

HIAS to host conference call on Syrian refugee crisis and you are invited!
Check it out below!
We reported on the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society’s campaign against “fear and hate” just the day before yesterday, here. Ms. Nezer will join President and CEO Mark Hetfield on the call which I am sure is connected to the Presidential Determination going to Congress this month.
Dear Friend,
I am writing to invite you to join an emergency briefing call about the Syrian refugee crisis on September 10 at 12:00 pm EST with me and Melanie Nezer, HIAS Vice President for Policy and Advocacy.
We are witnessing one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our generation. There are over 60 million refugees and displaced persons throughout the world who have experienced war, violence, and persecution in their home countries. Over 11 million of these individuals are from Syria and have had to flee for their lives, many seeking refuge in surrounding countries. Carrying tales of war and conflict, many hundreds of thousands continue their journey across Europe searching for safety and freedom.
The numbers are staggering and the stories are horrifying. Perhaps you have seen the news articles from this past week: 71 people suffocated to death in a truck in Austria. 117 were found dead in boats off the coast of Libya.
This is a moment for leadership and action. In the face of very urgent need, the response from far too many nations, including our own, has been underwhelming and inadequate.
Guided by our own history and values, HIAS is mobilizing American Jews to action. We invite you to join us for a comprehensive, up-to-the-minute overview of the Syrian refugee crisis, including what the situation actually looks like on the ground, what needs to be done to begin to alleviate the tremendous need, and what you can do to help.
Please RSVP for this call now.
We look forward to talking with you soon.
Mark Hetfield
President & CEO
Maybe someone will ask him if they will be saving the Christians first (of course the Jews are long gone from countries like Syria)? Since 2014, HIAS has been calling for 75,000 Syrians to be resettled in the US over a five year period. But, I am pretty sure they are on the bandwagon for 65,000 before Obama leaves office.
Last we checked 94% of the Syrians resettled so far in the US are Sunni Muslims!
For new readers, HIAS, is one of the nine major federal refugee resettlement contractors bringing third worlders to your towns.
