They have sent a letter to Congress expressing their wish for Syrian and Iraqi refugees to continue to be admitted to America to show ISIS we are good people and love Muslims. Well, they don’t say it that simplistically, but that is essentially what they mean.
As usual the letter is not linked in the story, so will try to find it later because I would like to see who else is on the other team. Update:Here is the letterat Human Rights First (did they gin this up?). Why on earth would General Petraeus allow himself to be listed among this crowd pushing more Muslim migration to America. I guess it’s the same flawed judgement that got him in trouble in the first place.
From the Detroit News:
Washington — Former top national security officials from Republican and Democratic administrations urged Congress on Tuesday to continue allowing the resettlement of Syrian and Iraqi refugees in the United States.
“Refugees are victims, not perpetrators, of terrorism,” the 20 retired military, security experts and others wrote in a letter sent to all lawmakers. “Categorically refusing to take them only feeds the narrative of ISIS that there is a war between Islam and the West, that Muslims are not welcome in the United States and Europe, and that the ISIS caliphate is their true home.” [That last is ridiculous, no one says an ISIS caliphate should be their home. If it weren’t for boobs like some of you, there wouldn’t be an ISIS today!—ed]
ISIS is one of the acronyms for the Islamic State group.
Among those signing the letter are former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger, George Shultz and Madeleine Albright. Retired Gen. David Petraeus also signed the letter, as did former Homeland Secretary Michael Chertoff and onetime Defense Secretaries Leon Panetta, Chuck Hagel and William Cohen.
Just look at those names and we shouldn’t be surprised America is in the mess it is in now! Because they screwed up over the years, we now have to welcome questionable and expensive migrants to live in American towns!
We featured Madeleine Albright in a post just recently, here.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s migrant fans….. It had to happen. You knew it would. From Breitbart London:
Migrants and locals got into a fight in a restaurant in Bavaria on Sunday, resulting in a 50-year-old German man receiving serious head injuries.
The brawl, which began as an argument between a small group of migrants and local residents eating at a restaurant in the town of Velden, started in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The situation appeared to calm down when the migrants left, but they soon returned with reinforcements.
Around 15 people from the local asylum centre had joined them, with witnesses reporting fist fights and glass bottles being thrown. One witness said the square in front of the restaurant resembled a battlefield, covered in blood.
Six people were injured in the fight, with one 50-year-old German man needing hospital treatment for serious head injuries.
Police arrested a 25-year-old Syrian migrant, but later released him. The investigation continues.
And the brawling wasn’t just migrants v. Germans, but the various diverse ethnic factions entering the country are brawling with each other. Any predictions about where all this will end?
Germany’s police union has previously called for migrants to be separated by country of origin to minimise the risk of inter-ethnic tension.

I am so good! Snookered you Republican governors again!
Update: Leo Hohmann has more on the governors hereat WND.
The White House is making fun of the governors by offering them information that is readily available to the public already!
I had barely posted this earlier post today, when reader Joanne alerted me to this news.
In a laughable bow to governors’ demands that they be told who is coming to their states and where they will be placed, it appears the magnanimous and transparent (sarcasm alert) White House is going to teach governors how to access the Refugee Processing Centerdata base (we just used ithere in our previous post) so they can know AFTER THE FACT who has been brought into the state by a non-profit group.
Here is the news at KnoxNews (hat tip: Joanne):
WASHINGTON — The White House sought Monday to ease concerns among the nation’s governors about Syrian refugees entering the United States by proposing a new program that would provide regular data on refugees who have settled in their states.
In a letter to Gov. Bill Haslam and other governors, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough defended the refugee vetting process as “extraordinarily thorough and comprehensive.” But McDonough said the administration would be willing to work through the National Governors Association to set up a new system to provide governors with more information about the refugees in their states.
Under the new program, once the State Department receives a governor’s request for data on refugees, it would compile a report tailored to that individual state. The data would include information on refugees resettled in the state during the prior month and the fiscal year to date.
That information is already available to anyone wishing to take the time to access it!
As Isaid earlier, the governors should be able to call the US State Department every week, as the decisions are being made. It is outrageous to think that some unelected non-profit group employee is making decisions for state taxpayers.
The US State Department and un-elected non-profits are making the decisions!
President of the Ethiopian Development Council, one of nine major resettlement contractors, knows who is coming to your city in advance when your governor is not permitted to know!
Representatives of the nine contractors*** sit down in the DC area every week and make the decision with the US State Department about where to send refugees! Go here (official US State Dept. website) if you don’t believe me! Maybe the governors should demand to have representatives in those meetings as they divvy-up the cases!
Every week, representatives of each of these nine agencies meet to review the biographic information and other case records sent by the overseas Resettlement Support Centers (RSC) to determine where a refugee will be resettled in the United States.
So to re-cap!
David Miliband(former British Foreign Secretary) and now CEO of the International Rescue Committee knows who is coming to your state in advance, the governor is not permitted to know! Lavinia Limonof USCRI knows in advance, but the governors don’t know. Erol Kekicand the Rev. McCullough of Church World Service know in advance, but the governors don’t know. Tsehaye Teferraof the Ethiopian Development Council knows (your governor isn’t permitted to know). Linda Hartke of the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service knows in advance, but the governors don’t! Mark Hetfield of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society knows in advance, but your governors don’t know.
That is enough, you get the idea!
You didn’t elect these people who are determining the demographic and economic future of your towns and cities!
Be sure to read thewhole article, apparently the issue of the UN/US Refugee Admissions Programwill be on the agenda of the Winter Meeting of the National Governors Association in Washington, DC, February 20-23.
***The nine federal contractors running the show, as Don Barnett said here in the Washington Times on Sunday!

I love it, so many reporters are on the case now! This morning I see Drudge is prominently featuring a CNS news story about how all of the Syrians admitted to the US after the Paris terror attack are Sunni Muslims, click herefor that story. Lots of good information there!
Below is a map (from the Refugee Processing Center) of where the Syrians have been resettled in the US since October 1 (the first day of fiscal year 2016 until yesterday November 30th, assuming the data is up to date as of yesterday).
Two months into the fiscal year, the Obama Administration has 9,577 to go to reach its goal of 10,000 Syrian (mostly Muslims) for this year.
Top five states where the Administration is seeding Syrian Muslims: No surprise California is numero uno, but that they are pouring them into PA is a surprise, and then KY, OH, and TX round out the top five. (Hey Mitch and Rand, where are you?)
Checking the religion numbers for the first two months of fiscal year 2016, it is even worse than two weeks ago. Of the 423 admitted so far, 418 are Sunni Muslims. That comes to 99% Muslim and you can expect numbers like that to continue because the UNHCR is picking our refugees and he told an audience at Georgetown Law School recently (here, we were there), that the Christians are not persecuted because the “regime” (Assad) protects them. I guess for the UNHCR, ISIS is not a persecutor! Go here if you want to play around with the US State Department data base (called the Refugee Processing Center).
