Do you remember this headline only four short years ago? Probably not. I hadn’t, although I surely wrote about it at the time. It was right after one of those horrible Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe and it woke from slumber some Republican governors for a few minutes.
30 Governors Call For Halt To U.S. Resettlement Of Syrian Refugees
My how things have changed.
They talked tough then (mostly because Obama was in office and they knew they had no voice), but now when the President has actually presented them with an opportunity to put up or shut up and go on record saying NO to more refugees from the Middle East and elsewhere, well now they are worried about their “workforce” and they tuck their tails and run fearing they will be perceived as mean and unwelcoming by the Dems.
Here is a very cool graphic from NPR at the time.
Nothing has changed by the way! We bring fewer Syrians these days, but the vast majority of Syrians who do come are Muslims.
And, not just Syrians, but Iraqis, Somalis, Burmese Rohingya and literally tens of thousands of Afghans.
The vetting can’t really be improved because as Senator Marco Rubio said at the time:
“There is no background-check system in the world that allows us to find that out, because who do you call in Syria to background-check them?”
That same common sense applies to most places in the Middle East, Asia and Africa—who you gonna call?
Although I should be writing on all sorts of things on this subject, not to mention that my other blog ‘Frauds and Crooks’ is suffering from lack of attention, I found myself rummaging around Wrapsnet (the Refugee Processing Center) and holy cow!
Four years: 19,514 Syrians!
In the 4 years since NPR posted their story (from November 17, 2015 to today December 11, 2019) we admitted 19,514 Syrians—19,514! 19,195 of those are Muslims!
Although most of those came as Obama was leaving town, 6,413 of the Syrian Muslims came in Trump’s first (partial) year with 602 since.
Here is where the nearly 20,000 Syrians were placed:
Amazing how we forget!
Don’t miss Daniel Horowitz today at Conservative Review:
GOP governors betraying constituents by pushing refugee resettlement
He linked a list of today’s Republican Governors and so far that we know of (some might be hiding!), Republican governors of Utah, New Hampshire, Arizona and North Dakota are opposing the President (and America Firsters) on the issue of Refugee Resettlement.
One big problem with refugees and illegal aliens is that many of them have mental illness.
I had a brother in long term care at a state mental health facility. I noticed over the years there were increasing numbers of patients who didn’t speak or write English. Some could communicate in their native language verbally, but never learned how to write.
Talk about a burden. Most public mental health facilities are already overtaxed and understaffed, then you add a communications block!
Once an illegal alien gets admitted to a public mental health facility, they usually remain for life. You can’t make a legal determination of nationality, unless they arrived with government ID from their native country. Most don’t, and the family quickly figures out, if there is a family, it’s best not to assist in that regard.
WE are doomed.
Bampumim Teixeira was a west african with a green card who worked as a security guard and robbed banks. A liberal judge, Lisa Grant, sentenced him to 364 days so that he wouldn’t be deported. He then murdered two doctors and had to be escorted from the courtroom for threatening to rape the prosecutor’s wife. So now we have two dead doctors and have to pay to keep this animal caged for the rest of his life, because of this judge’s “compassionate” decision to keep him here. It’s the same thing as sanctuary cities ignoring ICE detainers and allowing the criminals to continue to prey on American citizens. Where is the compassion in that?
If you have a link to the story, send it my way.
What a difference a day makes in the life of a criminally convicted alien!
