The other day, Presidential candidate Donald Trump sounded a bit squishy on the issue of bringing in large numbers of Syrian refugees, but on Hannity last night he says what sure sounds like a NO!
Watch the clip, he does mention that the wealthy Gulf Arab States and Russia aren’t taking any (terrorism fears?). He could mention that China is never asked to take any as well! The UN does pound Japan to take refugees, but they only take a tiny number as they are wisely trying to save their unique culture.
Here he is in a far-ranging interview that begins with his views on the Iran nuclear deal. For the refugee discussion begin watching at 7:50 minutes. Thanks to Richard at Blue Ridge Forum for alerting us to this news.

Please see our earlier post this morning where we reported that fellow GOP Presidential hopeful, Gov. Scott Walker, is saying no as well.
If you see more on what position other candidates are taking, please send a link in a comment to this post.
Obama will likely be telling the world sometime this month how many he will “welcome” to live in your towns and cities.

Germany: Surprise! (not!) ISIS fighter caught posing as asylum seeker
Invasion of Europe news…..
Well, here you go, you knew it had to happen. At least they caught this one! I wonder how many more there are?
From The New Observer (hat tip: Joanne):
An ISIS terrorist posing as an “asylum seeker” has been arrested by German police in a “refugee” center in Stuttgart, and German customs officers have seized boxes containing Syrian passports being smuggled into Europe.
According to a report carried by RTL’s German language service, the terrorist is a 21-year-old Moroccan using a “false identity” who had registered as an asylum seeker in the district of Ludwigsburg. He was identified after police linked him to a European arrest warrant issued by the Spanish authorities. He is accused of recruiting fighters for ISIS, where he acted as a contact person for fighters who wanted to travel to Syria or Iraq.
Fake Syrian passports seized!
This first confirmed arrest of a bogus “asylum seeker” came simultaneously with the admission by a German finance ministry spokesman that “boxes” of fake Syrian passports, destined for sale and distribution to the hordes of nonwhite invaders seeking to settle in Europe as bogus “war refugees,” had been seized.
That news, carried in a report by the German Tagespiegel newspaper, also revealed that 10,000 fake Syrian passports were seized by police in Bulgaria, on their way to Germany.
The finance ministry official said both genuine and forged passports were in the packets intercepted in the post. Possession of these passports is a vital part of claiming “asylum” as “war refugees.”
Do you know that in the process of “screening” Syrians and others from the Middle East destined for America, prospective refugees are asked if they have ever been involved in terrorist activities. So what do you think they are going to answer—a big fat NO!
Take action!
Every one reading these pages must contact your Member of Congress and US Senators and tell them ‘no’ to admitting Syrian Muslim refugees! Time is of the essence because Obama could announce any day now that he will be opening the floodgates to Syrians.
You don’t think he is going to let Merkel, Cameron and the Pope be the humanitarian big shots do you?
While you are talking to your elected officials tell them that we have had enough Iraqi, Somali, Uzbek, Burmese, and Afghan Muslim refugees as well.

Seattle: Group forms to bring more Syrians to Washington state
I suspect this is happening in other cities too—immigrant activists meeting to see how to get more of their mostly Muslim countrymen into the US.
If there are any ‘pockets of resistance’ in Washington state be sure to check out who the Syrian activists are and plan to attend their next meeting.
From the Seattle Globalist (no mention of persecuted Christians):
Dozens of Seattle-area residents gathered over the weekend to brainstorm ways to help people fleeing the war in Syria — including bringing more refugees into the state.
[….]
In Seattle, Hussein Ali, a Syrian immigrant who overcame challenges to move his family from Damascus to the U.S., quickly organized the event to make action plans. Ali says he wants the community to pressure their Congressional representatives to increase the limit of 8,000 Syrian refugees allowed into the U.S.
[….]
The next gathering is planned for Sept. 13 at the University of Washington. The group has a new page on Facebook.
It won’t take much to pressure one of their US Senators as Senator Patty Murray is a member in good standing of the Senate ‘Jihad Caucus’ which has gone on record to promote the resettlement of 65,000 Syrians to your towns across America.
Search RRW for more on Seattle, but don’t miss this post about the Seattle low income housing crisis because so many Somali refugees are occupying those units. Syrians and Somalis will soon be squabbling over housing!
Reminder! The timing could not be better for Obama. He sends his annual determination letter to Congress this month! Will your Member of Congress or US Senator say a critical word about it?
National Security Spokesman: Obama poised to resettle Syrians
Of course we are already taking Syrian refugees, but the implication is that the US may dramatically boost the numbers.
This is the latest news reported by Leo Hohmann of World Net Daily earlier this evening. As we have said previously, Hohmann’s familiarity with the refugee issue allows him to add background to each of his articles making it easier for readers new to the subject to ‘get caught up’ fairly quickly.
He begins with news from AP today. I thought it was interesting to see that it is Obama’s national security team releasing this little nugget and not the US State Department. Fitting I suppose since it is the national security piece that most Americans have foremost on their minds as they watch footage of aggressive young men rushing trains and fighting among each other as they try to get to Germany (and other ‘welcoming’ countries offering generous ‘social services’).
The Obama administration is “actively considering” ways to help relieve the European migrant crisis, and among the options on the table is a massive resettlement of “refugees” inside the United States.
Peter Boogaard, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Associate Press the United States is in contact with countries in the Middle East and Europe grappling with the migration of nearly 400,000 Middle Eastern and African migrants into Europe.
Boogaard did not elaborate on specific measures being considered, but said they included “refugee resettlement.”
“Many are fleeing the civil war in Syria and areas in Iraq under the control of Islamic State militants,” the AP reported.
But a closer look at the United Nations refugee agency’s data shows that “many” of these so-called refugees are likely not refugees at all.
According to data from the U.N. high commissioner for refugees, 75 percent of the migrants who arrived on European soil are men, while 13 percent are children and 12 percent women.
What’s more, only a slight majority of the refugees are Syrian, at 51 percent. The remainder are from all over the Middle East and North Africa and many have purchased the passports of dead Syrians.
Continue reading.
The timing is propitious!
Hohmann quotes me as speculating that the Obama Administration could make some grand announcement when Pope Francis arrives in Washington later this month. (LOL! Gee how many ‘refugee’ families will the Obama’s invite to live in the White House?) Whether he does it then (to get the most for his PR buck), or at some other point this month, readers here know that conveniently Obama’s decision for how many refugees we take for FY2016 is due in Congress before September 30th anyway.
Congress has a “consultation” role, but as far as I know, they have never taken any action to question what the President wants, which for this president has been 70,000 refugees (a year) total from all countries combined. The resettlement contractors are demanding he more than double that number to accommodate the admission of anywhere from 65,000-100,000 Syrians in the coming year (an astronomical number!).
Trump: "possibly" bring some Syrians to the US
This news is four days old, but I heard it tonight on Fox as I arrived home from DC.
Here is what CNN reported over the holiday (and Fox repeated):
(CNN)Republican front-runner Donald Trump said Friday that the Syrian refugee crisis is “so horrible” that he would consider allowing the U.S. to accept some of the displaced refugees.
When asked whether the United States should assist European countries and accept some of the refugees on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump said, “We have so many problems, and the answer is, possibly, yes.”
All I can say is that by now Trump has access to some of the most knowledgeable people in the country on immigration issues and he better get boned-up on this issue pretty quickly because the question (and decision by Obama) of the number of Syrian refugees the US will be dropping off in your towns is coming at us like a freight train.
I’ll be very surprised if candidates are not asked about our refugee policy at the upcoming CNN debate.
The most important question is how many, but not far behind is the one I have not heard one mainstream media outlet mention—will we be taking in mostly Muslim Syrians as we have already? Or, are we going to prioritize the persecuted Christians? I think the average America, who knows nothing about what is going on with refugees, simply ASSUMES the Christians are at the head of the line when in fact they are not!
And, not far behind the questions about number and religion is another biggie—are we going to forego normal security screening?
