They are having a problem finding housing, but what the heck, let’em in! Boy Trudeau promised change and he is going to get it. Just make sure you keep them all north of the border!
FromThe Guardian:
Canada will take in an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees, adding to the more than 25,000 already received in the last few months, said immigration minister John McCallum.
McCallum told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp he was responding to complaints from Canadian groups who want to sponsor Syrian refugees but did not have their applications processed quickly enough to be among the government’s initial target of 25,000.
“We are doing everything we can to accommodate the very welcomed desire on the part of Canadians to sponsor refugees,” McCallum said in a phone interview with CBC News from Berlin, where he is meeting with the German interior minister.
By the way, Canada’s system is different from ours. They have some government resettled refugees and some privately sponsored ones, ours are all taxpayer-funded refugees with no private sponsorships. Although I think that legally a group/church could still sponsor a refugee family to America, but the resettlement contractors would probably scream bloody murder because it could cut into the numbers they are paid to seed throughout the country.

Yesterday, within hours of the horrific Islamic terror attack in Brussels—a direct result of decades of “welcoming” immigration policy toward refugees, and migrants generally, from Muslim countries— citizens of Colorado Springs took to the streets to say they welcome Syrian mostly Muslim refugeesto their city.
From The Gazette:
About 120 Colorado Springs residents rallied Tuesday on the steps of City Hall in support of refugees – especially Syrians – about 12 hours after deadly terrorist explosions ripped through the Brussels airport and subway.
Banners and speeches urging compassion and human kindness continued the community’s strong opposition to City Councilman Andres Pico’s March 7 proposal, “A Resolution Declaring Opposition to the Relocation of Refugees from the United States Refugee Resettlement Program to the City of Colorado Springs.”

As reader John, who sent this tweet to me said, ‘you can’t make this up!’ Or, you could! (Posted here because we have to laugh from time to time. Alinsky said so!) Laugh of the day….
Spoof?
There is a Marvaan website, here. Check it out! And, they do make some clothing including this “belong” shawl. Buy it to help the homeless in Toronto (there will be many more there after the Syrians get all the public housing).
I guess you will have to wait until Friday to see if they have launched a collection “inspired by the Syrian refugee crisis.” Or not!
Invasion of Europe news…. Can Angela Merkel prevent Europe being eaten away at its core? Merkel loved in Baghdad, in Berlin not so much! http://www.cbsnews.com/news/german-chancellor-angela-merkel-from-debt-villain-to-migrant-heroine/
That is the title of an op-ed by Timothy Garton Ash at The Guardianon Thursday. Here is a bit of it:
Why did you come to Germany and not Italy? I ask Jawad, a skinny 16-year-old from Afghanistan, standing outside his family’s blanket-tented six square metres of home at an emergency refugee reception centre in an east Berlin sports hall. Six months ago he spoke no German, but now he replies without hesitation: “Italien hat kein Geld!” Italy has no money!Short and to the point. A million Jawads arriving in a single year have so shaken up rich and bourgeois-liberal Germany that a xenophobic, anti-immigrant party has just won nearly a quarter of the vote in one east German state.
Around the world people are asking: can Europe’s centre hold?
Politically and economically, Germany is the centre of Europe. The “grand coalition” government of centre-right Christian Democrats and centre-left Social Democrats is the centre of Germany. And Angela Merkel is the centre of that centrist government. In a real sense, therefore, Merkel is the centre of Europe.
Faced with a bad result for her CDU in regional elections in three federal states, she remains outwardly unmoved, sticking to her proclaimed EU-Turkey strategy which the EU summit is being asked to approve in Brussels today. Is this the patient, pragmatic steadiness that has won her so much trust? Or is it the hubris that sets in, as if by some law of physics, when a politician has been in power for more than 10 years? (Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – the list goes on.)

The electoral success of AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) has been the cover story around the world.
It is not just the lower and struggling middle classes in Germany that are rushing to AfD!
Everyone I talked to in Berlin agreed that a striking feature of AfD is the support it enjoys among the educated middle class: professors, doctors, entrepreneurs, lawyers, people who know exactly when to say “Frau Doktor” and are themselves often “Herr Doktor”, if not “Herr Professor”.

Just now I watched the almost non-stop footage of the recent terror take down in Brusselsand wondered how any thinking person couldn’t understand that mass Muslim migration would eventually doom a city and a country.
Say NO to Molenbeek for your town!
They must really be seeing something they aren’t telling us about for Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson to be so forthcoming at a Congressional hearing yesterday.
And, it isn’t just the Syrians and Iraqis we should worry about! Johnson: Refugee stream does present potential for terrorist attacks. At least someone is being honest in the Obama Administration.
From The Hill:
The head of the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday said that the United States’s acceptance of Syrian refugees could pose a national security threat.
Even as President Obama has called for the U.S. to welcome 10,000 Syrian refugees this year, Secretary Jeh Johnson maintained during a hearing on Capitol Hill that the initiative is not risk-free.
“In all candor, I do agree that the refugee flow coming out of Iraq and Syria represents a potential opportunity for terrorist organizations to move its members into other nations for potential attacks,” Johnson testified before the House Homeland Security Committee. “So I agree that there is that potential, which is why just within the last several months we have enhanced our vetting for refugees.”
The claim hints at the problems vexing the Obama administration as it seeks to ramp up the number of refugees brought into the country.
The administration is so far falling far behind Obama’s pledge to bring in 10,000 new Syrian refugees this fiscal year. Since October, the U.S. has brought in just 1,115 of the refugees.
Meanwhile, during this same time period, Canada has admitted 25,000 Syrians with apparently little concern for thorough vetting. It isn’t just Syrians we should worry about. Rescued Rohingya are being resettled in the US by the thousands. They can’t possibly be screened any better than Syrians! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2016/02/27/european-ship-headed-to-asia-to-help-rescue-rohingya-why-you-should-care/
How about security threats from other countries? What do the numbers look like?
(The 2016 fiscal year began on Oct. 1, 2016,numbers below are through February 29th—5 months).
Truth be told: they can’t screen the others below any better than the Syrians!
Syria: 955 (with 946 of those being Muslims). Not sure where The Hillgot the 1,115.
Iraq: 3,476 (2,856 are Muslims)
Somalia: 3,036 (3,034 are Muslims)
Burma: 4,774 (1,135 are Muslims) Yikes! We must be making a big push to get those Rohingya Muslims in to the US before Obama leaves office. I had no idea the number of Burmese Muslims would be this high!
Be sure to see our whole category on the Rohingya of Burma/Bangladesh. Scary!
