After Paris Attack, What About Syrian Refugees?
If open-borders fans are using this story as proof that there still haven’t been any real refugees linked to terrorism, okay, but no one seriously claims that most refugees are terrorists. “As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril”. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley – said the USA should admit far more than the 10,000 Syrians to which Obama has committed, but only with proper screening.
“We escaped from this kind of situation in Afghanistan”, said another.
The governor later added, “It’s also important to remember that these attacks are the efforts of extremists and do not reflect the peaceful ways of people of Middle Eastern descent here and around the world”.
“These are the victims of ISIS and radical fundamentalists”, he said. To date there has been no credible intelligence of terror threats in Alabama.
“Louisiana has been kept in the dark about those seeking refuge in the state”, Jindal wrote in a letter to Obama. “It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state’s knowledge or involvement”.
Twenty-nine Republican governors have declared this week that their states will not accept Syrian refugees.
A spokesman for President Barack Obama said on Sunday that the administration is moving forward with its plan to thoroughly vet and admit as many as 10,000 Syrian refugees.
However, Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, disagreed with Rhodes’ assessment.
“I disagree”, he said.
“We don’t have the databases”, he said. Such measures, nonetheless, are likely to be proposed in the wake of the Paris attacks. “There are a lot of holes – gaping holes”.
“It therefore remains to be determined whether it was a refugee sent by IS to Europe to carry out an attack, or whether it is a cunning chess move by the IS, which laid this trail in order to scare people”, the minister said.
From Donald Trump’s characterization of all Syrian refugees as male, Muslim, potential terrorists to Jeb Bush’s comments about letting in only Christian refugees – it’s all inappropriate and rages against our fundamental values as a nation.
The passport registration puts the fictional refugee through the primary Balkan route used by over 800,000 refugees to escape the war, and officials say it appears to be deliberately crafted to appear to be a common refugee, linking this non-existent attacker to everyone else who fled the war.
The Belgian and French nationals who have been identified as conspirators in the terrorist attacks in Paris could have done the same. “They will continue to increase in numbers in Turkey Jordan that Lebanon where absorption capacity has already been reached and exceeded”, he says.
Fellow GOP challenger Sen. Syrian refugees have a better chance of getting asylum in Germany than those classified as economic migrants from Afghanistan, Iraq or Pakistan.
“The problem is not the background checks”, the Florida lawmaker said on ABC’s “This Week”. You can die at any time in your house in Syria.
After the bombs and Kalashnikov fire of the Paris attacks, a mere document – a passport – found near the body of an attacker is generating a new wave of dread throughout Europe and beyond.
Governors do not have the legal authority to exclude Syrian migrants from their states, but they could obstruct the federal government’s process for settling refugees here by withholding funds and manpower.
