Christian Group Says Accepting Syrian Refugees Should Be The ‘Central

McDonough’s letter says nothing about delaying or abandoning the president’s plan to to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States in fiscal 2016.

Traylor’s warning is part of state efforts to block the resettlement of Syrian refugees in Texas. Rauner, a Republican, cited security concerns following the terror attacks in Paris. Some take the side of many congresspeople, saying that the Syrian refugees pose a threat to the USA, and it would be best not to allow them into the country.

“The facts remain that ISIS used the Syrian refugee crisis to smuggle its terrorists into France and carry out their tragic and deadly acts”, said Kirk’s campaign manager Kevin Artl in a statement.

In a November 24 online forum for youth and young adults, Bishop Andrew Cozzens, auxiliary bishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis, said Syrian refugees should be viewed “as people in need, not as terrorists”.

“The threat to the US homeland from refugees has been relatively low. He can’t control who lives in his state”.

Civil liberties groups on Monday denounced Scott’s desire to close Florida’s borders to additional refugees from Syria.

Traylor, in charge of refugee programmes in Texas, said in the letter that the state “has been unable to achieve cooperation” with the IRC in “relocating some Syrian refugees in the near future”, EFE news reported.

Barlow said the process is thorough. Drawing on the history of the Mayflower pilgrims, English Christian separatists who were escaping persecution back in Europe, Obama compared their plight to that of Syrian refugees today, who are fleeing the violence of ISIS and the regime of Bashar Al-Assad.

CAIR Florida said Scott’s rhetoric legitimizes discriminatory actions against the Muslim-American community. Those of us outside the immigration system don’t know how well the screening process for refugees works. The ACLU filed suit on behalf of a resettlement group in Indiana.

Her son says they don’t worry about their own safety after the Paris attacks and this wave of anti-refugee sentiment.

Amin was nearly the victim of those attacks after she was targeted and had to leave her home country after two attempts to kidnap and kill her failed. But speaking to reporters Monday, McCarthy wouldn’t identify any specific proposals.

“While almost half of Syrians would like to leave their country, if given the opportunity, this does not mean all of them will”, says Gallup in its analysis.

An American tank passed by and the men left, but it was enough to make Amin realize that it was time to leave. But he said it’s not in the refugee program, but rather the visa program. It took 19 months before they were accepted.

“With the background checks coming out of Syria right now, they are checking to see are you on a terrorist watch-list.?” It’s worth remembering that one of the justifications for rejecting those Jewish refugees was the fear of saboteurs and insurrectionists hidden among them. Now, people who have previously traveled to countries known to promote terrorism will face screening before being granted entry to the U.S.

“We have a good house and the people here are very kind”, Idris said.
