Syrian refugees a ‘defining moment’: Johnston

But he said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he went because he simply likes to see first-hand what he talks about in the campaign. The former neurosurgeon has suggested the best solution is for regional countries to take in refugees with humanitarian support from the United States.

Within the first 17 hours, Carson’s remarks have received 51,055 “likes” and 12,459 “shares”.

Carson and his GOP rivals expressed concern that extremists may sneak into the US among them.

Listen to the interview with the audio above, via Breitbart News Daily. “And there was a pretty uniform answer on that”, Carson said. A majority of these may or may not be legitimate, but we all know that the KKK has been terrorizing and oppressing racial minorities on the North American continent since it was founded in 1866.

“A terrorist can come here, also”.

But Halifax Mayor Mike Savage, whose city has seen countless waves of refugees and immigrants arrive by boat over the past two centuries, said it was important to “face down fear with reason”.

The overall cost of the resettlement program is expected to cost roughly $650 million, with a large chunk of that cost coming from the airfare.

Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said Monday that his visit to a refugee camp in Jordan has reaffirmed his position that the USA should not accept additional refugees from Syria and the American people should instead devote more resources to help support them in the Middle East. Only 100,000 or so live in the camps, the rest are in every community. Nezer noted that one in four people in Lebanon is a Syrian refugee. “But Jordan is a small country”. Hospitals, police, and food service organizations are all under pressure.

“We have to have in place screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are, quite frankly”, Carson said.

Carson’s assertion that the self-described Islamic State group has advertised its willingness to exploit the refugee admission process may have been a reference to a January report in BuzzFeed that ISIS was hiding operatives among Syrian refugees leaving for Europe.

Mayada, aged 40, came to the camp ten months ago with her husband and three children. “In fact, since the beginning of the crisis, 50,000 Syrian babies have been born in Jordan”. According to the Canadian Council for Refugees, the loans can be up to $10,000 per family.

Sajjan said: “I want to thank the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which has shown great leadership in helping millions of Syrians who have been displaced due to conflict in their home country”. We need to do everything we can to guard against that threat. “Right now, we’re filling up the stocks of people that will be available to be airlifted”.

Here’s a question for you to pose next time you walk into Port Hope’s Lakeridge Chrysler Dodge… “We should lead though”. A lot of aid charities are now providing refugees with debit cards which they top up with donations, therefore wifi and a more connected populace makes sense. “Whether there will be two weeks from today is something we can’t take for granted, and we have to work on”.
