US ‘discriminates’ against Christian refugees, accepts 96% Muslims, 3

But so far, all Paris attackers who have been identified and confirmed are European nationals according to Federica Mogherini, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission.

What to do with the Syrian refugees is proving to be politically volatile.

As the nation argues about whether or not to accept Syrian refugees – especially now that it appears at least two of the Paris attackers used forged passports to re-enter Europe, using the migrant crisis as a Trojan Horse – a few details about who we’ve already accepted seem to show a “refugee system” that’s hopelessly stacked against those who need refuge the most: Arab Christians. “It’s been a noble tradition in our country for many years”.

The vote sends a strong message to Obama that a majority of the Congress disapproves of his climate regulations. “We can’t roll the dice with the safety of Americans and bring in people for whom there is an unacceptable risk that they could be jihadists coming here to kill Americans”.

“But it is precisely the Obama administration’s unwillingness to recognize that or ask those questions that makes them so unable to fight this enemy”. The letter was signed by Republicans Mark Kirk of IL, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Dan Coats of IN and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, along with Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

At the same time, Cruz believes Christian refugees should be allowed to enter the U.S. “Compassion for Syrian refugees is important, but a fierce determination to protect the American people is also important”.

Those concerns were also seen in several state governor’s offices. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), another presidential candidate, said Monday that he wouldn’t even support letting in orphan refugees under the age of 5. They do not wrestle with God’s instructions for how the Israelites should treat refugees and immigrants.

Donald Trump indicated he wants to expel current Syrian refugees and Ben Carson said taking in Syrian refugees is a “suspension of intellect”.

McCaul isn’t the only lawmaker to consider legislation aimed at stopping Obama. Sen.

Republican candidate Ted Cruz, a US senator from Texas, sponsored Facebook ads opposing Syrian refugees that read, in part, “Tell President Obama that Syrian refugees infiltrated by ISIS don’t belong in America”. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Republican Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, said the Immigration and Border Security subcommittee of his panel would hold a hearing on the refugee program on Thursday.

“We must do all we can to prevent a Paris-style attack from happening here”, Grassley said Monday on the Senate floor. “Under the administration’s proposed plan, we may not be able to stop such an attack”.

Others, however, say the American state governors’ opposition to resettling the refugees is understandable. If the United States is unable to establish the true identity and associations of persons seeking admittance to the United States as refugees, the United States should lead global efforts to provide for the security and material well-being of such persons at safe locations in the region. Others are demanding more information about the process for vetting refugees being considered for admission.

Meanwhile, US House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters Tuesday morning that the Syrian refugee situation “requires a pause” and said that the ultimate solution is a strategy to defeat ISIS.
