Refugees Truly in Need of Help


Now that we're well on the way to WWIII, it doesn't seem right to me that we should be opening our doors and our borders to refugees from the same lands where the enemy is in control, and especially not without fully vetting each and every one of them. The House of Representatives passed a veto-proof bill this week to stop the inflow until full vetting can be accomplished, but the Senate is likely to block it before it reaches the President.

But then, our President has committed to bring in at least 10,000 refugees without any background checks whatsoever.  You see, it is "the humanitarian thing to do."  Did he, somewhere in his extensive educational process, ever read the story of the Trojan Horse?

The President has said that the faith of refugees is not an issue in their acceptance for asylum, but that is just not true.  In fact, the law regarding immigration of refugees clearly states that religious persecution is a determining factor in their eligibility for refugee immigration status.  I hesitate to use the epithet "ignorant" for our President, but he is, after all, ignoring the law of the land.

Oh, and what about those other "refugees" from the Middle East, the Christian ones whom we see on the nightly news nearly every night being beheaded after the women and children are first raped and the men are tortured?  Are they among those eligible refugees, since they are proven to be persecuted and killed at a moment's notice? 

No, the President does not want to include the Christians in with the Muslims to whom he has given full immunity and benefits upon arrival.  They, the Christians, are "persona non grata" in the scheme of things here is the good old USA.

Oh, by the way, those unwelcome Christians are scheduled to be fully vetted without government assistance and without a single taxpayer dollar.  That's because they have been funded by contributions that currently amount to 12 million dollars through an organization called The Nazarene Fund.  Most of the adults are educated and productive workers who could fend for themselves here in America.  Most are also family groups as opposed to the single male individuals over 18 who make up the vast majority, over 62% by some estimates, of Muslims in the "chosen group."

I don't know how to get through to our President, and I highly doubt that it would make any difference if we could, but I do know how to contact my congressional senators and representative and the leaders of both houses.  I think it is high time we learn whether or not the Republicans and, yes, the Democrats have the guts to stand up for the only people in the Middle East whom we can guarantee are not part of ISIS/ISIL.  And we had better do it before they are completely eradicated, as four-and-one-half-million have been killed over the past decade.

If you do not know how to contact your senators and representatives, I invite you to contact me via email and I'll give you a tutorial.  But do it sooner rather than later, as time is running out for the true refugees.  Thanks for your support.

If you need any further incentive to make your decision, here it is from the office of United States Senator Jeff Sessions: ‎Below is a partial list of refugees and other Muslim migrants admitted to the U.S. who have committed or been charged with terrorism since just 2013.  Each year, the U.S. permanently resettles more than 100,000 Muslim migrants, in addition to thousands more on temporary student and work visas, a large portion of this funded through the annual appropriations bill:

An immigrant from Bangladesh, who applied for and received U.S citizenship,‎  tried to incite people to travel to Somalia and conduct violent jihad against the United States. (June 2014)
An immigrant from Ghana, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, pledged allegiance to ISIS and plotted a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. (June 2015)
An immigrant from Sudan, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, tried to join ISIS and wage jihad on its behalf after having been recruited online. (June 2015)
A Bosnian refugee, along with his wife and five relatives, donated money and supplies, and smuggled arms, to terrorist organizations in Syria and Iraq. (February 2015)
An immigrant from Yemen, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, along with six other men, was charged with conspiracy to travel to Syria and to provide material support to ISIS. (April 2015)·

6 Members of Minnesota’s Somali-American refugee community have recently been charged with trying to join ISIS. The Washington Times reported that “the effort [to resettle large groups of Somali refugees in Minnesota] is having the unintended consequence of creating an enclave of immigrants with high unemployment that is both stressing the state’s safety net and creating a rich pool of potential recruiting targets for Islamist terror groups.” (February 2015)
An Uzbek refugee living in Idaho was arrested and charged with providing support to a terrorist organization, in the form of teaching terror recruits how to build bombs. (July 2015)
