H.R. 1388 was passed recently, behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA. This is the news that didn't make the headlines...
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza.
The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Let's review...itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration:
His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S., but within the world, using U. S. tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.
fifth column if there ever was such a thing...
oh goody!
And will there be a new housing program? These poor guys will need a place to live. Maybe they can room with the Gitmo guys?
Can they move in next to me? Please?
Howzabout we pass a bill forcing the banks to make home loans to these poor unfortunate dudes?
Oh wait! We don’t have to anymore - Bawney Fwank owns the banks now!
Obama is now king?
They get free health care too, don’t they? And free cars from GM?
Will they be on any watch list?
(Talk about stupid.....or treasonous...)
This is fake. On it’s face, it contradicts itself - was this HR 1388 or an executive order?
I’m moving to Israel, it’s going to be safer there.
What a load of Ship!
A thousand years ago, the precursors to the G7 rode against the same fools that we the tax payers are now paying to import??
We risked lives then and now to PAY to RELOCATE these barbarians into our society????
WHERE does this relocation make ANY sense???
My guess....
Only if you want to destroy America from within
Can you point to the specific section of the resolution that discusses this? I have been picking through it but can’t find it. I want to make sure I know what I’m talking about when I start writing letters.
Thanks.
“By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in “migration assistance” to the Palestinian refugees and “conflict victims” in Gaza.”
I stand somewhat corrected in this report. While the appropriation was made for Hamas relief, the express purpose was not reolcation of Hamas citizens to the U.S. but to provide aide to the Hamas community. A private reply noted the following Snopes report:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/palestinians.asp
Yet, the presidential appropriation includes the verbage “urgent refugee and migration needs” but wasn’t specific as to “migration.”
Nevertheless, we are providing funding to a terrorist group along with the remaining items noted in the original post.
My apologies for not verifying the entire piece.
The text of your link says:
“...to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million from the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected and urgent refugee and migration needs, including by contributions to international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations and payment of administrative expenses of Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, related to humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.”
I’m not sure that equates to relocation to USA.
I’m also not sure what HR-1388 has to do with your posting.

Now they don't have to bother sneaking across the border from South America, they can just fly in from wherever.
I can hear the FReeper chants now!
What should we say guys?
1) BHO, BHO imported Gaza Bombers with our dough!
2) BHO, BHO what’cha gonna do when the local Mall blows?
3) BHO, BHO Sharia Law Moved in next door!
4) Bush spent billions keeping the PLO and Jihad in the
Middle East, Obama has spent billions bringing the
PLO here!
5) BHO, BHO He’s brought PLO Suicide Bombers to our Shore.
Oh now what’s the problem here? It’s just a few hundred thousand assassins and suicide bombers to terrorize Americans and silence opposition to Obama.
I’m sure they’ll assimilate nicely alongside the American “Jews” who so overwhelmingly supported zer0.
“Nevertheless, we are providing funding to a terrorist group along with the remaining items noted in the original post.”
We’ve been providing funding to terrorist sponsoring states for quite some time. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Obama funds relocation to the US, but will any be repatriated into his and his fellow elected officials neighborhoods? Obama funds it? Courtesy of us all.
