“...in the national interest.” ...”
how can it be justified that bringing more Muslims into the US is in the national interest???
...to the contrary!!
Why shouldn’t Muslims from poor countries not emigrate to the many rich Muslim countries like Saudi, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Iran? Why always to the West where they definitely do not belong, EVER! Is there a global conspiracy to islamisize the West?

Lol... call us the great Satan, fly planes into our buildings, declare holy jihad against all Americans, and then....
ask for asylum????
I suppose that if Barry were to appear at his next news conference wearing full muslim garb and a suicide bomb jacket, and said that he was doing so for national security reasons, the media would still back him.
Refugee status to escape the problems many will bring with and nurture in the States.
Are the Dems having problems cementing the loyalty of their Islamist consituents?
Obama is putting the pedal to the metal — he’s destroying our country at a fast and furious rate — will there be anything left resembling the America we once knew? He is our worst enemy. Now we are being invaded by those who live to destroy us. God help us.
Pure unadulterated crap.
Why could they not have been persecuted Christians form those same lands?
Its only the “one” at work supplanting islam in America. The sooner the criminal is out the better!
I wonder was that his October surprise? A gift from satan?
Strange combination. What do you bet all 2000 are from Central Asia. "Central Asia" typically means Afghanistan, Pakistan and the other 'stans.

We're slowly becoming a third world cesspool of uneducated workers.
I hope Drudge posts this and Rush brings it up on the EIB Network. It’s the only way it will really get publicized.
“80,000 immigrants – - mostly from Islamic countries – - to resettle in the United States during fiscal year 2011.”
JUST in time for Obama”care”....
jizya= in islam, a financial PENALTY incurred for all those who have not submitted to islam.
As per Obama”care”, mooselimbs are exempt, as they consider insurance tantamount to gambling-—they and the Amish are exempt.
obama has set this up so that WE Christians will PAY for the healthcare of the mooselimbs.
DON’T tell ME barry isn’t mooselimb.
Bring on the bacon.
Is THIS being scrubbed from the internet, too?!?
“Error 404”....
