WASHINGTON — Two years into a civil war that shows no signs of ending, the Obama administration is considering resettling refugees who have fled Syria, part of an international effort that could bring thousands of Syrians to American cities and towns.

A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families.

The State Department is "ready to consider the idea," an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure...

"Americans have a long tradition of welcoming refugees," said Daryl Grisgraber, a Washington-based Middle East specialist at Refugees International, which provides advocacy and services for refugees. "They'll respond here, too."

Why not ? We have an estimated 11 million illegal Mexicans half of whom believe most of the southwest US is part of Mexico and are just making themselves right at home kicking out the “Gringos” and the negritos (except they don’t call them that) wherever they become the majority.

It’s “impossible” to deport ~20 million illegal aliens already here, but A-OK to import 1.5 million Syrian refugees?

Just what we need.
They will probably be on a short list for citizenship.

Enough is enough, if they want to bring in 1.5 million
syrians, then 3 million illegals will have to GO!

You can bet that if it looked like they were going
to vote Republican, they wouldn’t be wanting to bring
them in.

“...mohammedan...”

That’s quaint.

Let’s go even further back: how about “musselman?”
