With conditions continuing to deteriorate in Syria, the Obama administration is making a major policy shift by agreeing for the first time to allow thousands of new Syrian refugees into the United States, The Cable has learned.
The numbers are relatively small: just 2,000 refugees, compared to an estimated two million people who have fled Syria during the civil war. But it's a significant increase from the 90 or so Syrian refugees who have been permanently admitted to the U.S. in the last two years. And it's not entirely uncontroversial. The refugees, mostly women and children, will be screened for terrorist ties -- a process that could take a year or more to complete.
Unlike previous efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to give temporary protected status to Syrians already in the United States, the State Department effort will bring in Syrians from overseas for permanent resettlement in America.

Holy crap! They’re doing exactly the same thing the leftists did in Europe. Play by play!
Awesome. Do they get to bring their rocket launchers with them?
The refugees, mostly women and children
Hopefully Christian or soon to be Christian once they hear the “word.”
Wonder how many AQ operatives will be coming in with them.
Invade the world
Invite the world
In hock to the world
What could go wrong???/s
"mostly women (named Achmed) and children (with beards)"
Obama is letting in al Qaeda, after giving them
MANPADs to also take in through the open borders.
The US Congress is whoring, drunk, and screwing the public.
This will not end well.
There may be Al Qaeda but I am not sure they have to wait for this to come in. They can just walk across the border
Good news for the 24 hours cable news networks that cover attacks and disasters in America. Lots of ratings being imported in. I don’t know about bringing all of these cowards here who are afraid to fight for their own country though. I doubt if they’d ever stand up and fight for America either.
If anybody deserves asylum, it’s whites in South Africa who are being brutally murdered and driven from their farms.
“Awesome. Do they get to bring their rocket launchers with them?”
No just housewares (pressure cookers, fertilizers and such).
Why walk, when you can fly (probably first class) on the Great Satan's dime?
Once in their radical relatives will follow - more for the Muslim Trojan Horse.
2,000 more perpetually outraged possible terrorists. Way to go Barry.
As long as they let in the Christians fleeing persecution by the “rebels” I’m all for letting in Syrian refugees — the big Arab Christian population in Wichita came here the last time the Sunnis in that part of the world decided to persecute Christians (look up a life of St. Joseph of Damascus). I have a feeling, though, I’ll end up being against the policy when they just let in Sunnis.
Democrat voters!!! Yeah.
The U.S. is so screwed...
Jordan?
Saudi Arabia?
Singapore???
How many damn nations with that crescent moon in their flag are there that they cant take in their Muslim “brothers”?
Nah! We can take them in!
2 bombers shut down the greater Boston area.
Only 2,000 Syrians?
Good thing we beat terrorism... What? Oh.
Wow, it’s almost as if it had been planned this way!
/feigned surpise
And existing American citizens still can’t visit their own White House. FUBO and congress.
Have the neocons shown up to tell all how hard working wonderful pro-family these people are?
They will be checked for RPGs. I they don’t have them, State Dept will give them each one. /s
All Part of the Muslim in Chief’s plan.
You know, like they did in Boston, when the Russians warned us about those two Muslims who killed people at the marathon.
No!
Not that anyone asked my permission.
voting privileges will be given to the “refugees” who are probably all MB sympathizers...I was predicting this months ago...along with other people,,no surprise
It seems so incredibly simple. Let Muslim countries take in Muslim refugees. We already take in more than our fair share without putting the country at such great risk.
But no....
To obtain welfare from those that are working. Or it comes from Obama’s stash. Or someplace.
At every turn Obama favors the Islamists and weakens the US. He is also arming Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood trying to overthrow Assad. If Assad falls, hundreds of thousands of Christians in Syria will have to flee or be killed. You won't hear about the plight of the Christians in Syria any more than he is worried about the slaughter of the Copts in Egypt.
No prob, as long as they’re settled in Georgetown.
“...without putting the country at such great risk.”
That worked out real well with the Iraqis who helped blow the Murrah Bldg in OKC.
We’re so infiltrated and compromised now, on every imaginable level, that when the tens/hundreds-of-thousands of terrorist sleepers get the “go orders”, TSHTF.
The USA is going to hxll in a hand basket because of so-called wealthy elites and limousine NYC liberals who not only own the lib Party, but have it by the bxlls, as well as their politicians. They are intent on dividing and conquering us, and taking our firearms too, just as Pat Buchanan and others have enumerated many times.
I am so angry about this I can’t come up with the proper cure words to express myself!
They’ll be passed thru the Muslim Mosque organizations to “adjust”.... who will instill further in them how to ‘avoid’ and resist proselytizing....furthermore what will happen if they do.
Over time they will then teach them how to have “christian” conversations with Christians , using Christian verbiage, in order to convert Christians to Islam and assure them that was their purpose for being brought here..to help make American Islamic.
.... So now what is this about us Christianizing them?????
How many AQ members among the Syrian “refugees”?
When 0bama uses the NSA and DOJ to unearth EVERYTHING in one's past, it's difficult to get ANYONE to risk losing their career to get the truth out about 0bama's crimes. EVERYONE IN CONGRESS IS BEING BLACKMAILED, INCLUDING ROBERTS FOR HIS OBAMACARE DECISION. That didn't smell right at the time and now we know why.
You left off the part about these woman and children being ill or needing medical attention or having been tortured...which the article speaks about..those at the front of the line..
So when you add Islamic teaching to abused and tortured...what do you get...post-tramatic psychological issues....80% of Muslims who come to this country have psychological problems.
But I'm sure they'll find outstanding jobs and contribute to the Obamacare Health Insurance...right?
That would be “curse” words. Me and my damn spelling.
This is no longer the United States of America....it is now something else altogether...one of which is the dumping ground for the misfits of third world countries their own people won’t take.
Why doesn’t China take a few?
None of these people will understand our history or the basic pinning’s of a Republic Democracy or the mind set of our Founding Fathers.
