Religious groups want U.S. to accept 100,000 Syrian refugees

Religious groups in the United States have urged the White House to step up its response to the Syrian refugee crisis, with one on Tuesday calling Washington's efforts so far "disappointing."Church World Service, a global humanitarian organization that represents 37 Christian denominations, has called on the government to take in 100,000 Syrians over the next year, said Jen Smyers, who works on the group's immigration and refugee program.The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and the Jewish refugee assistance agency HIAS along with secular groups have also backed that figure.

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com Through the blog of Ann Corcoran, I found that these “religious “ groups get paid $1800 per “refugee”. It’s all about their money, big money.

“Religious” groups-leftists have corrupted that term just like every other word which described a traditionally conservative position on issues, because I can almost guarantee that almost all these “Christian” churches belong to the apostate World Council Of Churches. It’t the left’s way of confusing the issue and corrupting the institution.

Not everyone who says “Lord, Lord...” Matthew 7:21

how do you prove thy're Christian?

I suppose we could ask them to trample on the Koran or eat a piece of bacon.

I would not mind taking Christian Syrians - the US govt is partially responsible for the persecution they have suffered. Christians had it pretty good under Assad, but when we started trying to remove him, they suffered.

Ditto.

Why are the Muslim nations in the Middle East, all of whom are oil rich, not coming forward to take in their own? Answer: Because they want to spread their Caliphate all over the world and this is a way to do it with minimum bloodshed and have the Great Satan pay for it to boot. Trump would NEVER negotiate a deal like that. JMHO.

Fine, let in the Christians and Yazidi. Let the Muslim countries take care of the Muslims.

From what I’ve read, the way it works is that these “churches” get federal money to bring the “refugees” here, where the “refugees” are then dumped onto an unsuspecting community where the taxpayers (who are never consulted) are then required to provide them with all the things to which they ntend to become accustomed, including abridgement of the rights of Biblical Christians and the “non-diverse” inhabitants. I wish just once one of these groups would get dumped at Martha’s Vineyard or the Hamptons.

How many mosques will have to be built, will be demanded be built, to accommodate such refugees?

WE could gladly take Syrian Christians. Christians are something we are sorely in need of in the US.

While I (a Jew) agree that we could certainly use more Christians in this country, I'll refer you to stephenjohnbanker's statement:

Yeah....100,000 18-25 year old Muslims, who all claim to be Christians like they are claiming everywhere else at port of entry. No problem!"

Please keep in mind that the Muzzies are murdering most, if not all, of the Syrian Christians before they reach Europe. This is an invasion, not a horde of refugees - and while it is undoubtedly true that there are many legit refugees leaving Syria, the fact that 2/3 - 3/4 of the "refugees" are young Moslem males makes me doubt anything other than an invasion. Please don't let your better angels get the best of your reason - reason says that "IT'S A TRAP!!"

Actually we don't have to worry about that, the Saudis will gladly pay for those.

If people come to the US from other countries and want to become Americans; people that already know or are willing to quickly learn English; that will respect existing laws, in particular the US Constitution; that want to work; that have gone through the admittedly difficult immigration process;....then I am ok with that.

What the US is dealing with on the Southern boarder is something completely different. What Europe is dealing with right now, is something completely different. THE WESTERN WORLD IS BEING INVADED! It began slowly, but there is now a critical mass ‘in country’ and the next wave has started. It is a much bigger, much more aggressive wave.

Lots of these “religious groups” enter paid contracts with government. We saw the same thing with the unaccompanied “children”.

Here in Michigan religious adoption agencies are whining that they are going to be forced to let gays adopt but as others pointed out, “They took the 30 pieces of silver”.

There is a way out but it all depends on which God it is that they really worship.

Tell me why the Syrian Moslems would flee to one or another Christian nation, and not to another Moslem nation where they speak the same language, have the same religion and the same (or very similar) customs? Sounds AT LEAST a little fishy to me.

IT’S A TRAP!!!!
