For the past several weeks it seemed as if Germany had truly become the promised land for Mideast asylum seekers, primarily those seeking to escape the Syrian civil (and global proxy) war, but according to various media reports, also a material number of "ISIS-linked terrorists." Then it all came crashing down earlier today when Germany's beloved by all refugees "Mutti" said genug, and with one decision shut down the border with Austria in the process unraveling decades of customs-union progress (following promptly by the Czech Republic doing the same, with Italy expected to follow suit in the hours ahead).
Ironically, just as Europe is shutting its doors to Syrian refugees, the US is opening its own.
On Friday, Obama said that the United States will admit 10,000 Syrian refugees for resettlement over the next 12 months, following criticism that America is not doing enough with Europe's migrant crisis.
How will this take place logistically? As AFP notes, "this would represent a huge increase in the number of families arriving on US soil. In the more that four years since fighting erupted barely 1,800 Syrians have been welcomed here." Which is why the French wire service did a brief summary of the various steps involved in admitting a record number of Syrians on US soil.
Here are the key points:
How will Obama's promise be delivered and what hurdles are keeping the refugees from arriving sooner
More than four million people have fled the fighting in Syria since 2011 and most are living in camps in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt and Iraq, where the UN High Commissioner for Refugees registers them. Some 18,000 of these people -- chosen because they are the most vulnerable whether through family circumstances, injury or disability - have been referred to the United States for

BS!!! who does he think he is? Halt this right now Republicans!! No more!!!
I’d be satisfied if these refugees were to moved by the next president to the buildings surrounding the permanent residence of the 44th president. If there aren’t enough buildings, sufficient numbers should be built to satisfy the location requirement.
Call your congressmen and senator. I doubt the phone line tickle will do much but our democracy has led to so much self neutering that’s just about all you can legally do.
All people in Europe and the United States have become sheeple. Myself included. All we can do is sit here and type in disapproval, and our Republic does not listen.
This is the time for the governors to bar the entry of these “refugees”. They could if they so chose.
I noticed that Louisiana has four cities scheduled to receive a few thousand. I’ll be waiting to watch our lion of a governor, Jindal, deny Obama access to our state. He so boldly attacked Trump when mere words were his weapons. Let’s see what happens when he has a choice of actually matching his “bravery” with actions.
Jeb! will have sexual excitations as he welcomes Middle Easterners to his state.
McCain and Graham want even more to come in per their interview on Fox this morning:

It’s nauseating how so many on this thread are yucking it up, about this.
This is an invasion, led by our “C”IC....nothing less.
We should ALL be up in arms, bearing pitchforks.
From what I've seen, most appear to be young men of military age..... Am I wrong..??

KILL LIST: ISIS posts photos, names, addresses of US soldiers, Theres gonna be attack this month on soldiers in America
The only questions to ask are ‘Which of our elected officials are converts already’, and ‘How much are they getting from the Saudis for this’.
While our Congress commits treason; Pamela fights the good fight. Deport ALL Muslims, before it is too late.
Kasich Agrees With Obama: America Needs To Be Part Of Solving Syrian Refugee Crisis
The answer to the first is 'All of them.'
The second is 'More than they receive in salary, bribes, kickbacks, and graft.'
Yep. I check her every day now several times a day. She is a brave voice in the wilderness. We are wide open for an attack in so many ways because of our evil leadership.
Where in the hell is Congr....
Damn! What’s the point?
That's not the only question.
Another question: which of our elected congressmen and senators are *not* being blackmailed into supporting the muslim in the white house.
That’s another good one.
