Forget Paris: GOP candidate to double funding for Syrian 'refugees'
WND ^ | 15 Nov 2015 | Leo Hohmann

Posted on 11/15/2015 3:55:27 PM PST by amorphous

In the wake of the deadly Paris attacks by ISIS, some GOP presidential candidates such as Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and even Marco Rubio are calling for an end to Syrian refugee resettlement in the U.S.

Most of the others have been silent or vague on the issue of Syrian refugees - about 2,000 of whom have already arrived in the U.S. despite warnings from the FBI that it’s impossible to vet their backgrounds.

But there is one candidate who is clearly on the record wanting more Syrian Muslims to pour into American cities and towns as "refugees," despite the fact that at least one of the seven attackers in Paris had a Syrian passport and entered France as a "refugee."

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who positions himself as a war hawk against ISIS, is co-sponsoring legislation with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., to nearly double the amount of funding Washington spends on resettling refugees from Syria.

The people won’t vote for him so the people must be punished.

I thought this money was to resettle them in camps in the Middle East, so they don’t come here.

“Without giving a number, Graham has said the U.S. should accept its “fair share” of Syrian refugees.”

Whether we be conservative or liberal it is time to be in the streets demonstrating as legacy representatives of our now incompetent corrupt democratic republic run by outsiders, if these refugees that Obama created are allowed to resettle in the USA.

The NYC liberal elites that are behind amnesty, gun control, illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, and who run our nation, thrive on undercutting our average American masses and our national security so they can create anarchy.

Hopefully, we here in Arizona are going to be able to dump his boyfriend, Juan, this time around. I left that block blank last time. It didn’t work out. The DemocRATS reelected him.

Maybe someday the people of SC will get fed up with him and kick him out or office.

I’m guessing over half of South Carolinian’s are proud of Lindsey. They keep reelecting him.

Better let him back into the debates, before he really gets nasty!
