Glenn Beck Raising Money To Import Illegal [Christian] Syrian Refugees…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 11/17/15 | sundance

Posted on 11/17/2015 7:27:13 AM PST by St_Thomas_Aquinas

(Via MediaIte) […] Beck said that he had asked his audience to raise $10 million before Christmas to help take in Christian Syrian refugees. “Stop asking for permission!” he said. “Stop thinking we need permission… We will vet them ourselves. I have former CIA people that are going over and they’re vetting everybody right now. We can save more people by Christmas than Oscar Schindler saved, okay?”

Beck said if the State Department refused them entry he’d find them a way in the country, even if he was thrown in jail. “I know some bridges over a river in Texas that doesn’t seem to matter… I will so gladly grace a jail for a justice cause of saving people’s lives.”

“I don’t need your permission at all to do the right thing!” he said. “That’s who we need to be now. Forget about Washington; you don’t need permission to do the right thing.” (video of interview at link)

$12 million raised so far. Christians are vetted by getting in touch with bishops, priests and family. Syrian Christians are Catholic or Orthodox, AFAIK. Over a hundred have been rescued so far. I think Czechoslovakia has taken them thus far. But Beck is threatening to walk some across the US border.

Obama is not accepting Syrian Christians, AFAIK, speaking of religious tests

So what test is Beck going to use to ensure that they are really “Christian” refugees? Performing exorcisms, pressing a cross to their foreheads, giving them a BLT sandwich and seeing if they eat it? I would use a Muslim looking guy and have him sneak into their midst and have him shout, “Allah Ackbar” and see if they joined in then send them packing back overseas.

0 is currently applying a religious test to keep Syrian Christians out. Ones who are making it here somehow are being sent back.

Beck can buy some land in Turkey and settle the “Christians” there.

No one from Syria should get over here. We dont know whom any of them are well enough.

I’ve contributed to this effort. Beck is doing the right thing & doing it in the right way. These people are the ones truly in need of rescuing. They’ll be settled & helped through private charity & will never end up on the public dole, unlike the ones the President wants to bring in.

The article is from September. Listeners have donated over $12 million to date, and the first group of 100 refugees have been resettled in Czechoslovakia recently.

Yes, because the narrative of breaking the law to save innocent people is exactly what we want to craete.

Oh look, there’s 100 million hard working Christians in South America who want to come over to the US because their countries are piles of s***. Let’s have them swim across the river. And look at that evil Donald Trump, who wants to build a wall so Glenn Beck can’t smuggle in more Christians.

I will say, some of my closest friends over the years have been Syrian and Lebanese Christians - all good, Godly folk. But, that was then, this is now....

Beck’s being very open about his intent. I wonder how much attention it’s getting from the government.

And non-Chalcaedonian (Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch).

> Christians are vetted by getting in touch with bishops, priests and family

but what if ISIS sets up posers to fill all of the above roles? Its very common in debtor fraud. There are crime rings that go around buying vehicles with false identities that list mail drop or faux addresses that look real on paper but are vacant lots. The "buyers" also list references that are all fake thatnuse cell phones which answered by other members of the crime ring to pose as whomever they want them to be.

I agree with the sentiment here - the Syrian Christians are truly refugees fleeing violence and persecution. These are the people talked about on the Statue of Liberty:

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Yet they are truly being treated differently then the muslim "refugees". In fact, my perception, is that they are being treated more skeptically and harshly then any other group by this administration.

Unfortunately, as others have stated, it is very easy to hide a terrorist within this particular group of refugees and open ourselves up to attack. So what's the solution, the more and more I think about it, the more I think that creating a middle east safe zone for these people.

I'd like some assurances that the money is going where it is supposed to go. I do not find Beck to be all that trustworthy at this time.

In a sane world he wouldn't have to.

These are actual refugees facing a long slow extermination. 100 years ago Christians made up 40% of the total population of the middle east, today is somewhere south of 5%. Its a slow motion Holocaust no matter what words we use.

At least with middle eastern Christians they take care of their own, become productive Americans, and stand in opposition to further muslim encroachment.

Beck is a moron and a clown. He personally derailed the Tea Party movement with his absurd 9/12 rally. Yes, the problem with America is insufficient veneration of Martin Luther King. NOT!

You would think that our “Christian” president would be concerned about saving Christians. Instead he constantly refers to the “holy Koran” but never the Holy Bible. That tells me all I need to know.
