Visiting refugee children at a shelter in Malaysia, President Obama said Saturday that America's leaders shouldn't fear young Syrians and others from war-torn nations seeking to emigrate to the U.S.
"American leadership is us caring about people who have been forgotten, or who have been discriminated against, or who have been tortured," Mr. Obama told reporters at the refugee center in Kuala Lumpur. "That's American leadership. That's when we're the shining light on the hill. Not when we respond on the basis of fear."
The president is embroiled in a long-distance battle with lawmakers in Washington, and with a majority of governors, over his plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees. A bipartisan majority of House lawmakers, concerned about the danger posed by the Islamic State, voted this week to delay the refugee program until the administration addresses security questions.
Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican and presidential candidate, said the refugees should be resettled in majority Muslim countries, and noted that the U.S. spends far more than other nations on humanitarian aid.
"I get tired of President Obama and Hillary Clinton lecture the American people that we are somehow ungenerous when we are providing for these people, but we don't want to risk the safety of our children here at home," Mr. Cruz said Friday at a campaign event.

He’s right in our faces and doing so without blinking. But then he’s doing everything he said he would do. And bring us along kicking and screaming just as Michele said they would do.
Our President goes to foreign lands to criticize America.
Such a low life.
It would be God's justice for his final year (let's hope) in office to be one of personal disgrace, fear, panic, sorrow, and hopelessness.
Indonesia.
Irony...wherest thy sting?
I venture to say that most of the refugees that come here appreciate America more than the average born-in-America American does. That’s because the latter take America’s freedoms and opportunities for granted and focus on and magnify our problems.
But there are extremely bad people that are trying to get into America now and we can’t distinguish them from the good ones.
Our best solution for the time being is certainly not what Obama wants to do.
Another day- another treasonous statement from Zero on foreign soil. Yet there are no impeachment proceedings.
Amen...It would be a most deserved event for him to leave office in disgrace.
So who wants to give all these snakes a good home? ~ GATSBY (Rowdy Conservative)
If you have a drivers license, use a credit card, make phone calls, have a home loan, bought a gun in the last 20 years, been in a hospital as an outpatient or in patient, they don’t have to work very hard.
Amen to that.
All of a sudden heâs worried about those who are being tortured, murdered and raped but hasnât cared all these years that Christians and others were being massacred.
When was his last visit to Walter Reed?..
In the meantime double-standards from the Left and MSM
while blaming Republicans for lack of 'Compassion' and'American values'
So are the parents of five servicemen:
2015 Chattanooga shootings
On July 16, 2015, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He first committed a drive-by shooting at a recruiting center, then traveled to a U.S. Navy Reserve center and continued firing, where he was killed by police in a gunfight. Four Marines died on the spot. A Navy Sailor, a Marine recruiter, and a police officer were wounded; the sailor died from his injuries two days later.
Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez[a] (September 5, 1990 â July 16, 2015), a resident of Hixson, Tennessee, was identified as the gunman.
Personal life
Abdulazeez, a naturalized American citizen, was also a Jordanian citizen born in Kuwait. However, according to Jordanian sources, he was a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship; his parents were self-described as “Palestinian”. He migrated to the U.S. with his family in 1996 and received citizenship as a minor in 2003 under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 when his parents became naturalized citizens themselves. During the Second Intifada, Abdulazeez, then fifteen, traveled with his father to Jamma’in, the village in Samaria where the father was born, with the goal of acquiring a Palestinian ID.
According to The Washington Post, both of Abdulazeez’s parents were self-described in their divorce proceedings “as natives of ‘the State of Palestine’”, and they “maintained a strict, conservative Muslim lifestyle.” The father had been placed on a watch-list and investigated some years ago “on suspicion of donating money to an organization suspected of being a terrorist front.”
No we must not.
Actually, Obozo is playing the role Jimmy Carter did during the Mariel boatlift.
Both Carter and now Obozo hated American and did what they could to damage it internally and world wide.

The exodus started to have negative political implications for U.S. president Jimmy Carter when it was discovered that a number of the refugees had been released from Cuban jails and mental health facilities. The Mariel boatlift was ended by mutual agreement between the two governments involved in late October 1980.
Thanks for reminding us about another Islamic going Jihadist and killing innocents, and nothing being done by our feds months later.
