Obama compares Syrian refugees to Pilgrims on the Mayflower in Thanksgiving address

'Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims - men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families,' Obama said in his address.

'People should remember that no refugee can enter our borders until they undergo the highest security checks of anyone traveling to the United States,' Obama said in his address.

Obama has vowed to veto the House refugee bill. But the White House has said it is open to working with lawmakers on tighter security measures for visitors from 38 countries who do not need a visa for short visits to the United States.

In his address, Obama quoted from letters he had received from Americans welcoming Syrian refugees. Urges America to show generosity to migrants fleeing the war-torn country

Obama compares Syrian refugees to Pilgrims arriving in America in 1620 Calls for Americans to welcome migrants fleeing for a better life in the US His address came after he reassured Americans over their security fears Said national security is 'on the case' as Americans fear Paris-style attacks

The President said those who came to America in 1620 were themselves fleeing persecution before quoting from citizens who said they were ready to accommodate refugees.

Obama's plan to accept 10,000 refugees from Syria became a lightning rod for political criticism after attacks, claimed by ISIS militants, killed 130 people in Paris two weeks ago. The United States is leading an international coalition fighting the group in Syria and Iraq.

Agreed.
Lately he has stated ISIS is not Islamic. Paris attack was a bump in the road. Global warming is causing terrorism. He’s show ISIS by attending a global warming meeting.

The man is completely insane and has to be off his meds.
I’m not just saying I think he;’s insane because I do not like him, but saying because I honestly think the man is plain nuts.

so are we supposed to go the same way as the Indians in his head?

Funny you should mention that as Obama rolls out his new immigration plan that takes away all Caucasians houses and belongings and moves them to reservations. Remember, the downfall of the Native Americans was a loose immigration policy and not securing the borders.

This Kenyan born ‘wimp’ wouldn't know a pilgrim if he seen one...who the heck cares what this POS thinks...I will be SO SO SO glad when him and his ‘wife’ are gone and we don't have to listen to anything he says...

I think him and Bill Clinton are going to get in a huge fight over who is going to run the NWO they think they are going to implant on the world, but I think people in the Middle East are getting pretty tired of all that is going on, and I think if Russia and Turkey doesn't play nice, there is going to come out two leaders of the world....Putin and Trump....the rest are going to hell in a hand basket....

“Invite a 25-year-old, single, Middle Eastern man to live in your guest room, honey. I dare you”.

Exactly! However, you can’t cure stupid and it sure seems to be epidemic.

Congress and the military had better boot him ASAP.
By summer, he will have turned this country into a chaotic shithole, declared martial law and claimed a third term..

obama is not insane, far from it. Our Traitor-in-Chief’s sole purpose is to advance the cause of islam by destroying our country. Why the republicans don’t do everything possible to stop him.......well that says volumns about the gop, which is utterly useless for the cause of freedom and this country.

Does that mean that Americans should celebrate the arrival of Islamic pilgrims by eating pork?

We could also try to convert them to be Christians like we did with the Indians.

No one has submitted any credible evidence that would be sufficient to convict His Arrogance of being “intelligent”.

Back in the day many refugees came to this country to make a contribution. My wife was born in a displaced persons camp in Passau Germany in 1948. Her parents were Ukrainian Nationals swept up by the Nazis during the war and forced to work for the Third Reich. Many of the Ukrainians in this camp were sent back to the Soviet Union where they disappeared in the wilds of Siberia. The Mennonite offered to sponsor their immigration to the US. There was no welfare or any help from the government. They succeeded as Americans. My wife was nationalized after 16 years in the US as were all the children. The Parents never became citizens. Who will sponsor these new refugees? I see few making the offer beyond the government.

"One came here to flee religious persecution, the other to persecute religious freedom."

Excellent!
