Connecticut Senator Blumenthal wants more Syrians here faster, proposes to eliminate some screening

Posted by Ann Corcoran on October 6, 2015

Colonizing Connecticut?

Update October 7th: Follow-up post to the revelation that CAIR is behind (literally) Blumenthal’s proposal to lessen security screening for Syrian refugees, go here.

***Update*** Who is that sinister-looking man over Blumenthal’s left shoulder. It is none other than the Executive Director of CAIR Connecticut. Thanks to Kyle for identifying him. You can bet his interest is not in saving persecuted Christians! See bio below.

Here is the brief story at WTNH News 8:

Blumenthal_Has_Plan_to_Help_Syrian_Refugees_1200x675_539015235515 Senator Blumenthal making his announcement. Who is that guy looming over his left shoulder, does anyone know? http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Blumenthal-Unveils-4-Point-Plan-to-Expedite-Strengthen-Refugee-Processing-330799512.html HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — All eyes are on the 4 million people who’ve fled a brutal civil war in Syria that’s been raging for four years. Several European countries are offering to take in many of the refugees. The United States has also offered to help by possibly taking in 10,000 people. Senator Richard Blumenthal wants to see the process sped up.

[….]

Currently, it takes 18 months to two years for a refugee to come to the United States because of the lengthy process that’s involved. Sen. Blumenthal will submit a four point plan later this week to the powers that be in Washington that will hopefully eliminate some of the red tape. He announced some of his plan Monday morning in Hartford. Some of the points include:

*Expansion of the ‘Priority 3″ program that allows refugees with relatives in the United States to apply directly to the United States government for screening and resettlement.

*Improve coordination to end the repeat security checks that expire while refugees are still being processed.

*Use of videoconferencing for security screenings to greatly reduce the need for expensive and logistically-difficult travel.

*Notification of families when some, but not all family members have been cleared to come to the U.S.

We mentioned the ‘expansion of P-3’ when we wrote about the Senate hearing last week. This must be vigorously opposed as P-3 fraud has been rampant over the years!

See our post on the 18 mayors telling Obama to bring 100,000 Syrians here. The mayor of Hartford is one of the 18. Also, see this post from a week ago where other Connecticut elected officials were out stumping for Syrians. Any connection to all the Muslim money flowing to Yale.

Connecticut you are in deep trouble!

***Update***

Dhaouadi was featured in countless local, national, and international media outlets including NPR, FOX News, and Democracy Now with Amy Goodman. During the summer, he runs a youth internship program during which high school and college students work on several projects ranging from preparing a toolkit on Islamic cultural competency for schools, to writing and publishing articles from a Muslim youth perspective in the local papers and publications.

Put them out on an island somewhere (Guantanamo, maybe?) and hold them there until an adequate job of vetting them may be done. Some may be winnowed out quite quickly (the Yazidi and Christians) and admitted to a restricted area within the US at first, to be dispersed later as needed. The genuine refugees among the Muslims would be admitted in very small increments, again to be held in segregated and restricted areas, until it was assured they could accept life in the US, and agree to abide by our laws and rules while guests of the United States, but NO provision for them to pursue a path to citizenship unless they apply according to existing protocol to become legal residents first.

Then there is another bunch, the Islamic jihadists, who should for NO reason and under NO circumstances be permitted to enter the US, but either detained indefinitely, as foreign combatants, or returned to their point of origin.

Or maybe transferred to Kalaupapa, a small unincorporated community on the island of Molokai, within Kalawao County in the US state of Hawaii. The village is the site of a former settlement for leprosy patients. That should put something of a scare into even the most fervent of Mujahideen. I expect few will accept this option.

Send them all to Southport. They can hang out at the Imus compound. I’m sure he and his neighbors would welcome them with open arms.
