A renewed cry in the GOP primary: Shut the door on Syrian refugees
Washington Post ^ | 11/15/2015 | By David Weigel

Posted on 11/15/2015 11:45:51 AM PST by SeekAndFind

In Orlando, where he joined most of the Republican presidential field at a three-day "Sunshine Summit," Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) got his biggest applause when he praised someone else's work. Jindal praised French President Francois Hollande for acting swiftly after Islamic terrorists massacred more than 100 people in Paris.

"He's closed the borders," said Jindal. "It is time to close our borders and keep our people safe from these radical, evil terrorists."

The audience's loud approval was a sort of vindication for Gov. Jindal. Earlier this year, after a trip to London, he had been criticized for saying that Muslims had turned some European ghettos into "no-go zones."

Even London's conservative mayor Boris Johnson denounced Jindal. Nearly a year later, he was joining a chorus of Republicans calling for a halt to refugees from Syria and tighter control over who can enter the United States.

As the GOP candidates learned more about the attacks, their statements evolved from rote "thoughts and prayers" for Paris to an overall policy of retrenchment. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who is competing for some of the same social conservative voters as Jindal, released a four-point Paris response plan that started with "closing our borders" and continued with "an immediate moratorium on admission to those persons from countries where there is strong presence of ISIS or Al-Qaeda." In a later CNN interview, Huckabee brushed aside the idea that he was being extreme.

It was those “refugees” who did the killing in Paris, idiot.

This Post article is meant to rally Democrats to remember that they are suppose to hate us on the Right much more than they should want to save themselves and our country from ISIS and from objecting to the Obama resettlement ploy to strike us down, in the same way as Paris.

Not one Syrian should be admitted. They are not refugees. If they were, they would have headed for a Muslim country. As for claiming to be Christians, anybody can lie about it.

Not only should we keep these Syrians out. We need to protect our borders, start deporting illegals, and cut off immigrantion from countries hostile to us.

There is only one Republican candidate who said “I’ll bomb the **** outta them”.

He is the only Republican candidate to vote for.

To drag Hillary across the line in the general election there will be an all out war launched by the media Left to redirect the attention of lemming Democrat voters from self preservation from ISIS, and turn it into self-preservation from those evil Republicans— to not look at the coming threat to our shores, but to look at those crazy Republicans and their candidates who want to start WW III.

What else can the Left do, actually? They can not win this thing with bashfulness and pacifism this time, not with Obama unloading the enemy by the thousands onto our shores. They have got to shoot at Republicans loud enough to keep their base looking over here and not over there, in order to have a prayer of getting Hillary into the presidency.

The world is upside down.

What about Syrian refugees who are Christians.
Exclude them too?

Anybody can claim to be Christian. There is no way to verify this. Being Christian does not mean they can fit into our society. We have seen that with the alleged Christian Somalis.

During his seven years in office, Obama has not been able to fulfill his promise of closing Guantanamo since not a single area of the country has been willing to take in Guantanamo’s prisoners, even though they would be housed in maximum-security prisons.

Yet now, even after the Paris attacks have proven that Syrian refugee groups contain murderous jihadi terrorists, the Obama administration believes it can bring thousands of these people into our country with no opposition, even though the refugees would be free to roam the country?!

Of course, the refugees would probably congregate in sanctuary cities where they would be welcomed with open arms, at least until they blew those places up.

“A renewed cry in the GOP primary: Shut the door on Syrian refugees”

Amen. Suspend ALL immigration. Seal the borders. Begin deporting all illegals and overstayers. Permanently shut down Muslim immigration. Islam is the enemy. History proves Muslims are not immigrants, they are invaders.

White House Petition: Moratorium on all Middle Eastern refugee resettlement to America; sign it!

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2015/11/15/white-house-petition-moratorium-on-all-middle-eastern-refugee-resettlement-to-america-sign-it/

Gates of Vienna reports that a petition in the wake of the Paris terror attack seeking the halt of all refugee resettlement to the US from Middle Eastern countries has been placed on the White House We the People petition site. Please go to Gov, see comments and follow links!

And, dont forget that a sure fire way to stop the influx is to persuade Congress to use the POWER OF THE PURSE. Go here for our post yesterday on that effort. We must make our voices heard in a big way!

Sign the petition!

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/place-moratorium-all-refugee-resettlement-middle-east-wake-paris-terror-attacks

And, then call your members of Congress and US Senators and tell them to pull the plug on the funding! (Remember that US Senators Patrick Leahy and Lindsey Graham are pushing for $1 billion to be ADDED to a funding package to reach the Senate floor on or before December 11th to increase the Syrian flow to America).

Angry about Paris? Time for a moratorium on Muslim migration to America? Start with cutting the funds for it!
