In 2015, Christians and other non-Muslims are being persecuted ... and so we are admitting Muslims?
In 1939 the U.S. did not want to allow Jews into the country. Just providing some history.

ISIS is persecuting Muslims too, including any Shia.
Yet most are not direct refugees from Syria. In fact most have resettled in surrounding countries and only now want to go to Europe or the US "for a better life". They aren't refugees (they lost that status when the resettled outside of Syria), they're just immigrants
Are you really arguing that someone that has been displaced to a refugee camp is not a refugee?
He's right. As he said, many aren't coming from camps, they had already settled and are on the move again. A lot are better characterized as colonists as they're on the move to spread Islam. And of course some are ISIS.
The people that come here as refugees, come through the UNHCR. And the vast majority of the UNHCR's work is concentrated on the overflowing camps in places like Lebanon and Turkey.
Even many of those aren't recent arrivals due to ISIS. They have been there for years and years. They aren't refugees from war. They just bailed on Syria.

Yes, many of the them are displaced because of the Syrian civil war, which has been going on for the last half decade.

Most aren't even from Syria. They're coming from Egypt, Jordan, etc. It's the Ramn Emaual idea of not letting a crisis go to waste.

The refugees are a problem of Obama's and Hillary!->'s making.

I told y'all several years ago that arming islamofacists was a bad idea...and not surprisingly, was shouted down. ISIS born.
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!
