Obama Initiates Importation Of 60,000 Muslims From Syria To The U.S. Despite immense security risks, a group of Senate Democrats is pushing the Obama administration to allow a minimum of 65,000 Syrian refugees inside of the United States. While the United States is the largest donor of humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees, we must also dramatically increase the number of Syrian refugees that we accept for resettlement, the group of lawmakers announced on Thursday in a letter. The letter also commented that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is seeking to resettle 130,000 refugees over the next two years. He has also submitted more than 12,000 resettlement cases to America for consideration. 700 of those applications have been acceptedsomething the group is calling an unacceptably low number. Following the international communitys tragic failure to shelter Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi genocide, the United States played a leadership role in establishing the international legal regime for the protection of refugees, they continued. In keeping with this history, we urge your Administration to work to accept at least 50 percent of Syrian refugees whom UNHCR is seeking to resettle, consistent with our nations traditional practice under both Republican and Democratic presidents. While that argument appears to be a strong one, the circumstances are quite different than they were during Nazi Germany, and it needs to be considered whether the United States really wants to become the go-to for harboring refugees. What do you think? Is this just too dangerous at this time?
