How the Obama plans to welcome 10,000 Syrian refugees
2015-09-12
[Bus Insider] Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama has promised that the United States will admit 10,000 Syrian refugees for resettlement over the next 12 months, after criticism that America is not doing enough.

But this would represent a huge increase in the number of families arriving on US soil. In the more that four years since fighting erupted barely 1,800 Syrians have been welcomed here.

Meanwhile, obstacles have stretched the approval process for those already registered and vetted by the UN's refugee agency to almost two years per case.

So how will Obama's promise be delivered and what hurdles are keeping the refugees from arriving sooner?

#5  I am willing, grudgingly, to accept Obama's gesture, with the proviso that all migrants accepted under his plan be settled in Marin County.

Not thinking right. Fly them all into Tijuana with border jumping money. Have the BATF oversee the area, give the local honchos firearms in exchange price controls on trafficking fees. Blame any deaths on racism, firearm related on 2nd Ammendment. Sanctuary in California.

Even if the tyrant means 10,000 per month for 12 months, with only 200 hordes per flight, that is a bit less than only two flights per day.

Everyone really excited about Little Aleppo? I know I am.

#2  And each and every one of the 10,000 will have "coattails." Wonder what the final tally will be?
