Syrian surge! ‘Refugees’ flood into U.S. at rate of 358 per week

WND:

A flood of Muslim refugees from Syria, an average of 358 per week to be exact, is expected to arrive in the United States between now and the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

The Obama administration has decided to implement a “surge” in Syrian refugees, fast-tracking the arrival of those fleeing civil war in that country to make good on its commitment of bringing 10,000 by the end of fiscal 2016.

The “surge” is needed because the administration has delivered only 1,411 in the first six-and-a-half months of the year.

The Obama administration’s scripted answer for anyone who questioned its ability to screen Syrian “refugees” was that they are the “most thoroughly vetted” of all immigrants, going through an arduous process that takes 18 to 24 months to complete.

But that process was taking longer than expected and making it impossible for Obama to make good on his promise to the United Nations to admit at least 10,000 Syrians in fiscal 2016.

To fulfill its promise, the administration has now decided to expedite the process, cutting the screening period from 18-24 months down to three months.

Administration officials have set up special screening centers in Jordan, where they will be interviewing potential Syrian refugees at a rate of 600 per day.

To realize the goal of 10,000 Syrian refugees coming to the U.S. by Sept. 30, the government will need to deliver 8,589 by that date, or an average of 358 per week.

As WND has previously reported, more than 98 percent of the Syrian “refugees” have been Sunni Muslims while only 1 percent have been Christians. Yet, it’s the Christians who are being systematically exterminated in what even the United Nations has termed a “genocide” by ISIS and other Sunni rebel groups operating in Syria and Iraq.

FBI Director James Comey has testified before Congress that even with the longer 18-24 months of vetting, it was impossible to verify the identities of the vast majority of Syrian refugees.

“Whenever unilateral political actions are taken to ‘speed up’ a complex program, which is already known to be fraught with uncertainty, it becomes virtually impossible for officials to conduct a reliable vetting process,” Philip Haney, a former Homeland Security investigator who retired last year, told WND. “And, the figure of (nearly) 9,000 is a ‘floor,’ not a final number.”

Several GOP congressmen held hearings and sent letters to Obama voicing their opposition to the Syrian refugee program. But in the end, Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., put together an omnibus spending bill that fully funded Obama’s expanded refugee program.

The program will bring 85,000 refugees to the U.S. from all countries in fiscal 2016, about half of them coming from Muslim-majority nations such as Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. The total is scheduled to increase again in fiscal 2017 to 100,000.
