Imported Syrian Muslims coming now to a city near you

This is only the latest arrivals of Muslims. Syrians. The best part of the WND post is that bloggers will now be monitored so we can be guilty of “Islamophobia.” First we are bigots, racists, and now comes anti-Muslim. Well, yes. Exactly. So we get the gang bangers and who knows what from Mexico, let’s bring in the “refugees” from the Middle-East who we can be sure will not be vetted.

Recall this earlier post:

State Department Using ‘Diversity Visas’ to Encourage Immigration to U.S. from Terror-Ridden Yemen

The State Department has awarded 1,011 special “diversity visas” allowing Yemeni nationals to immigrate to the United States since 2000, the year 17 U.S. sailors were killed when the USS Cole was attacked by terrorists in the Yemeni port of Aden.

The “diversity visas” are designed to encourage immigration from countries that do not otherwise send significant numbers of immigrants to the United States.

But I digressed. Here we go:

A few congressmen are fighting to block the planned importation of thousands of Syrian refugees into American cities and towns, arguing that they present a grave security risk because many Syrians have ties to the Sunni rebel groups ISIS and al-Nusra Front.

WND last month uncovered a document authored by one of the federal government’s main resettlement contractors that detailed plans to counter the growing “backlash” that is occurring in many cities that would like to shut the refugee spigot off, or at least slow it down. The report recommended monitoring blogs by activists and turning in some to the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center which could then brand them as “anti-Muslim” or guilty of “Islamophobia.”

WND has compiled a complete list of cities (see chart below) that received Syrian refugees since Jan. 1. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has as many as 11,000 Syrians in a pipeline waiting for admission into the U.S., which is responsible for screening them for criminal and terrorist activity.

McCaul has tried to block the arrival of the Syrians based on testimony from FBI counter-terrorism experts. As chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, he held a hearing on the national security risks of the Syrian refugee program in February and has scheduled a second hearing for June 24. He’s also sent two letters to Obama, urging him not to let the U.N. refugee program become a “jihadist pipeline” into the United States.

Some of the questions Gowdy has pressed the State Department to answer are:

• Who makes the ultimate decision as to which cities get refugees from what countries?
• What variables are taken into consideration when distributing these refugees? Is it done, for instance, according to population density, geography, job and housing availability or availability of welfare benefits?
• What local officials are brought into the decision-making process and at what point?
• How are the other “stakeholders” chosen in the receiving communities?
• How are the financial and economic impacts of the refugees to taxpayer-funded budgets being measured in the various cities where they are sent?
