10K Sunni Syrians Coming To A Town Near You
Obama is close to accomplishing his goal of the U.S. taking in 10,000 Sunni Syrian refuges in 2016. In connection, he'll make an appearance at the United Nations soon to encourage other world leaders to increase their numbers also.
With the influx of these refuges will come added economic stress to our system along with a need to increase budgets to help transition and support these refuges. If you've read about this situation, you'll know (and I've written about this before) and wonder why the wealthy Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. aren't taking in anywhere NEAR the amount of refugees we and the Europeans are when they could well afford to. Something to think about ...
In addition, according to the WSJ, we 've recently learned that the administration, back in January, had forked over $400 million in CASH to Iran in order to free hostages via an unmarked cargo plane. The payment was made in foreign currency as it is ILLEGAL under U.S. laws to deal with Iran in dollars.
Keep in mind that Iran still faces sanctions limiting its access to global markets yet the president can, in a clandestine manner or under the table so to speak, bypass law anyone else would have been thrown into prison for.
Obama in response to the above has made light of the situation. He said in a nutshell that it was NOT payment for hostages. That it was just a coincidence that money was exchanged the day the hostages were set free. And last, that nothing nefarious has happened.
According to a NYT's article "Mr. Obama said the payment was part of a decades-old dispute with Iran that had been litigated before an international tribunal, adding that his administration publicly disclosed the agreement in January."
.
Okay, what decades old dispute? Give us some details.
Keep in mind that in addition to all of the above, we have recently lifted $100 billion in Sanctions to Iran as part of the Iran deal made with 6 other nations.
Bottom line.
When you think about all of the above ... the money and deals the Obama Administration has made with Iran and accepting Syrian refuges, the U.S. does NOT benefit in any way, shape or form that I can see or think of.
Why is that? Why does it seem that at every turn the president continues to make decisions that hurt rather than help the U.S.?
Oh, one last thought. While making all of the said deals and encouraging Syrian and Middle East refuges, Mr. Obama continues to make soaring speeches about how we'll defeat ISIS and other terrorist groups on a regular basis.
How can that happen if we continue to basically fund these middle eastern countries who support and/or sponsor terrorism?
What's wrong with this picture???
