It should be noted that members of Obama's own administration have warned against ISIS embedded among refugees (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), and the Democrat's beloved Pope offers similar warnings (see HERE), and that ISIS leaders have claimed that thousands of extremists have been smuggled into Europe as refugees (see HERE), and ISIS or terrorist have actually been found among the refugees, even in the U.S. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE),

As the liberals ramp up their faux sanctimony about the Syrian refugee crisis (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), it is important for readers to know that this is blame-shifting at is worst and that things are almost the opposite from what is being suggested.
First, the meteoric rise of ISIS is in part due to the inaction of Obama, both in Iraq and Syria and the surrounding region. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE),
Here is a video of what several Mideastern pundits think of Obama's inaction: (see HERE)
Second, when Obama finally decided to get involved in the turmoil, his tactics inadvertently caused disgruntled civilians (oft the hapless victims of U.S. bombings) to sympathize with ISIS (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), though you may not have heard about this because it has been hushed by some in the mainstream press. (see HERE)
After all, the majority of the targeted and civilian victims of U.S. bombings in the region were Sunni Muslims (see HERE and HERE), in part because ISIS is made up of extremist Sunni Muslims.
Even still, this inadvertently exacerbated the ongoing conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims (see HERE), stoked centuries old religious wars, and unwittingly encouraged moderate Sunni's to align with ISIS. (see above)
If that wasn't enough, U.S. backed Kurdish rebels have been accused of "ethnic cleansing" of Sunni Muslims, including moderates. (see HERE)
Also, Russian backed Assad (Shia) forces have likewise targeted Sunni's, understandably engendering outrage among Sunni moderates. (see HERE and HERE and HERE)
In short, moderate Sunni's in Syria and elsewhere have been shoved between several large boulders and a hard place, with several of those boulders made in Obama's U.S.A.
Why is this relevant to the Syrian refugee crisis?
Well, a primary reason for Syrians displacement is their desperate need to get out from between the boulders and hard places. (see HERE) And, not surprising, the majority of the refugees are Sunni (see HERE and HERE), and the majority of refugees admitted to the U.S. have been Sunni Muslim, particularly after Oct. 1st. (see HERE and HERE)
What this means is that a large number of Syrians have become refugees in part because of Obama's failed policies, which likely doesn't sit well with those refugees, encouraging them to sympathize with ISIS--i.e. Obama's failed policies in the Mideast have, in reality, then, have been a recruitment tool for ISIS, even among the refugees. In fact, 13% of the refugees have admitted to being sympathetic to ISIS, and this prior to the Paris attacks and movement to block refugees in the u.s..(see HERE) So, Obama's recent threat about recruitment is a false and deflective projection.
Third, if resisting admittance of Syrian refugees to the U. S.. is supposedly a recruiting tool, then the Obama administration is guilty there as well since they only permitted a paltry 2,000 out of 4 million refugees over the last 4 years. (see HERE and HERE)
And, many liberal European countries have recently blocked Syrian refugees. (see HERE and HERE) Are they causing recruitment as well?
Fourth, it is not as if the U.S. hasn't provided considerable aid to the Syrian refugee crisis, to the tune of 2 to 4 billion dollars. (see HERE) I would think that the refugees would prefer funding that enables them to remain in areas better suited to their culture rather than shipped thousands of miles and across oceans to a foreign and relatively immoral and non-Muslim land.
Finally, with that having been said, here is what scholars and journalists assert as the real means behind ISIS and Islamic extremist recruitment. (see HERE and HERE) and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE):
Recruiters for ISIS and other extremist groups, themselves, provide their own take: (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
Here is an actual ISIS recruitment video. You will be interested to see which American is featured front-and-center: ISIS Recruitment Video
Following the bombings in Paris and the cautionary reaction by Republicans and Democrats (see HERE), the Liberal propaganda mill has whipped up the emotional blackmail and attempted to selectively smear Conservatives as anti-refugee, unconstitutional (as if Liberals care about the Constitution), and frightening to refugees who have already entered the states. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
However, for more than a quarter century, Republicans haven't balked at accepting refugees and asylees, and they have even actively brought them into the country. Over 3 million refugees from throughout the world have been accepted into the U.S. since 1975 (see HERE). About a half million were admitted while Bush was in office. (see HERE) More than 27,000 refugees from Iraq and Iran were admitted from 2006 to 2008. (ibid) About 70,000 were admitted in 2012 (only 31 Syrian refugees--see HERE) and also 2013 (only 36 Syrian refugees--see HERE). In 2014, 121,200 refugees were admitted. (approximately 30 Syrian refugees--see HERE), second only to Germany. (ibid) Thus far in 2015, there have been about 70,000 (or 57,300) refugees admitted, with 1,682 from Syria, and 10,900 from Iraq. (see HERE and HERE)
In fact, as pointed out in my previous post on this issue (see HERE), around 2000 Syrian refuges were admitted to the U.S. without opposition,, and various conservative organizations were active in bringing them here--though prior to 2015, President Obama only allowed about 100 Syrian refugees into the country. (see HERE) Was he being "shameful."
So, Republicans clearly aren't anti-refugee, but are reasonably concerned about the high risk of terrorists embedding themselves among the refugees and stealthily entering the country.
And, they aren't alone. As indicated above, there are not a few Democrats who are expressing caution, And, more than half the countries in the European Union refused or opted out of the EU asylum quotas.(see HERE and HERE and HERE) Also, the UK has blocked refugees since Sept 2015. (see HERE)
Are they "anti-refugee" and "shameful" and deserving of ridicule?
Of course not. The President and his Liberal cohorts are playing politics with make-believe.
Besides, no one has objected to the $4.5 billion in U.S. aid to the Syrian refugees. (see HERE)
Here is a graph of refuges admitted over the years:
Here is a proportional map of the states in which those refugees have settled--note how they are congregated in Conservative "fl:y-over" country, the Inter-mountain West.
Here is one source for how many Syrian refugees have been admitted in the U.S. since 2011 (it differs somewhat from what I quoted earlier, but not significantly):
Here is a map of where Syrian refugees have already been place in the U.S.
Here is where future Syrian Refugees are likely to be placed
Obama falsely insinuates that people (Republicans) who are reticent about taking in more Syrian refugees, are scared of widows and 3-year-olds. (see HERE and HERE)
Ironically,
If the refugees were only widows and 3-year-olds, do you really think that people would be concerned and object?
Actually, prior to the Paris attacks, over 2,200 Syrian refugees were accepted into the U.S. without concern. (see HERE)
In fact, one of the Republicans that liberals hate most, began months prior to the Paris attacks mobilizing to accept Syrian refugees. (see HERE and HERE and HERE)
Here is the real "Trojan Horse" concern expressed by Republicans as well as some Democrats. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), which is similar to expressed by European liberals (see HERE)
The fact that members of Obama's own administration warned against ISIS embedded among refugees (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), and the Democrat's beloved Pope offers similar warnings (see HERE), and that ISIS leaders have claimed that thousands of extremists have been smuggled into Europe as refugees (see HERE), and ISIS or terrorist have actually been found among the refugees, even in the U.S. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), and 13% of refugees support ISIS (see HERE), should provide a clue, though certain liberal publication pretend it is a lie. (see HERE)
Did you know that the Syrian refugee problem has been ongoing since 2011? (see HERE and HERE)
Elizabeth Warren: pretended to be native American (see HERE) She also pretends to be a spokeswoman for the working class, against the 1%, but turns out she's a 1%er, herself. (see HERE)
Shaun King: Pretends to be African American, and ironic leader of BlackLivesMatter. He fabricated the claim that he was the victim of a racially-motivated "hate crime." (see HERE and HERE and HERE)
Raechel Dolezal was President of the NAACP Chapter in Spokane, WA, claimed to have been born a poor black child. (see HERE and HERE and HERE)
Johnathan Butler, pretended to have grown up oppressed, though his parents were 1%ers.(see HERE and HERE) He also falsified key claims against school President. (see HERE)
Keely Mullen: Leader of Million Student March. She claims her family is "working class" that is "already on numerous forms of government assistance, and is basically scraping by in order to get me through college." (see video below) This is a bold-face lie. (see HERE and HERE)
if you are wondering why there has been a rash of illegitimate protests, one need only look atop the Democrat party (see HERE), and the money guy funding the party and other movements to stir up social unrest. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
Here is another fake drama. (See HERE) And, who doubted that the Ferguson riots were about alleged injustice (see HERE and HERE):
Kind of makes me yearn for the antics of the seemingly deceased #Occupy movement. (see HERE)
The counterfeit protests aren't just political in nature. Some are religious. (see HERE)
There is also this--a blog, in and of itself:
Here is one of the more ironic examples (see HERE):
Of course I am joking somewhat, though I believe liberals are relatively clueless when it comes to the enormous costs of their many so-called social justice programs.(see HERE and HERE and HERE )
Here are a few handouts promised during the first Democrat Presidential debate of 2015:
Even when they repeat the mantra about the rich paying for everything (see HERE)...
... their numbers don't come close to adding up. (see HERE and HERE),
See also the comments of this graduate student at one of the prestigious socialist indoctrination centers.
:
It isn't just the numbers not adding up about which they lack a clue, but liberals are also oblivious to the destructive effects of dependency that is at the very heart of their socialist justice movements
(see HERE)
Bernie actually replied, "No I didn't." (see text of debate HERE)
However, one can easily imagine Bernie, along with most of the audience saying to themselves, "What integrity." (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
