Obama Still Pushing Refugees After Brussels Attacks
Defying common sense.
Despite the attacks in Brussels just days ago, Obama is still pushing for the U.S. to accept thousands of refugees from Syria and other countries.
In his four minute weekly address which you can watch below, Obama spends the first two and a half minutes talking about the Brussels attack and his efforts to defeat ISIS. He uses the remaining time to argue that if we don’t accept refugees, the terrorists have somehow won.
ISIS has vowed to infiltrate the refugee population in order to commit further acts of terror and may have already done so in Paris but Obama refuses to let go of this issue.
Here’s a partial transcript from the FOX News Insider:
Obama Calls for More ‘Openness to Refugees’ After Brussels Terror Attacks
President Obama is calling for more openness to refugees in the aftermath of the Brussels terror attacks, urging Americans to continue leading by “example” when it comes to immigration policy.
“As we move forward in this fight, we have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, and our counterterrorism work, and our diplomacy. And that’s the power of our example,” the president said in his weekly address on Saturday.
“Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL’s violence, our determination to win the battle against ISIL’s hateful and violent propaganda, a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause.”

You don’t have to be a national security expert to see the flaws in Obama’s argument. It simply defies common sense and makes people question Obama’s intentions.
Keith Koffler of the White House Dossier blog makes the point well:
Obama Fights ISIS – by Letting ISIS In
President Obama wants to protect the United States from ISIS by taking measures that could — yes — allow more ISIS operatives into the United States.
In his weekly address Saturday, Obama suggested his policy of settling Syrian refugees in the United States could combat ISIS by giving the U.S. propaganda points for showing how much it cares. But his plan ignores that accepting Syrian refugees risks bringing into the country bad guys posing as needy migrants…
Obama plans to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees during the current fiscal year, which ends October 1 — and even more during fiscal year 2017.
Meantime, Europe, which has welcomed Syrian refugees with far more open arms — perhaps 1 million have entered in the last five years — is finding its empathy reciprocated with bombings and terrorism committed and planned in part by ISIS members who slipped into the European Union along with legitimate Syrian refugees.
The American people are extremely generous to people in need. Opposition to accepting more refugees has nothing to do with a lack of humanitarianism. It’s about self preservation.

There are tens of thousands of Christian Syrians, expressly and cruelly persecuted for their religious beliefs, who are refugees and need a new place to live. Sadly, they won’t be able to go back home any time…
…oh, wait, those aren’t the refugees Obama means.
From his opening sentence about “Our hearts are with…” after the optics of the magic tango in Argentina, that was what can only be described as a truly barf-worthy set of lies and anti-American clap-trap.
You can only have one A. A free and open society safe from moslem terror.
B. Moslems, especially rapefugees.
There is no option C.
Today Germany began segregating some of its train service by sex and age with women and children getting a separate car sandwiched between two ‘quiet cars’ and directly next to the train police/security office. They do not admit it is because the rash of sexual assaults and rapes that have occurred.
Two choices only.
Refugees from ANY country will be taught 1)capital letter “D”, and 2)recognition of the word “Democrat”. When they vote, which they will, they will insure Left-Wing Rule forevermore. How sad for America.
Immigrants from any other country by an large do not have the understanding of American society or history of Anglo-Saxon common law to understand why Republicans are the only ‘mainstream’ choice. The only hope for an American future.
Democrats are a coalition of the fringes, people who are for whatever reason out of the American mainstream. They could be socialists, SJWs, minorities with a long resentment against the ‘white’ mainstream, perverts, etc. Democrats pander to them all and since they are master panderers nobody can offer more of other people’s money while simultaneously never delivering to the people who really need it.
All immigrants reliably vote left as a group forever. Yet the republican elites tell us we need to allow illegals to remain and encourage more to come because they are natural republicans. They are liars who will sell out for a mess of pottage. Besides, GOPe are really just half of the stupid/evil party. If America 2.0 looks like a Latin American country they’ll still do fine in their gated communities or isolated suburbs where the only immigrants are washing their cars or their kids’ nannies.
SJWs always double down on their mistakes
Common sense has nothing to do with it. Obama is purposely importing terror into this country. Why? Because it’s “fair.”
I agree that obama is bringing terror intentionally, but only because it furthers his goal of inflicting the maximum destruction on America that he can in his remaining time in office.
Obama’s actions make sense to me if I consider that he is supporting an invasion of the USA by an enemy. What oath of office?
Here’s the question Obama needs to answer: How does importing Middle East Muslims improve any American’s life?
The pro immigration crowd typically talks about how different America is from Europe in that the Muslims we import want to be Americans and assimilate into American society. If this is true, then why do 90% of them collect food stamps and over 60% get “cash welfare”, according to data published by Senator Session’s office last year? Why are we importing these people so they can live off of money the government steals from productive Americans?

While I get your rhetorical point, it misses the fact that obama does not need to answer anyone’s questions.
Sure, A country that is comprised of a population that overwhelmingly opposes both our government and our way of life has a civil war and the far-leftist politicians, far-leftist media and far-leftist academic elite feel it is a great idea to bring all warring sides without the ability of background checks in numbers that are terrifying. What could go wrong?
Has Obama ever offered a demographic sketch of the typical terrorist? What signs should trigger caution or at least a second glance?
Yes, the feds did issue an outline of what to look for, Christian, white, male, veteran, believes in the Second Amendment, believes in a Constitutional form of government, distrusts the feds, anti abortion. There were a couple of other descriptors but you get the gist.
This only looks like he’s defying common sense if you assume he has America’s best interests at heart. If you work off the assumption he’s a crypto-Muslim, socialist, authoritarian, who hates the American people and way of life everything he does makes sense.
Combined with Obama’s pro-choice religion, this is a mass exodus with a motive. Notwithstanding other opportunities and consequences of abandoning people, progressive wars, regime changes without consensus, etc.
He’s pushing hard to establish a Dodo Dynasty. I wonder if the original dodos were given a second chance to reconsider their choice.
