    Kindly requesting pictures of boutons in his basement with his adopted Syrian refugee family

    Texas leads the way




    The White House announced Thursday it would take in as many as 10,000 Syrian refugees next year in the wake of growing concern in Europe over the flood of migrants fleeing the Middle East.
    Since the Syrian Civil War began in March 2011, 1,584 refugees have been relocated in the U.S., the majority of whom have moved to Texas (180), California (171), Michigan (159), Illinois (132), Arizona (107) and Florida (97). Thirty other states have absorbed the rest, according to numbers compiled by the State Department.
    In the U.S., a number of factors go into where refugees are moved, says Sarah Margon, Washington Director of Human Rights Watch. Refugees are relocated through negotiations between the federal government and non-governmental organizations called VOLAGs (voluntary agencies), which contract with the State Department. Those NGOs help determine which communities are right for relocation based on factors like housing availability. At the same time, refugees can also indicate if they have family in the U.S. and can try to be reunited with relatives, which can help direct where they’re relocated.
    Refugee communities take root in certain cities for a number of reasons. Minneapolis, for example, is home to a large Somali population that began moving to the area in the early 1990s during the Somali civil war. A sizable Hmong population relocated in Wisconsin after fleeing Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. One of the largest waves of refugees ever to make it to the U.S. were the Vietnamese “boat people,” who fled Vietnam in the late 1970s and largely settled in California

    The states that have taken in the most Syrian refugees are sizable and can handle a bigger influx of people looking to resettle. California has historically taken in large numbers of refugees, and Texas—despite the perception of being anti-immigrant—has actually led the U.S. in refugee resettlement over the last four years. Some areas already have communities with a long-established Middle Eastern presence. Dearborn, Mich., for example, has a large Arab-American population that stretches back to the late 19th century, and the state has continued taking in refugees from war-torn Arab countries over the last decade. Margon says that any new influx of Syrian refugees will likely look to states that already have significant Middle Eastern populations.

    I've been playing the knockout game on every mud on sight. I've knocked out 73 so far and counting. Can't wait to get back to Texas to up my count. Man woman or teen above the age of 12 is fair game to me.

    My favorite moment was when I knocked out a whole Mudslime family at a gas station. Walked up and knocked momma clean out of her rag on her head, dad got mad so I dropped him next, then teenage son, then the daughter. That's better than the treatment they give Christians so I don't feel bad.

    TX libs didn't elect dubya and head.

    The TX Christ-like Bible humpers, gun fellators, macho wannabe cowboys, rednecks, bubbas, the "Repug base" should be first in line to take care of the Repug refugees.

    If Obama hadn't been such a pussy on the Syria "red line" there wouldn't be a Syrian refugee crisis.

    the only reason germany is taking in 800k per year, is to restock its workforce for the next 5-10 yrs when around 15m ppl will be joining the baby boomers lists, they will need more young ppl working and funding that pension...

    why doesnt america just allow s register for tax purposes and ? contribute to society and pay taxes with 1 condition, cant access welfare....
    Why not make Germans proud again and incentivize them to have kids instead of replacing them? They teach them to hate themselves from birth because Muh six million and promote all sorts of degeneracy and when the nation starts dying they propose to being in mud s as a replacement? It's a crime what they are doing. I'd rather eat dog food and be poor than import mud s.

    I seem to recall you wanting to stay the duck out of the hole that is the ME. Now, in hindsight, we should have bombed the duck out of the Assad regime? And how exactly would that have prevented the Syrian refugee crisis?

    At the time there was probably a deal to be done with Turkey. Problem was figuring out how to broker a Turkey/Kurd/UN/US alliance. Kurds were doing the fighting against ISIS for the US and Turkey doesn't like the Kurds. Too later now.

    "But almost from the start, Assad was marked by the George W. Bush administration for “regime change.” Then, in the early years of Barack Obama’s presidency, there were some attempts at diplomatic engagement, but shortly after a civil conflict broke out in 2011, the legacy of official U.S. hostility toward Syria set in motion Washington’s disastrous confrontation with Assad which continues to this day.

    Thus, the history of the Bush administration’s approach toward Syria is important to understand. Shortly after 9/11, former NATO Commander Wesley Clark learned from a Pentagon source that Syria was on the same hit list as Iraq. As Clark recalled, the Bush administration “wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control.

    Sure enough, in a May 2002 speech led “Beyond the Axis of Evil,” Under Secretary of State John Bolton named Syria as one of a handful of “rogue states” along with Iraq that “can expect to become our targets.” Assad’s conciliatory and cooperative gestures were brushed aside.

    The Assad regime received no credit from President Bush or Vice President Cheney for becoming what scholar Kilic Bugra Kanat has calledone of the CIA’s most effective intelligence allies in the fight against terrorism.”

    Not only did the regime provide life-saving intelligence on planned al-Qaeda attacks, it did the CIA’s dirty work of interrogating terrorism suspects “rendered” by the United States from Afghanistan and other theaters.

    Syria’s opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its suspected involvement in the February 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri deepened the administration’s hostility toward Damascus.

    Covertly, Washington began collaborating with Saudi Arabia to back Islamist opposition groups including the Muslim Brotherhood, according to journalist Seymour Hersh. One key beneficiary was said to be Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian vice president who defected to the West in 2005. In March 2006, Khaddam joined with the chief of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood to create the National Salvation Front, with the goal of ousting Assad.

    Thanks to Wikileaks, we know that key Lebanese politicians, acting in concert with Saudi leaders, urged Washington to support Khaddam as a tactic to accomplish “complete regime change in Syria” and to address “the bigger problem” of Iran."

    For you totally biased, deaf rightwingnut dubya suckers, the Syrian MESS was started and fanned by the your adored Repugs, long before they retired wealthily an dumped it on Obama. Thanks, Repugs!
