Did anyone think the U.S would take substantial amount of Syrians.

Why is Obama so against letting Christians in? My guess is he thinks they'll probably be republicans.

[Nick Young]

thank you House

Let Merkel and Hollande and whoever the Merkel Jr. in charge of Austria is deal with this.

For f*cks sake Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan and Saudi should be forced to take these refugees ahead of Europeans or Americans.

Time to embargo the U.S., zero moral

Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Emirates never signed the refugee act.

ug, of course they didn't

Israel atleast should take in the Syrian Christians that Obama is refusing, and Turkey should take the rest. Maybe that will give the Turks some incentive to stop helping ISIS out.

This will be vetoed, and the GOP knows it. It's a show vote, to make Dems vote No and to make Obama veto it. The Republicans are shamelessly exploiting the Paris attacks for partisan purposes. They are trying to scare the US public, and it's working.

There are photos of the French having coffee at cafes outdoors in Paris because the French are determined to not let the terrorists change their lifestyle. The French are brave, the Republicans look like cowards by comparison.

Rich and prosperous countries like that should not be allowed to say no.


It should be an expectation, as it is everywhere else.

How is Saudi Arabia gonna agree to build Mosques in France/Germany... but they won't take in any refugees themselves??

the gulf states should definitely be doing a lot more, but you cant group jordan in with them. jordan is currently housing 1.4 mil syrian refugees, which is an absolute shitload for a country of 6 million. jordan has more syrian refugees than all of western europe combined.

Don't get it twisted. They LOVE this. Muslims flooding into Europe is their dream come true. Their prime agenda is to now pay for the most radical jihad promoting mosques to be built in Europe to turn as many Muslims in Europe into Islamists.

Countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar are NOT our friends. If we had our heads screwed on straight, we'd recognize that we don't have a Muslim problem. We have a Saudi Arabia problem.

[Nick Young]

Hopefully the American alliance with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries is a long con and we are setting them up for a Red Wedding level betrayal. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Lebanon with 4.5 million people has already taken in well over 1.5 million people. Israel should lend a hand.
