Secretary of State John Kerry said today, the Obama administration will increase the number of refugees the United States is willing to accept to 100,000 annually in 2017, a significant surge.
But this is not a good thing for America.
All but a handful of developed countries are impoverished, third-world, Hell-holes. Some of them made worse because of US intervention and meddling.
Once we open the floodgates to America for these folks (who will all have stories of suffering and persecution), where will it end?
There are literally hundreds of millions of people who would love to come here and if all they have to do is speak the word "asylum" to make it happen, they will do it.
Every one of them will claim they are refugees... even though most will be coming merely to take advantage of our resources, prosperity, and generosity.
Kerry claims that background checks will be done on all of them, but that is virtually impossible.
Notice the current administration is saying that the largest increase of accepted refugees will happen by 2017... right after they have conveniently left office? So they won't have to deal with the aftermath, which would be very straining on America..
We already accept more than a million legal immigrants every year, we have 30 million illegal immigrants... and now we are going to start accepting hundreds of thousands of refugees on top of that as well?
In a few more years our nation will be unrecognizable.
