Dems are bringing 321 Syrian refugees to replace American Citizens and creating a Sharia Zone in WV
- Thread starter WVU82
- Start date
WE allowed AOC to be seated in Congress, can't say a stupid muslim isn't entitled to the same spot.
I don't think he was the only one to do it. It's been going on for awhile.I believe that immigration from Somalia was under 10 last year. That's a great start.
Think any of them Sharia people could be a good point guard ?
Could this new law be more conflicted than this freaking mess we have ? Be a little Epicurean, it's only for 12 years. Probably a lot less for me and a lot of others on here. If the young people want it , let them learn while gnawing on a spud, it'll sink in .
Are these the 300 they're bringing? Who are the 300 being replaced? If the Kardashians are among the 300 being replaced, I may not have a problem with this.

Of the more than 10,000 Syrian refugees placed in the United States this fiscal year, just five were resettled in West Virginia, but efforts persist to make the state a haven for Syrians fleeing the carnage of civil war in their country.
Charleston is still in the running to become one of the Episcopal Migration Ministries “resettlement communities.” The resettlement agency has 30 similar communities throughout the United States where local organizations assist the refugees with translation, finding work and health care, getting to know their community and other services.
Last September, President Barack Obama announced plans to accept the 10,000 refugees into the United States during the fiscal year, a six-fold increase from the previous year.
Earlier this week, his administration announced that it had reached its goal. In a statement, National Security Adviser Susan Rice thanked “the many generous communities throughout our country that have continued to open their arms to these new neighbors, demonstrating the values that have made our nation great.”
“While refugee admissions are only a small part of our broader humanitarian efforts in Syria and the region,” she said, “the president understood the important message this decision would send, not just to the Syrian people, but to the broader international community.”
Millions have been displaced by the ongoing devastation in Syria. Al Jazeera reported in April that the United Nations special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, estimated that 400,000 people had been killed during the previous five years of civil war.
In November 2015, Catholic Charities of West Virginia, which, for 30 years, has assisted in resettlement of refugees, including Syrians, told the Gazette-Mail it had told the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops that it had the capacity to help resettle 100 Syrian refugees. Catholic Charities’ Migration and Refugee Services Division typically helps resettle about 50 refugees per year, but it anticipated a greater need because of the crisis in Syria.
Patti Phillips, director of development and marketing for the nonprofit, said this week that, during the fiscal year, just a handful of Syrian refugees — a family of five — were placed in West Virginia. During the 2015-16 fiscal year, about 30 total refugees arrived in the state. Phillips said Catholic Charities only places refugees in West Virginia who have pre-existing ties to family or friends in the area.
Danna Van Brandt, public diplomacy and public affairs adviser for the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, provided a statement from Barbara Day, domestic-resettlement section chief for the same bureau. Day said the State Department’s placement plan for refugees in West Virginia in fiscal year 2016 included up to 50 refugees from around the world and was “formulated in partnership with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Charities of West Virginia.”
“Refugees are placed in West Virginia when they have family or personal ties in the state,” Day said. “Being resettled in a place where a refugee has personal ties is a crucial way to ease a refugee’s transition into life in the United States.”
She didn’t directly answer whether they determined West Virginia didn’t have enough people with family or personal ties to Syrians to accommodate 100 refugees.
In May, Episcopal Migration Ministries sent an employee and consultant to Charleston to learn more about the city, in hopes of establishing the city as a resettlement community. If Charleston is selected, a local organization potentially would assist in resettling 100 to 150 refugees each year in Charleston.

Syrian refugees are not automatically a bad thing. A lot of syrian refugees are Christian.
The ones who weren’t victims to religious cleansing.
And seriously, could you imagine being from Syria and then moving to Charleston. Talk about a culture shock.
I lnow some syrian immigrants in Charleston. Fine Christian people. Some of the finest people Ive known. The run a successful pizza chain. I worked weekends for them during college.
