We Welcome You With Open Arms

More than two million Syrians have fled their war-torn country, with many settling in nearby Lebanon and Jordan. Now, the US will open its doors to 2,000 of “the most vulnerable” Syrian refugees – as long as they pass a lengthy background screening.

[...]

The application process is expected to take months because of the State Department’s extensive background screenings. US officials will carefully select refugees who appear to have no ties to anyone with terrorist sympathies. Even though infants and young children are unlikely to be terrorists themselves, the concern is that they might have relatives in Al-Qaeda who would then have an easier chance of entering the US.

Why, in the name of Allah, would any Syrian want to live in the United States where they will be profiled and harassed, at the very least, just for the way they look? And the permission process is said to be estimated to take several months with no Syrian actually getting here "before well into 2014.”

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
