[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be THRILLED to allocate additional funds and programs to the homeless in the US to help them get back on their feet as well as help refugees.  OP are you sure you want to raise taxes and add programs to help the homeless?  [/quote]

Absolutely! I want to give the $64,000 to pie homeless and to our vets that are homeless and poor![/quote]

There is a lot of funding for the homeless, especially in our area as well as vets.  There are not a huge amount of vets that are truly homeless and most is due to mental health issues (and often they barely served any actual time) so the bigger issue (same for the homeless) is addressing the mental health issues.  You can give someone a home, food, medical care but in less they are able to maintain it, they become homeless again.  Its to as simple as throwing money to the situation.  We've done that as a country and we still have the same issues.[/quote]
Lazy people throw money, not knowing how it's used. So wasteful.[/quote]

Gee, Glenn Beck spent $10,000 per person to relocate Christians with his Nazarene fund and that was just to get them to a host country.  Other organizations are providing financial and other support after they get there.  I know this because Glenn Beck wrote about it on his site. So I guess Beck is wasteful and lazy, too.[/quote]

How generous of him only to rescue Christians who share his beliefs abandoning those who need it as he does not feel their religion is worthy.  I could not care less that he donated some money to move folks without helping them after and long term...he just did it for bragging rights. [/quote]

He did it because Christians were being murdered in horrific ways and Obama was sweeping that under the rug in favor of helping Muslims. He knew Obama was not going to help, so he started the Nazarene fund to do so. [/quote]

[/quote]
Obama did not prioritize helping Christians who were being murdered in horrifying ways over Muslims nor Muslims over Christians. Both groups were/are being murdered. We evaluate them individually, not based on their creed.

And the US has been accepting Christian Syrian refugees and asylees for years in the standard 80k refugee visas we issue every year to people across the world.

God does anyone on here actually know any actual facts about immigration in America? Jesus.[/quote]
Where are your actual stats?[/quote]

What stat do you want? [/quote]
1. How many Muslim Syrians have been allowed into the U.S.?
2. How many Christian Syrians have been allowed into the U.S.?[/quote]

Thank you PP because I just learned some things I did not know since I was more familiar with the uscis side and not the dos side.

The answer to your questions can be found in both of the two links below.

1) More than 2000
2) 52

The reasons for this are related to how refugees are classified as refugees. Mainly they apply and are designated for rehoming by the UN. This part of the process has nothing to do with the US. We take recommendations from the UN as the first round of screening (they go through a more rigorous screening process when they go through our immigration system).

Christian Syrians face discrimination even in the refugee camps and so are less likely to identify as a Christian or to even go to a camp in fear from that persecution. There is literally nothing the US could do about this problem as it takes place in another country and we do not take part in who is officially classified as a refugee. We can only process the people recommended to us by the UN

NP reading along.

Going to skip CNSNews because they are right wing shills

Going to wrapsnet.org I ran the report for Syria for the last couple of years:

1/1/2013 to present

2 Atheist
2 Bahai
4 Catholic
43 Christian
1 Greek Orthodox
3 Jehovah Witness
65 Moslem

Looks like we've been taking Syrian Christians in.

Pp here, I don't think you ran the report including all Muslim options, the numbers I cited came from the wraps net report I ran[/quote]
