Wednesday at the White House, the most senior national security officials will discuss raising the limit on the number of refugees from around the world allowed to enter the United States -- from 70,000 this year to 85,000 next year and 100,000 in fiscal 2017, three administration officials told me. If members of the National Security Council Principals Committee agree on the plan, it will be sent to President Obama’s desk, and administration sources say he is likely to quickly approve it.

Yeah...I saw a few guys. They looked like college students with backpacks on. They were trying to negotiate rides to other countries from mules while their wives, sisters, moms and mothers hid in the woods for safety.

Scary lot I tell you.

So you don't see women but it's easy enough to make something up.

Saudi Arabia has fully airconditioned tent cities for up to 3 million refugees. Why don't they go there?

I agree. SA needs to start playing a role in lots of things in their corner of the globe.

God, a hundred and fifty years ago and you would all be saying the same thing about the Irish.

That elementary school kid in the last photo looks especially militant.

I'd imagine because those tents are already spoken for. They are specifically for the Hajj pilgrimage.

SA likes to Cut off too many heads. Not sure many want to go there for refuge. Executioner needs practice participants to hone His Skills.

Were the Irish getting off the boats shouting erin go bragh or waving American flags and enlisting to fight the civil war?

The problem is not the poverty or refugee status the problem is that Islam and western culture are diametrically opposing philosophies.

Pretty much sums it up perfectly. One would wonder why they don't head to other predominantly Muslim countries.
