More immigrants from Muslim nations than population of D.C. — 680,0

Coming soon: More immigrants from Muslim nations than population of D.C. â€" 680,000

President Obama's open-door immigration policy is set to accept more immigrants from Muslim nations over the next five years than the entire population of Washington, D.C., according to federal documents.

Figures from the Department of Homeland Security show that the president has already issued 680,000 green cards to immigrants from Muslim nations over the past five years. Unless Congress changes his policy, that number will be repeated in the next five years.

What's more, the president is also planning to add over 100,000 more with refugee status, many from Syria. Refugees can also petition the government for their relatives.

DHS data released by the Sen. Jeff Sessions' Judiciary subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, noted that refugees, who must apply for a green card within one year, have instant access to federal welfare and entitlements, along with local benefits and education services; these costs are not offset.

Good luck with that.

Maybe the US can do a one for one swap with DC folks for Damascus folks?  Couldn't hurt ;-)

That is a drop in the ocean for us.

Also; 50% children, 25% over the age of 60 so far... I don't see them causing too many issues.

For those folks, last year, who thought the Honduran children/orphans were an existential threat to the US ... anyone browner than they are ... is a panic attack.  But there is no such thing as phobias.
