The FOXified
right wing Bigotry Brigade is at it
again. Republican
congressional lawmakers, Republican 2016
presidential candidates, Republican governors
and Republican-based fake news networks are freaking out about accepting Syrian
refugees.
The FOXified
Republican political and fake news freak out would be justified if it was based on facts and
solutions instead of on being stuck in Bizzaro World!
56% of
domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the U.S. since 1995 have been
perpetuated by right
wing extremists!
The FBI reported that roughly
two-thirds of terrorism in the United States is conducted by non-Islamic American extremists from 1980-2001; and 2002-2005, it went up to
95%. (Some Statistics and Facts on Right Wing Extremism in the United States
link below.)
Last year, for example, a man who identified with the sovereign citizen movement - which claims not to recognize the authority of the federal or local government - attacked a courthouse in Forsyth County, Georgia, firing an assault rifle at police officers and trying to cover his approach with tear gas and smoke grenades. (The Growing Right Wing Terror Threat link below.)
Right wing gun touting militias,
neo-Nazis, and sovereign citizens are the biggest threat we face regarding terrorism in the United. States and right
wing-led political and media-based
propaganda against gun controls, government programs, a Black president, Muslims, immigrants
and minorities only serve to fuel domestic terrorism sentiments. (See Why Republicans are determined to ignore the threat of right-wing
extremism link below.)
The truth about Syrian refugee resettlement is quite different from the half-truths, lies, misinformation, and fear-mongering spouted by FOXified Republican congressional representatives, FOXified Republican presidential candidates, and FOXified fake
news networks.
First of all, the Republican-based propaganda myth that there is a flood
of Syrian refugees waiting at our borders to enter the U.S. without being,
properly vetted is full tilt Bizzaro World!
Republican
lawmakers'(?!?!?)
GOP Sequester budget cuts resulted in “severely hindered” intelligence and
national security improvements and Republican lawmakers(?!?!), recently, blocked legislation to stop suspected terrorists from buying
guns!?!?! (See Newly Unclassified Report Reveals that GOP Sequester Cuts Hindered National Security and NRA, Republicans block proposed law to stop suspected terrorists from buying guns in US links below.)
These same Republican lawmakers(?!?!?) just led a vote to make it
virtually impossible for Syrian refugees to resettle in the United States - Bizarro World!
It takes 2-3 years or more for a
refugee to be resettled in the U.S. Applications are, first, vetted by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Once completed there, the
application is vetted by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). If
approved, the application is vetted by the International Organization for
Migration. If any application raises a red flag, the case is forwarded to the
Fraud Detection and National Security Division of USCIS. If cleared the
application is vetted by the State Department. After all of that the
application goes through another round
of security screenings, including being vetted by the Department of Defense, the
State Department’s Consular Lookout and Support System, the FBI’s Terrorist
Screening Center, the National Counter Terrorism Center and others.
Other myths and facts about Syrian refugee resettlement in the U.S. can
be found at the Myths & Facts in the
Syrian Refugee Issue, Syria Crisis Fast Facts and Overview of the Refugee
Situation, and Stretching Facts on Syrian Refugees links below.
Republican
governors who are, currently, promoting
guns everywhere laws; denying voting
rights, and denying affordable health care for their constituents claim they can
bar Syrian refugees - Bizarro World!
According to the Constitution
which vests all of the immigration and naturalization powers in the Federal
Government and makes Federal law the supreme law of the land, they don’t have the authority to do that.
The Refugee Act of 1980
authorizes that “the number of refugees who may be admitted under this
section…shall be such number as the President determines.
One final point, the misleading FOXified
media claim that the majority of
Americans are against the resettlement of Syrian refugees to the United States
based on a Bloomberg Poll is floundering in Bizarro World!
If they comprehended the full
content of the poll, they would realize that the general results of the
Bloomberg Poll are partisan!
A breakdown of the poll results
reflect that among Republicans, just 12% want
the Syrian refugee resettlement program to continue, while 69% want it ended.
With Democrats, 46% would continue the program while 36% would shut it down.
Instead of aiming their sites on
Muslim bigotry, FOXified Republican presidential
candidates, congressional representatives, governors and fake news media
outlets need to focus on how to contain the right wing
extremists they are breeding at
home!
