“The legitimacy and transparency of these new ‘alternative pathways,’ aimed at admitting increasing numbers of Syrian refugees into the United States without calling them ‘refugees,’ remain to be seen,” CIS senior researcher Nayla Rush wrote in a report Monday. “They might even amount to convenient admissions detours at a time when the U.S. refugee resettlement program is under tight scrutiny.”
According to Rush, facing a target to resettle 480,000 Syrian refugees over the next three years, U.N. representatives have already been laying the rhetorical groundwork for pursuing such alternatives to resettlement. During a panel discussion at the Brookings Institution in February, Rush detailed, Beth Harris, Research Professor at Georgetown University and adviser to the United Nations Secretary General on humanitarian refugee policy noted the possibility of alternative paths.

Deport those who no longer qualify as "refugees" here first, and all those who have committed crimes. Then consider Syrian Christians, after confirming their story.
The rest can stay where they are at or go back.
You can call them picnickers if you want, but they're still refugees, and they're still from Syria and they're still unvetted Muslims. What's not understood here, UN?
Give them to fellow Muslim countries only!
I see Saudi Arabia has a tent village set up for several thousand that is empty, why aren't they being forced to accept their fellow Muslim Goat lovers?
Screw the UN we are not under their control. The UN is evil and should be dissolved now.
