Obama to go beyond 10,000 Syrian refugees

Administration officials said Friday that the 10,000 Syrian refugees President Obama wants to welcome this fiscal year is a floor, not a ceiling, and they can go even higher than that total.

“We can now say that we’ve welcomed 8,000 Syrian refugees so far this year and we are very confident we will welcome at least 10,000,” Assistant Secretary of State Anne C. Richard told reporters in updating the flow.

This is bad, very bad indeed. Within a year tops, I see all sorts of issues cooking up that would never have taken place if the government didn't allow this too happen. Is Obama having a pissing contest with Merkel to see who can outdo the other with polluting and diluting their countries national awareness?
