POS DURBIN, betrayer of the trust

Durbin: We Should Be Prepared To Accept 100,000 Syrian Refugees!

In A Speech On The Senate Floor, Senator Discusses Ongoing Crisis And His Recent Visit With Chicago-Area Refugee Families

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – During a speech on the U.S. Senate Floor, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) called for a drastic increase in the number of Syrian refugees who are resettled in the United States. Durbin also spoke of his meeting last week with Syrian families who have recently resettled in the Chicago area.
   
“We have a history of responding to humanitarian crises. We need to do it again.
What the Administration has posed is modest: 10,000. Too modest, as far as I am concerned.  I believe we should be prepared to accept 100,000, Syrian refugees,” Durbin said.
   
“The people I have met in Chicago, the refugees there, are just desperate people, trying to find a roof over their head, trying to find some little work to do to keep what remains of their family together. Each and every one of them said something interesting: all four of them said they couldn't believe how welcoming America was, and how friendly the people in America were to the refugees and their families. That’s who we are. That’s what America is about. We shouldn’t be afraid when people who are desperate for some refuge find our shores and say, may we come and join you?” 
   
On Friday, Durbin met with Syrian refugees who have settled in Chicago, representatives from Chicago’s Syrian community and representatives from RefugeeOne, Heartland Alliance, Catholic Charities and World Relief to discuss the need to increase refugee resettlements and create humanitarian safe zones in Syria. Photos of that meeting are available here.

    If there is one terrorist among those 100,000 refugees, that's 100,000 refugees too many.
