Oblamebush and the UN have been working tirelessly to get a deal settled to bring in Syrian Refugees into a settlement project here in the U.S.A. The U.S. State Department announced this week that the first major contingent of Syrian refugees, 9,000 of them, have been hand-selected by the United Nations for resettlement into communities across the United States. The 9,000 refugees represent just the beginning of an extended program to accept more Syrians.The United States, with its commitment to accepting 70,000 displaced people a year, absorbs more refugees than all other countries combined. This number is understated, however, as once refugees get to the United States they are placed on a fast track to citizenship and are able to get their extended families to join them in the states under the government’s Refuge Family Reunification program. The State Department is placing refugees in 180 cities across 49 states. Heres a link to the cities and states accepting the refugees. Lovely.
