14 Democrats Form the Congressional ISIS Caucus

By James Simpson

The United States allows 70,000 people from all over the world to obtain legal permanent residence through our Refugee Program--one of the most generous in the world. We also bring in another 40,000 or so through the Asylum program. Then there is the Special Immigrant Visa for people from Iraq and Afghanistan--about 10,000 in FY 2014--and a Cuban/Haitian Entrant program bringing in another 20,000 annually. That adds up to about 140,000.

Many of these "refugees" come from Islamic countries like Somalia, Iraq and Iran, bringing with them at least the potential for terrorism, in many cases a contempt for our country and the almost universal edict among Muslims to dominate. Islamic supremacist Mega Mosques are being erected all over the country, vigorously supported by the Obama Justice Department, which runs interference for them over the objections of local citizenry.

It's about to get worse. The Syrian civil war--enabled at least partially by Obama's insane foreign policy--has created a refugee crisis, with approximately 2.9 million Syrians now living in refugee camps in surrounding countries. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees wants the U.S. to accept 130,000 Syrians by the end of 2016. We have only taken 700 so far, but given the FBI's warning that it cannot guarantee ISIS or other terrorists are not among the refugees, even that is too many.

Not to be dissuaded from such silly national security concerns, a group of 14 U.S. senators, led by the indefatigable Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, have written a letter to Obama urging him to allow 65,000 Syrians in as refugees. This would require a dramatic expansion of the refugee program, and virtually guarantee that a sizable number of ISIS fighters would slip in among them. Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy has given them the moniker "Jihad Caucus" because practically speaking, Jihad is what this request will bring.

The 14 senators demanding this massive influx of Syrians are:

  • Dick Durbin (D-IL)
  • Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
  • Al Franken (D-MN)
  • Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
  • Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
  • Patty Murray (D-WA)
  • Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
  • Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
  • Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
  • Christopher Coons (D-DE)
  • Tim Kaine (D-VA)
  • Edward Markey (D-MA)
  • Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
  • Mazie Hirono (D-HI)

These same 14 sent another letter in April Demanding action on the Syrians. These senators have truly earned the name Jihad Caucus. A few years back, Dick "Turban" Durbin, as he has been called, said U.S. troops guarding Guantanamo Bay prisoners, were Nazis. Sounds like a bit of projection to me.

So the pro-Islamofascist tyrant-in-chief was correct when he said in his 2009 Cairo sermon that the US is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. This is part of his "fundamental transformation".
He absolutely needs to be thrown out of office - and fast. So does the whole stinking, rotten, corrupt regime.
