Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society says we may have to admit 200,000 Syrian refugees

This is how they work! They constantly raise the ceiling so that the 65,000 they have been demanding looks small in comparison to the 200,000 they would really like to drop off in your towns and cities.
The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, one of nine major resettlement contractors being paid to resettle refugees, is at the forefront of a coalition of “multifaith” groups to bring in tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims and to increase our annual quota of 70,000 (from all countries) to 100,000 each year.
Nezer: Hundreds of thousands is not a huge number for America to absorb.
HIAS is also the group (largely funded with your tax dollars) and Nezer was the author of that reporttwo years ago threatening to sic the Southern Poverty Law Center on anyone resisting refugee resettlement.
Here is the latest from Forward.com (Jewish groups lead push to open doors to Syrian refugees):
Of the four million Syrians who have fled their war-torn country in recent years, at least 135,000 of them require immediate resettlement.
But America has absorbed fewer than 1,000. [Setting the ‘bad America’ meme at the outset!—ed]
Here come the ‘multifaithers:’
The Multifaith Alliance, noted Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg, the organization’s director of communications, programs and interfaith relations, started off as a Jewish response to the Syrian crisis. A year and half ago the group reached out to other faith-based groups and to humanitarian organizations, inviting them to join the effort. The alliance is made up of 40 groups of all faiths, but Jewish organizations still play a prominent role in the coalition.
Keep reading and then near the end comes the tips on where HIAS is going with its media and lobbying campaign:
…back in America, the Jewish community’s efforts to resolve the Syrian refugee crisis include high-level advocacy aimed at helping more Syrians resettle here.
Traditionally, the United States has taken it upon itself to admit half the refugees worldwide who are identified by UNHCR as being in need of immediate resettlement. In the Syrian case, this translates into about 65,000 out of the 135,000 total. But so far, UNHCR, slowed by its own vetting process, has referred only 12,000 requests to the United States. [Last week it was 130,000, see how they work!—ed]
Experts anticipate that by the time the refugee evaluation process is completed, some 400,000 will be recognized as needing resettlement.This will present America with a request to absorb 200,000 Syrian refugees.
But U.S. resettlement quotas, which have not been updated in years, now stand at 70,000 people total, from all over the world, per year. HIAS and Jewish groups are asking to increase this quota to 100,000 per year, a level the United States maintained in the 1980s. “It’s not a huge number for a country the size of the United States,” Nezer said.
The news report does mention security concerns and about how HIAS would like to get around that sticky issue. See our report with update of the House Homeland Security hearing earlier this week.
If you think this is too outragious to even consider, it isn’t. Remember HIAS has helped resettle over 100,000 (mostly Muslim) Iraqis and over 100,000 Muslim Somalis to America. Nothing would make them happier than to see 200,000 Syrians (90% will be Sunni Muslims) for you to care for where you live. And, the Christian ‘charities’ will be right there with them!
Can we say death wish!
