2016 Presidential candidate Gov. Scott Walker just jumped to number one in my list of candidates talking with sanity in the face of the huge public relations and propaganda campaign on-going to bring in more Syrian Muslims (yes, 95% so far since 2012 are Muslims) to live in your town or city. And, as much as it pains me to think about more US military involvement in the Middle East, ISIS must be destroyed. Trump, so far, has been doing squishy talk on the Syrian refugees.
Here is Walker quoted in The Hill (thanks to a reader):
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Wednesday said he opposes the U.S. opening its borders to take in more refugees from Syria.
“No, we shouldn’t be taking on any more Syrian refugees right now,” he said at the Governor’s Small Business Summit in Eau Claire, Wis., according to Wisconsin Public Radio.
“In the last year, America has received almost 70,000 refugees, of which nearly 2,000 are from Syria,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate said. “We’ve spent something like $4 billion in humanitarian relief in terms of helping the situation in Syria.”
“So, we’re doing more than any country in the world and it’s got to be clear that the problem that has to be addressed is not the refugee issue that’s a symptom, the real problem is this administration fails to deal with taking on ISIS,” added Walker.
