I know this can't be true, because first off, the refugees aren't coming for at least a year...trying to find a link, something to stop this from adding to the hysteria.

1. The fact that he uses quotation marks is a sure sign it's a biased, dishonest post.

But whether the statement is true? Since he didn't bother providing a link, it's automatically suspect.

2. I know that, you know that

but some of my boneheaded FB peeps are very gullible, especially in this mob mentality. I was hoping someone could give me a link, something I could post to debunk this.

3. Google State Dept. refugee assistance, reception and placement

State has a lot of detailed info, much of it in pdf format.

One thing to note right off the bat is that the various aspects of refugee assistance have time limits--the assistance is not a lifetime entitlement--and assistance in securing gainful employment is a major part of resettlement.

4. There's another that supposedly shows 10,000 refugees flooding the streets of New Orleans. It has

very dramatic music, shows thousands "flooding Germany and France." Then, it shows riots, bombs, and worse.

One racist/bigot I went to high school with almost 50 years ago "shared" the alarmist video, and a bunch of other similar right wing jerks chimed in. God, I really despise folks who are still hating after all these years.

8. These two ladies

I'm friends with on FB aren't conservatives, in fact, one's a former hippie, the other still is a hippie, that's why their believing and reposting this shit is so disappointing...and distressing. They lean left, but generally they aren't very political at all. Or hateful people, although they are a product of their generation if you know what I mean. They're just gullible, getting swept up in the mob mentality.

6. Even if the facts weren't BS the framing is BS

The same people, Liberals, who generally support helping Syrians emigrate, also favor helping Veterans getting better care. The politicians who oppose helping Syrians emigrate, Conservatoids, also oppose and fight all efforts to help veterans.

7. I love when Republicans pretend to care about homeless veterans. n/m

9. so why isnt the gop, who controls the house, spending their time trying to repeal the aca instead

of creating and passing veteran assistance bills?

10. I see sh/t like that all the time on FB

From people I went to high school with and a couple of guys I served in the Army with. The worst was the worst soldier I served with (literally a bag of hammers) who failed out of college. And I mean failed out.
