The day after the Obama administration announced it was on pace this year to admit at least 10,000 refugees — and very likely more — from war-torn Syria, a man swinging a machete and shouting “Allahu Akhbar” attacked two female police officers outside the main station in Charleroi, Belgium.
It was the latest in a series of radical Islamic attacks in Europe, which has endured dozens of civilian deaths since the tide of Middle East refugees poured in.
Yet these recurring jihads are lost on a White House determined to reach a refugee goal far removed from the reality in Europe.
And whereas Europeans now are demanding tighter immigration enforcement, Democrat presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton insists on increasing the number of Syrian refugees entering America.
As it is, the United States is on pace to accept 12,000 refugees this fiscal year — and possibly 30,000 by next year, The Washington Times reports. Yet regardless of the turmoil in Europe, federal immigration enforcement insists it can spot bogus applications and weed out dangerous refugees.
That’s quite a claim when the U.S. has no access to Syrian databases or any on-the-ground information.
Instead of pressing America’s Middle East “allies” to open their countries to refugees of the same culture, the Obama administration stubbornly holds open the door to a potential disaster on the home front.
