Obama: Send U.S. 10,000 more Syrian refugees

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled ... Syrian refugees?

President Obama has now issued a call to bring in 10,000 ISIS-displaced Middle Easterners.

The 10,000 Syrian refugees are in addition to the 1,600 Syrians who have already been resettled in the U.S. since the civil war broke out in late 2011.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday that Obama wanted a "significant scaling up" of the number of Syrians brought into the U.S. next year, Reuters reported.

The decision by the White House comes just one day after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters the administration was "looking hard" at what number the U.S. and its allies could "specifically manage with respect to the crisis."

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper called the crisis a "disaster of biblical proportions," Fox News reported.

"Exactly what's their background?" Clapper asked. "We don't obviously put it past the likes of ISIL to infiltrate operatives among these refugees."

The U.S. and its coalition allies have tried to degrade and destroy the Islamic State group through a sustained air campaign since last August. The result has been a refugee crisis that will require countries around the world to absorb at least 75,000 people next year. Allies may eventually attempt to resettle 340,000 people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, Fox reported.

Like Clapper, allies are wondering who, exactly, they are being asked to accept.

"Masses of young men in their twenties with beards singing Allahu Akbar across Europe. It's an invasion that threatens our prosperity, our security, our culture and identity," said Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders on Thursday, Reuters reported.

Wilders lamented the "Islamic invasion" during parliamentary debate.

Hungary’s prime minister, Victor Orban, took a similar stance. He said in a recent op-ed Hungary would block Muslim refugees to preserve its Christian heritage, WND reported Sept. 4.

ISIS agents have stated their intention of using the refugee crisis as a means of stealth jihad against the West.

“Just wait. It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world and we will have it soon, God willing,” an ISIS member told BuzzFeed in January. “They are going like refugees. Others just go to Europe to be ready.”
