Europe is being inundated with Syrian refugees and Obama is letting in
70,000 per year (from other Muslim countries also) while Christian refugees
are not allowed by the UN or the US State Dept.
But the Gulf Arabic countries are not taking a "fair share" or ANY of the
Arabic Syrian refugees.
This article at the BBC link below explains why.

Interestingly, the Gulf Arabic states are afraid of infiltrators, but wearen't??
The Arabic Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, etc) also don't want to "dilute" their
"demographic balance" or culture with Arabs from other areas. (But Obama
doesn't mind if that happens in the US as Muslims arrive and try to
implement Sharia law).
"The world has had to find other solutions to cope with this
mass population movement, as Syrians tired of war and of languishing in
camps with little hope of social or financial betterment have begun to leave
the conflict zone in search of a more secure and prosperous future.
In short, providing food and shelter for people living in
camps was a solution for yesterday's problem. The most pressing issue is now
finding hundreds of thousands of people somewhere to live, and it is here
where the Gulf states have really begun to struggle for answers.
While the Gulf states have allowed some Syrian nationals in
(Saudi Arabia says it has let in 500,000 since 2011), primarily as migrant
workers, there has been no explicit policy from any of these countries to
house refugees arriving en masse without sponsors or work permits.
Foreigners are only allowed residency if they or their
spouse have full-time jobs - there is no possibility to remain permanently
in the Gulf without work - and once their contracts are up almost all
migrants return home."
I think it is time for the US to demand the Gulf Arabic states also take in
a representative share of Syrian Muslim refugees, rather than just Europe or
the US.
To follow issues related to Refugee Resettlement programs in the US, I
recommend Ann Corcoran's blog www.RefugeeResettlementWatch.Wordpress.com .
Scroll down this page
to get info for new readers. She has
6800 posts on this blog. You can also find continuous articles on the
refugee invasion of Europe at www.BBC.com . And here is a BBC article on
why Germany is admitting so many more refugees
while the UK is trying to keep
them out (An aging, reducing population is a major reason).
And, please remember that Obama and Hillary provided arms (remember
Benghazi?) to expand the fighting in Syria, creating the instability pushing
many refugees into Europe.
PS: It is my belief that there are indicators a Federally funded US refugee
center for Arabic Muslim (not Christian) refugees may be implemented soon in
North Lake County, maybe in the Tavares - Eustis area - more later. These
types of refugee centers have caused anguish in other states, including
Maine, Minnesota and now South Carolina is fighting them due to the
excessive social costs to pay benefits to them, competition for benefits and
jobs, and increased crime.
