Fellow Conservative,
Last week, Congress and the Obama administration did something remarkable. They both declared that ISIS was committing genocide in Syria against Syrian Christians and minorities.
Genocide is defined as the attempt, in whole or in part, to destroy a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. Genocide does not require that you succeed in destroying the entire group, nor does it require that you use killing as a form of violence.
The point is that genocide is killing a group of people because of their identity.
ISIS beheading Christians and killing ethnic minorities en masse is a clear example of genocide.
Congress passed a law giving the Obama administration a deadline to declare it a genocide and the Obama administration followed through.
It is common knowledge that the President is trying to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees here. The FBI admitted that it is impossible to vet these people, but Obama’s letting them in anyway.
So, Republicans in Congress just introduced the Religious Persecution Relief Act of 2016, forcing the Obama administration to prioritize Syrian Christians and genocide victims for entry!
There’s nothing Obama can do. He backed himself into a corner. It would be political suicide to declare what is happening in Syria to be a genocide and then proceed to not bring genocide victims here to the United States.
It completely makes sense. Why should the United States risk letting terrorists and criminals into the United States when there is a whole group of people literally dying to get here?
Obama has two choices. He can prioritize Christian and minority victims for refugee status or he can ignore them and continue to bring radicals here who want to do us harm.
Syrians are already coming here. It is happening. In 2015, only 2.3% of the 1,790 Syrian refugees that Obama brought in were religious minorities. A quarter of the way through 2016, however, there have been 465 refugees brought in and only FOUR of them were religious minorities (less than 1%).
Right now, we have the opportunity to decide who is coming here: potential terrorists or certified victims.
I choose the latter. Syrian Christians and minorities aren’t sexually assaulting women and shooting up community centers. They are begging to come here to escape genocide and they deserve the opportunity.
This is common sense but Democrats are already promising to stop the bill from moving forward. They want to give Obama the right to bring terrorists and terror sympathizers here!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto
