Dear Conservatives,
18 mayors from around the country recently signed an open letter to President Obama, asking for even more refugees than the huge numbers his Administration has called for,
and most ridiculously of all, praising the current background check
process. If you have seen the news lately, you’re probably aware that
almost all refugees are now claiming to be from Syria and are throwing
away their ID’s and passports from their country of origin.
Ask yourself: How is it possible to do a background check on someone from a war zone?
How can you know the person’s true identity? What about people from the
regions ISIS controls? Does the State Department call up ISIS and ask
if the person is a terrorist? Is the State Department cooperating with
Assad’s government to perform background checks?
Any claim by the White House or the State Department that thorough
screening and background checks are being performed on these refugees is
a terrible joke. Unfortunately, it’s one with severe national security ramifications.
Further,
with today's rampant unemployment and low wages, why would we introduce
even more competition against American workers for the few jobs that
are being created? What will happen to American wages when there is even
more competition for jobs?
What will happen to our schools?
Budget cuts and teacher shortages are already hurting schools across the country. Are schools ready to accept thousands of additional students with no extra funding?
Most of the students will not speak English. How will our schools
afford or ever find qualified teachers in the various languages required
to staff entire parallel systems of all the classes currently being
offered? This will require massive budget increases that are just not
available. The only possible way to fund this is to drastically siphon
off resources from current students and lower the quality of their
education.
There are numerous other infrastructure problems this refugee
resettlment scheme will bring related to traffic, power, sanitation,
housing, crime, and healthcare. This has clearly not been thought
through very well.
It
is merely a cheap ploy by these mayors to grab votes without regard for
the multitude of problems it will inflict upon the citizens of their
cities.
It’s time to stand up for our communities and hold these elected officials accountable for their foolish actions. Shame on them.
We’ve
provided an email with talking points for you to send to these mayors.
(You only have to do it once and it will go to all of them.)
