WND EXCLUSIVE
'STAGGERING': 680,000 MUSLIMS TO U.S. UNDER OBAMA

Green-card totals over 5 years enough to populate D.C.

Published: 4 hours ago

The U.S. issued 680,000 green cards to migrants from Muslim-majority countries in the five-year period encompassing 2009 through 2013, according to Department of Homeland Security data.

This Islamic “invasion,” as some are calling it, occurred on the Obama administration’s watch, with plans for 10,000 Syrian Muslims grabbing much of the headlines. But the actual number is many times higher with a refugee program that is rooted in the 1980s and has the support of both parties.

The U.S. has brought in more than 1.5 million Muslims through the refugee program since the passage of the Refugee Act of 1980. They have been coming from Islamic states with active jihadist movements such as Somalia, Bangladesh, Burma, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Bosnia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

To put this five-year tally — 680,000 — in context, it surpasses the total population of Washington, D.C., which is 660,000.

Yet, the Gang of Eight immigration “reform” bill co-sponsored by GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio would have tripled the number of green cards being issued.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
The data was released by Sen. Jeff Session, R-Ala., who serves on four Senate committees: Armed Services, Budget, Environment and Public Works, and Judiciary, where he is chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest.

Among those receiving green cards are foreign nationals admitted to the United States as refugees. Within one year they must apply for lawful permanent resident status, also referred to as a green card, and are placed on a fast track to full citizenship, which is obtainable within five years.


Refugees, which are hand-picked by the United Nations for resettlement in more than 180 U.S. cities and towns, have instant access to federal welfare and entitlements, along with local benefits and education services. These costs are not offset.

The 680,000 number is not an estimate of total migration, as it does not include temporary migrants who return home, nor is it an estimate of population change, as it does not include births or deaths, among other considerations.

There is no official tally of the Muslim population in America because the Census does not track religious affiliation. The estimates range from 2.8 million by Pew Research based on a 2011 study and 7 million as estimated by the Council for American-Islamic Relations.

“Whatever the exact level, it can hardly be considered surprising that as the Muslim population in the country has expanded, so has the incidence of radicalism,” wrote Ian Tuttle in an article for National Review titled “The Troubling Math of Muslim Immigration.”

In fact many of the recent terrorist attacks on U.S. soil have been carried out by Muslim immigrants, including the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 and the Chattanooga shooting earlier this year.

Sessions’ immigration subcommittee has documented 72 cases of Muslim suspects carrying out attacks or attempted attacks over the past year. He believes all of them are either foreign-born Muslim immigrants or their offspring and has asked the Obama administration to clarify their immigration histories, but the administration has ignored the request.

Rubio’s stance on Muslim immigration

Rubio told Fox News host Sean Hannity earlier this week that he would not use Congress’s power of the purse to shut off funding for the refugee program.


Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Rubio said he’d prefer Speaker Paul Ryan’s plan, which would allow the Obama administration to continue on its resettlement binge — bringing in 85,000 refugees this year, up from 70,000 annually in recent years.

Obama wants to increase the number of refugees coming to the U.S. to 100,000 in 2017. More than half of these refugees will come from Muslim-dominated countries with active jihadist movements.

Policy is bigger than just Obama administration

Assuming no change in visa policy, the U.S. can expect to give green cards to another 680,000 migrants from these countries over the next five years. A green card entitles recipients to access federal benefits, lifetime residency, work authorization, and a direct route to becoming a U.S. citizen.

SECRET WEAPON REVEALED: See WND’s blockbuster story from one year ago that explains the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan to change American society from within, through stealth jihad.

The numbers could be higher still: Census Bureau data shows migration from the Middle East to be one of the fastest-growing categories. If left in place, Obama’s refugee plan would substantially boost the annual number of migrants from this region admitted to the U.S. who, in turn, would be able to petition for their overseas relatives to join them in the U.S. Refugee and asylee admissions from Iraq, Somalia, and Iran alone contributed 124,000 individuals from fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2013.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the foreign-born population in the United States is at a record 41.3 million. One-quarter of the U.S. population is now either foreign-born or has foreign-born parents.

The Census Bureau projects the percentage of the population born outside the country will soon pass the highest percentage ever recorded and continue rising to new all-time records never before witnessed – unless Congress passes a law to reduce green card allotments.

“Without such changes, the Census Bureau projects that, for each coming year the total number of immigrants in the United States will increase, the annual rate of immigrant admissions will increase, and the foreign-born share of the population will increase,” according to a statement from Sessions office.

“Pew polling data shows that 83 percent of the public (across all parties) opposes this growth baseline and believes the level of immigration should either be frozen or reduced,” Sessions’ statement said. “By a nearly 10-1 margin, Americans of all backgrounds are united in their shared belief that companies with positions to fill should raise wages instead of bringing in new lower-wage labor from abroad. And yet, despite this, the Senate’s Gang of Eight bill would have tripled the issuance of green cards over the next decade, and this year’s I-Squared bill would substantially increase both low-wage guest-worker admissions and green card allotments – all on top of the existing record-breaking and unprecedented growth in future immigration.”

Green Card Totals, FY09-FY13

Pakistan (83K), Iraq (83K), Bangladesh (75K), Iran (73K), Egypt (45K), Somalia (31K), Uzbekistan (24K), Turkey (22K), Morocco (22K), Jordan (20K), Albania (20K), Lebanon (16K), Yemen (16K), Indonesia (15K), Syria (14K), Sudan (13K), Afghanistan (11K), Sierra Leone (10K), Guinea (8K), Senegal (7K), Saudi Arabia (7K), Algeria (7K), Kazakhstan (7K), Kuwait (5K), Gambia (5K), United Arab Emirates (4K), Azerbaijan (4K), Mali (3K), Burkina Faso (3K), Kyrgyzstan (3K), Kosovo (3K), Mauritania (2K), Tunisia (2K), Tajikistan (2K), Libya (2K), Turkmenistan (1K), Qatar (1K), Chad (1K)

[Note: These are the specific DHS green card totals during this time range for Muslim-majority countries which sent at least one-thousand or more migrants, and include any refugees or asylees who adjusted to LPR status.]

Why is that staggering.

That's like a single year of illegal border crosser arrests (actual arrests, not actual number of people that crossed the border which they've cooled on actually arresting).

Is it "staggering" because it's ONLY 680,000 Muslims to U.S.?

there definitely is a problem,and it isn't WND either!

If there was a standard of 70,000 in 2008 refugees per year (The United States resettles more refugees than any other country), & the standard was raised since 2009 ... & MOST are from Muslim countries. Then in those 4 years, it is not only possible ,it is probable.
And Obama & Sen. Kerry have already said (numerous times) they want another increase: 855,000-100,000 from (mostly) Syria & Africa by 2017(which are over 95% Muslim & 67%-74% young men).

A graph on AIC’s website shows refugee ceilings set by the president and the Congress each year for fiscal years 2009 to 2015. The graph also shows the total number of refugees admitted to the U.S. from 2009-2015.
From 2009 to 2011, the refugee ceiling was set at 80,000, but for the last three years the ceiling was set at 70,000.
From 2013 to 2015, the total number of refugees admitted to the U.S. was around the 70,000 ceiling.
The proposed ceiling for the 2016 fiscal year is 85,000 and the Obama administration has recently announced plans to bring an additional 10,000 Syrians into the U.S.
In 2015, 35.1 percent of refugee arrivals came from Near East/South Asia regions, which includes Iraq, Iran, Bhutan and Afghanistan, 32.1 percent came from Africa and 26.4 percent came from East Asia, which includes China, Vietnam and Indonesia.

does "Fundamentally Remaking The USofA" ring a Bell?

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2577134

President Obama's open-door immigration policy is set to accept more immigrants from Muslim nations over the next five years than the entire population of Washington, D.C., according to federal documents.

Figures from the Department of Homeland Security show that the president has already issued 680,000 green cards to immigrants from Muslim nations over the past five years. Unless Congress changes his policy, that number will be repeated in the next five years.



http://www.sessions.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=A7F4D921-A030-4B69-84B7-EA26DBEE109A

What's more, the president is also planning to add over 100,000 more with refugee status, many from Syria. Refugees can also petition the government for their relatives.

DHS data released by the Sen. Jeff Sessions' Judiciary subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, noted that refugees, who must apply for a green card within one year, have instant access to federal welfare and entitlements, along with local benefits and education services; these costs are not offset.

{Read the full statement here.}

The DHS number of 680,000 does not include temporary migrants who return home nor births or deaths.

The subcommittee said that "assuming no change in visa policy, the U.S. can expect to give green cards to another 680,000 more migrants from these countries over the next five years. A green card entitles recipients to access federal benefits, lifetime residency, work authorization, and a direct route to becoming a U.S. citizen."

That is a group bigger than Washington, D.C.'s population of 658,893.

And it could grow far more. The Census Bureau suggests that migration from the Middle East is fast growing.

Immigration is one of the most controversial topics in the nation due to Obama's policies on undocumented children and parents and lately his plan to settle up to 85,000 Syrian refugees. Several governors and the House have caused for a pause on the program due to concerns it will let terrorists pretending to be Syrians into the U.S.

Already, the foreign-born population in the United States is at a record 41.3 million.

Critics are considering limits to green cards and student visas,

"Without such changes, the Census Bureau projects that, for each coming year the total number of immigrants in the United States will increase, the annual rate of immigrant admissions will increase, and the foreign-born share of the population will increase," said the Alabama Republican's subcommittee release.

"Pew polling data shows that 83 percent of the public (across all parties) opposes this baseline and believes the level of immigration should either be frozen or reduced. By a nearly 10-1 margin, Americans of all backgrounds are united in their shared belief that companies with positions to fill should raise wages instead of bringing in new lower-wage labor from abroad. And yet, despite this, the Senate's Gang of Eight bill would have tripled the issuance of green cards over the next decade, and this year's I-Squared bill would substantially increase both low-wage guest worker admissions and green card allotments – all on top of the existing record-breaking and unprecedented growth in future immigration," it added.

Green Card Totals, FY09-FY13:

Pakistan (83K), Iraq (83K), Bangladesh (75K), Iran (73K), Egypt (45K), Somalia (31K), Uzbekistan (24K), Turkey (22K), Morocco (22K), Jordan (20K), Albania (20K), Lebanon (16K), Yemen (16K), Indonesia (15K), Syria (14K), Sudan (13K), Afghanistan (11K), Sierra Leone (10K), Guinea (8K), Senegal (7K), Saudi Arabia (7K), Algeria (7K), Kazakhstan (7K), Kuwait (5K), Gambia (5K), United Arab Emirates (4K), Azerbaijan (4K), Mali (3K), Burkina Faso (3K), Kyrgyzstan (3K), Kosovo (3K), Mauritania (2K), Tunisia (2K), Tajikistan (2K), Libya (2K), Turkmenistan (1K), Qatar (1K), Chad (1K)

I thought I heard it will be years before we take them all in...

100,000 was Sen. Kerry suggestion to Obama as opposed to Obama saying 850,000 by 2017.

and I seriously think they should be recorded on record to where and who they are ... not becouse of who they are but just as a process ...
and that goes for all illegal immigrants we seem to take in... we did this before except on paper ...we have gotten high tech and should be easier to have records on them ... an I agree we do have a large issues on this Imagination bill ... they stopped talking about all of those that came over the border of Mexico that they said these women and children an where running from danger ... I believe we should put them all on record as a precaution also.

IMO: * radical as it may sound*
this is about tracking.
First they put through that we need a passport to Canada.
Months ago the government started talking about passports to travel state to state, in the USA. National id's have been talked about for years. And we already have the technology for surgical tracking implants (& there are lots of excuses why we should have them, including for our own safety & paperless money).

Yep..we stopped hearing about immigration & illegals. I guess we are supposed to think about something else.

Hhaa..oh look, a squirrel!

... Worry about Muslims who will not assimilate & not the RC's who won't assimilate.
* We are giving far more money to the ' refugees' (mostly Muslin men), than we are to 'immigrants' (mostly Roman Catholic women & children).
* I am starting to have a big issue with that.. Where is their apartment & gift card & English class?. I am not saying that they should get these things, I am saying 'how is this fair?'*

I read that Mexico is now having a tough time (& blaming us of course), that since the USA cut back on taking in South Americans.. Mexico now has more people in camps & for longer periods of time. Oh how ironic! Plus.. They agreed to take in Syrians also. .* they better start building more camps*

I also heard ... most that are trying to get ISIS followers... where women telling then how good it is to fight their cause ... but once in totally your in for ur life an ... if you do not ...do what they say... u die and women and children are being raped that join and are followers of this group but these women want tell you that ...because they will die...

Yes, I read yesterday there are at least 100 documented cases in Germany (alone, & this is a country that doesn't let information get out). They are being recruited right from the camps to private residences & then taken to a Mosque where terrorists frequent.
