The time for this suicidal idiocy is long past. Graham is a presidential candidate? He ought to be laughed off the presidential debate stage, made to resign from the Senate, and barred from ever holding public office again. And if he succeeds in expanding the “refugee” program, he ought to be made to house the increased numbers of “refugees” in his home and Senatorial office.
“Forget Paris: Lindsey Graham to double funding for ‘refugees,'” by Leo Hohmann, WND, November 15, 2015:
In the wake of the deadly Paris attacks by ISIS, some GOP presidential candidates such as Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and even Marco Rubio are calling for an end to Syrian refugee resettlement in the U.S.
Most of the others have been silent or vague on the issue of Syrian refugees – about 2,000 of whom have already arrived in the U.S. despite warnings from the FBI that it’s impossible to vet their backgrounds.
But there is one candidate who is clearly on the record wanting more Syrian Muslims to pour into American cities and towns as “refugees,” despite the fact that at least one of the seven attackers in Paris had a Syrian passport and entered France as a “refugee.”
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who positions himself as a war hawk against ISIS, is co-sponsoring legislation with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., to nearly double the amount of funding Washington spends on resettling refugees from Syria.
On the day after the multi-pronged shooting and bombing attacks on Paris, which killed 129 civilians and injured 352, Graham pounced again on the theme that ISIS must be attacked at its core in Syria and destroyed, or there would be more attacks on Western cities.
One of Graham’s favorite talking points is, “If we don’t stop them over there, they are coming over here just as sure as I stand here in front of you.”
It’s curious, then, say his critics, that he would be pushing for escalating the importation of more Islamic refugees into U.S. cities and towns from the world’s most notorious hotbed of jihadist activity – Syria.
Graham’s press secretary did not respond to requests for comment from WND.
Without giving a number, Graham has said the U.S. should accept its “fair share” of Syrian refugees.
His bill provides some insight on what that number might be.
According to the Hill, the legislation doesn’t specify how many Syrian refugees should be accepted into the United States but the amount of funding requested would allow for the resettlement of up to 100,000 Syrian refugees over two years, Leahy’s office said.
Even President Obama has never explicitly said this many Syrians should be allowed into the U.S, although that could be his plan given the vague nature of his statements. Obama’s State Department has called for 10,000 Syrians to be admitted in 2016 and “many more” in 2017….

Idiot..
For a second, I thought that was Hellery without her wig.
Christianblood says
I really don’t know what to say. I am at a loss for words!
eduardo odraude says
Hard to believe Graham could be that idiotic. Consequently, one wonders if there is a selfish motive — is he getting paid by someone to support this?
Jay Boo says
If his child was murdered in Paris he might not be so smug.

Now where is the headline about Trump saying all the Syrian refugees will be sent back if he’s elected?

Indeed!! This is what *should* happen. But will it? Sadly, probably NOT.
quotha raven says
To Champ – So far as I know, Graham has NEVER BEEN on the debate stage, and I’ve watched them all. Also, it’s news to me that he’s declared he’s a candidate for republican presidential nomination. He sure keeps a low profile!
Cheers!

Howard Pond says
He has participated as one of the contenders in the second tier debates, although he didn’t poll well enough to participate in the last one. His strongest argument has been that he, of all the contestants, would be the most aggressive Commander-in-Chief in attacking ISIS, and until this JW post, I thought he should be viewed favorably. Now, I’m so pleased that he has less than 1% with minuscule momentum in moving towards the White House. So dumb, or so compromised, I don’t know. Where is Ben Carson on this question?
quotha raven says
To Howard G – When I said I watched all the debates, I should have said the adults table. I don’t have tv, so I had to watch live streaming on my desk top, and I couldn’t find the kids’ table being streamed, so I didn’t know much about Lindsey G – except that I vaguely heard that he might be running.
Ben Carson is sounding pretty convinced that we have a war on our hands and Islam, the ideology, must be “discredited” and “destroyed”. Don’t forget – he was the first one to step out on a limb and declare that he wouldn’t support a muslim for president. He has never to my knowledge backed down from a confidently negative stance vis a vis Islam.
He has said that while his experience does not qualify him to run a war, he considers himself “a conduit, not a (I forget, something that meant a micro-manager”.and would leave strategy and tactics to military experts under his command.He indicated he would heed their advice, which would be quite a change. Seems to me he’ll have to replace a bunch of generals and high-ups in the military, now that O has replaced the competent ones with the wankers in there now.
Cheers!

Graham and his bobbsy-twin McCain, are the Muslim Brotherhood’s favorite Republican Senators. In Egypt, Libya, Syria running around on their Arab Spring Break. Did you miss him demanding Morsi be returned to power? He always links “destroying ISIL” to toppling Assad, his main obsession. He joined his conjoined twin McCain in trashing Michele Bachmann for raising the question of Muslim Brotherhood influence in our government. He called her allegations of Huma Abedin “ridiculous”. He told Politico that Abedin “is about as far away from the Muslim Brotherhood view of women and ideology as you possibly could get. She’s a very modern woman in every sense of the word, and people who say these things are really doing her a disservice because they don’t know what they’re talking about, and I don’t know what their motivations are, but clearly it says more about them than it does her.”
And here is the immortal defense McCain made for Abedin: “Some years ago, I had the pleasure, along with my friend, the Senator from South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham, of traveling overseas with our colleague, then-Senator Hillary Clinton. By her side, as always, was Huma, and I had the pleasure of seeing firsthand her hard work and dedicated service on behalf of the former Senator from New York – a service that continues to this day at the Department of State, and bears with it significant personal sacrifice for Huma.”
This is right up there with the smiling photo-ops of a clueless McCain with moderate Syrian freedom fighters who turn out to be jihadi killers, crucifiers, and shari’a bearers.

Just add his name to the list of those helping the wild beast from satan conquer and enslave mankind.

Graham is the worst kind of fool. He is a well educated, well connected and powerful fool. Such fools almost always do the most damage among those who emanate from the Realm of Fooldom. BTW, one of his best friends is John McCain. Need I say more?

Spot on Wellington! McCain and Graham fall well into the category of useful idiots. Proof that fools are made, not born!

Jay Boo says
WE ARE NOT HELPLESS — unless we choose to be helpless.
The Muslim world is laughing at the stupidity of our leaders and MSM who wish to import Islamic refugees into U.S.
Are we really helpless??? Just in today …
“The attack in Paris demonstrates how a handful of people can disrupt a whole country”, says NPR.
Sorry, that is a wrong conclusion.
The consistent message to Islam as a whole is that there will be absolutely no consequences to Islam and no scrutiny of Islam by the West.
1 — Even after the willful murder of French children, NPR is still shamelessly moaning about the supposed responsibility of Europe to open doors wide to the Muslim ‘refugee’ invasion.
President Ronald Reagan warned us when he said,
“It is more important to be respected than to be well liked.”
Jay Boo says
P.S.
The attack in Paris demonstrates how Muslims as a whole know very well that the West is full of PC wimps who are unwilling to give Islam a long overdue dope-slap upside the head for promoting Muhammad’s evil buffoonery.

Do we wait until it gets so frustrating that virtually Everyone begins to vote… in the U.S. about 60% of the voting eligible population votes during presidential election years…and about 40% votes during midterm elections…a popular multiple-million citizen movement would get these lawmaker’s attention…they would be all ears.
There are honest…dependable…effective…organizers…Just waiting for a cause… most free countries want to address this Aggressive Progressive Islam…Most Countries are Stupefied…Most Probably want some open way to challenge this.
No Folks…We Can Not Be Such Open Societies…that We Can Not Defend Our Own Way of Life…Our Own People….Our Laws May Need To Be Changed.
But I am afraid …
This can just go on and it is moving so quickly…until provocations cause mayhem…
Because we let it go until social unrest is ignited…and no benefit in the results.
This can get worse.

Well i suppose with over 300 Million people these imbeciles will keep coming out of the woodwork!

I don’t know if anybody else has noticed, but this idiot calls the Islamic State ISIL in the same way that Obama and Al Jazeera do. What we are seeing here in my opinion is the influence of foreign money via lobbying organizations.
Spencer said in one of his articles that we will be surprised who turns out to be on the side of the enemy. It turns out that Lindsey Graham is probably being influenced by organizations hostile to US interests and is actively giving aide and comfort to the enemy.
The fact that he has gotten this far in the Republican Party says more about the compromised nature of the Republican Party than anything else.

Mr. Graham is more focused on posing and basking in the spot light of left wing media approval than on protecting Americans.
He deserves to be spit on, horse whipped and pummeled like the rest of the traitors in office and those infesting our media, bureaucracy and academia.
They view us as enemies.
It’s time we started thinking of them the same way.

Ok so let me get this right – The very law enforcement agency that protects you says they cant really know these guys backgrounds – and you ignore them ( FBI) ?????
I am telling you that America and many European countries will have their very own ” hot spots ” of “refugees ” – just like Israel has – now you too will have your very own bitter and angry Arab, tightly knit communities – they will be your Achilles heel so to speak – The main difference will be that Israel has learn t how to deal with them – now you will have to learn the hard way – Welcome to ” Palestine” in France / America / and so on …….
Andrew H. says
The time has really come to establish a law requiring qualification tests for anyone running for any public office. We test and license a multitude of functions before the candidates are allowed to practice medicine, law, or even to drive a taxi – but any lunatic can run for Congress or the presidency which finds us having the inmates run the insane asylum.

Terry Karcich says
It is clear that the senator knows nothing about the refugees. For example, Christian refugees are being attacked and murdered by Muslim refugees for no other reason than they are hated as infidels. He should read the reports of how the male refugees treat host country women when they attempt to aid the female refugees and their children. I don’t know where he intends to settle them, but I guarantee that they will not assimilate into any American society but will establish “no go” zones where non-Muslims are unwelcome. Belgium has recently admitted that their Muslim zone is out of control. After the Paris attacks anyone who advocates bringing any Syrian refugees into America is out of touch with reality. Why not ask the American people how we feel about it? It is bad enough we have no southern border. Do we now have to provide transportation to bring unvetted refugees into the country?
Ed in North Texas says
This nonsense will end when the people decide to turn off the reality TV show, get up off the couch and demand the political “elites” stop all this crap. We are getting closer to that happening, else Trump would not be getting the attention he currently has. Otherwise either the people will get off the couch and do something themselves, which will be very nasty for some time period, or the country will be completely lost.
Aardvark says
I think America should take ALL of these refugees. You can have all of the other mohammedans in Europe, too. This would be doing Europe a great favour, and we would be extremely grateful.
After all, you have suitable places to put these barbarians. Bikini Atoll springs to mind, and the more northern parts of Alaska, but there are no doubt other suitable sites. Just make sure they are not allowed in your cities.

Where do we GET idiots such as Graham, and WHY should we allow Syrians or anyone else from the middle east into the U.S.? We have NO way of determining whether or not such refugees are ISIS plants, and we will have to spend billions on welfare to feed and house them, unless we somehow integrate them into our workforce that has been undermined by a weak economy. Is Graham stupid, crazy, or both?
Ann Inquirer says
We should not be vomiting back the media MYTH the pimps want us to. They are not refugees and they are not just Syrians, and never should be called as such. They are moslem INVADERS, Obama’s Invasion Army to join with his BLM, Panthers & NOI to bring in his #IslamoMarxist state.
