While the media has been quick to shift the blame to the Catholic Charity involved in helping the refugees get settled, it’s important to remember that they’re only the middle man. If the blame should rest with anybody it’s with the Obama Administration and their lack of both screening and follow up for refugees.
“We’re at the receiving end,” Executive Director of Catholic Charities, Chad Aguillard said. “We receive them, we welcome them into our community and help them resettle. There has been a lot of commotion and fear with Syrians. The fear is justified, but we have to check that against reality.”
Monday, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal sent a letter to President Obama demanding information about the Syrian refugees resettling into his state.
Last week, the city of New Orleans began receiving its first wave of Syrian refugees. As with former immigration crises and federal relocation policy, Louisiana has been kept in the dark about those seeking refuge in the state. It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state’s knowledge or involvement.
With more and more U.S. governors rejecting President Obama’s refugee plan and a bill currently going through Congress that would restrict it, many Americans are seeing the dangers in welcoming these Syrian refugees into our country. And President Obama, of course, was quick to muster up a blame storm pointed at Republicans. When the “I told you so” moment arrives, the potential loss of life will leave a bad taste in everybody’s mouths.

mail order bride all he could land lol so he’s going to defend refugee-terrorist.
Nathan Forrest, I’m not a moron or a lier but your a uninformed stooge. Here’s the article about the refugee that resettled from Louisiana to Washington DC, HLS knew EXACTLY where he was at all times.
A Syrian refugee that had shortly resettled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is apparently not being monitored by the Department of Homeland Security, as state officials had originally assumed.
Earlier in the week, the Hayride reported on a “missing” Syrian refugee that had apparently left the Baton Rouge area. Then, the Louisiana State Police confirmed that the refugee was headed to Washington DC to resettle with family in the country’s capitol.
Once in Washington DC, the refugee was apparently supposed to “check in” with authorities there, according to state officials.
However, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who has been on top of the issue ever since, said he spoke with the Department of Homeland Security today and they confirmed to him that they do not, in fact, know where the refugee is.
Homeland Security say they have no information on where the Syrian refugee is. Also, they said the refugee could not be “kept up with” because of his constitutional rights, according to a spokesman for Vitter.
Vitter, who has been an adamant opponent of bringing Syrian refugees into the country and specifically the state, said this specific case comes down to political correctness.
Nathan Forrest, since 9/11 750k refugees have been resettled in America, not ONE has ever been convicted of DOMESTIC TERRORISM. I’m a hell of a lot more afraid of right wing gun nuts like you than I am of any refugees. Look at what your PRO LIFE buddies did today at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado. Killing 3 people, one was a policeman.
