REFUGEE FACTS = THE GOP LIES

FACT: By law, US administration can admit about 10,000 in 2016 with no refugee commitments beyond that.

SEE GRAPH OF Refugee Ceilings and Admitted Refugees to the United States, FY 2009-2015:

US HISTORIC Total = 2,290 Syrian refugees since 2011 = 62 were Christian (3%) = All were referred to U.S. by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees = 2,127 are Sunni Muslims (93%)

FACT: US = 23,826 total applicants with 15,937 women andchildren under 12 (67%) + 25.5% Men age 18+ = Not all 23,826 refugees to U.S. will be admitted.

U.S. refugees come from people still remaining in the Middle East = Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan are largely women and children = 67% are children 12 and women.

FACT: Most Syrians are Sunni refugees = RESULT of bombardments in war and fleeing the fighting of those not with the Assad regime = Much of the fighting has been in heavily Sunni areas. + Much of the Sunni-controlled territory is controlled by ISIS and nobody wants to live under ISIS

FACT: 1,925 Syrian refugees processed in US in 2015 = Data by Refugee Processing Center with 1,275 people placed in GOP states and 650 in Democratic governors states = Nearly twice as many states have Republican governors (31 states GOP Versus 18 Democratic) + GOP States average 41 Syrian refugees Versus 36 in DEM states = Based on family ties + Jobs availability = Examples are Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania and California, where there are small pockets of Syrian Americans.
ONE POSSIBLE SCENARIO: “Over the next two fiscal years, it is possible that the U.S. will accept 185,000 total refugees from around the world, but not just from Syria.
