It was reported on Tuesday that 225 Syrians arrived in the US on Monday, which was a record number for a single day. It’s not the sort of performance most Americans want, as shown by a Rasmussen poll of a couple weeks back , in which 59 percent of voters opposed the Obama’s import of 10,000 Syrians this year. But Obama is aimed toward his professed legacy of fundamentally changing America — which Muslim immigration will definitely do — and he doesn’t care what the little citizens want.

It apparently didn’t make an impression in the White House when FBI Director James Comey testified last October in a House hearing that the US government cannot adequately screen Syrians for jihad connections because Washington has no access to Syrian databases. There is no way to do background checks without records, period, end of story.

But a little thing like admitting potential jihad enemies into the country does not seem to be a problem for Obama, who certainly likes Muslims very much. He has praised Muslims for helping to build America (a fantasy at best), while he has castigated Americans and Christians for ancient supposed misdeeds like the Crusades.

Still, it would reflect badly on Barack Hussein Obama if some of his Syrian imports were to commit murderous jihad in America. That topic was discussed on Tuesday between former CIA Director Jim Woolsey and Fox Business host Stuart Varney who inquired, “Why this sudden increase? Is this a mad rush to get them in?”

Director Woolsey answered, “I don’t know. I have an easier time getting inside the heads of terrorists and dictators than American politicians. . . The Director of the FBI says it’s really hard to vet people from that part of the world. Passports are easily bought and sold and modified and so forth. It’s a difficult problem but you can’t just ignore it and start admitting people.”

Responding to the political motivation, he observed, “He [Obama] seems to be making a number of changes, accelerating them here the last weeks to months of his administration because he wants to leave a legacy of some things that I and I think a lot of other people are very worried about, such as making nice to the Iranians and being a bit relaxed about their getting nuclear weapons. That’s not a heritage I would like to see him leave.” Regarding the influx of a million Muslims into Europe, Woolsey thought that there are “parts of London where sharia is the law. We couldn’t tolerate something like that.”

That remark about sharia being unacceptable in American neighborhoods was bravely spoken. But let’s check back on growing Islamic communities in Dearborn and Hamtramck Michigan and Lewiston Maine in a few years to see how well sharia is being resisted under the demographic siege.

If increased Muslim immigration is allowed to continue, there will be other towns threatened with sharia and worse.
