    "Considering" means Obama has already decided to take in Syrians (after arming jihadists in Syria). Asylum and resettlement seems to have worked out well for the Tsarnaevs.

    Good. They're war refugees. They need help, not to be turned back. I'm glad the US is trying to offer humanitarian support.

    As more and more states add gun rights including conceal carry and the majority now open carry, it is critical to Democrats to bring in a lot of criminals to commit lots of horrible crimes to support the reasoning why people should be disarmed.

    Under New U.S. Syrian Refugee Surge, Processing Time Reportedly Slashed to 3 Months
    April 7, 2016 – As the Obama administration institutes a “surge” aimed at meeting its goal – currently way off-target – of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees this fiscal year, the Associated Press has cited an official at the U.S. Embassy in Amman as saying that the time taken to process each admission is being cut to three months. “While the resettlement process usually takes 18 to 24 months, under the surge operation this will be reduced to three months, [regional refugee coordinator Gina] Kassem said,” the AP reported Wednesday.
