*This is the result of Barack Hussein Obama using our tax dollars to 
import thousands of Muslim so-called refugees---*

In April 2003, President George W. Bush outlined the progress of Operation 
Iraqi Freedom at the headquarters of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, an 
F-18 fighter jet production facility in St. Louis.

“We believe that people across the Middle East and across the world are 
weary of poverty, weary of oppression, and yearn to be free,” he said, 
pausing for applause. “And all who know that hope, all who will work and 
sacrifice for freedom, have a friend in the United States of America.”
*Of the 1.5 million Iraqi refugees who have fled the country, only about 
80,000, or 5 percent, have been resettled here in the U.S. *

Meanwhile, Sweden accepted an average of about 10,000 Iraqi refugees a year 
from 2006 to 2009, bringing the number of asylum seekers to about 50,000 in 
a country with a population 30 times smaller than ours.

Most Iraqi refugees, along with those internally displaced in Iraq, have 
received little attention from the nation that sought to bring them 
freedom. In the last four years, the U.S. has spent $2.1 billion on 
refugees in the Middle East region, with that funding dispersed among 
Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, 
Libya, Morocco, Oman, the Palestinian territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, 
Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
By contrast, the “too big to fail” banks enjoy an informal insurance policy 
from the government that costs $83 billion a year, according to a recent 
Bloomberg report. 

The Special Immigrant Visas (SIV) for Iraqi and Afghan civilians, created 
in 2008, were meant to expedite the process of resettlement for those who 
provided “faithful and valuable service” to U.S. efforts in the wars and 
who might face “ongoing serious threats” as a result of their actions.

Flawed criteria for admittance, coupled with technical difficulties many 
refugees face in the application process, have led to a dearth of visas. Of 
the possible 25,000 SIVs, only 5,500 have been issued. The program, which 
anticipated four times as many resettlements, expired at the end of fiscal 
year 2012, failing many applicants who have struggled to relocate 
themselves and their families.

Earlier this month, 19 members of the House of Representatives sent a 
letter to President Barack Obama asking him to extend the program. They 
cited problems of inefficiency, lack of transparency and discrepancies 
between the Afghan and Iraqi SIVs—22 percent of the available Iraqi SIVs 
have been approved, but only 12 percent of Afghan ones have been issued.

“Innumerable Afghans who served the U.S. Government wait in peril,” the 
letter noted, “their lives and family threatened.”

The letter, however, did not point out where much of the danger and damage 
in Iraq and Afghanistan have come from. It did not contain the number of 
refugees or internally displaced citizens, which has grown in the last 10 
years, nor did it juxtapose the $1.7 trillion cost of the war in Iraq with 
the scant $2.1 billion in aid the U.S. has spread across more than a dozen 
countries.

The gap between Bush’s words and actions should be remembered as Republican 
lawmakers such as Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan and Sen. Lindsey Graham of 
South Carolina call for intervention in Syria for the sake of liberty.
