    Now can anyone surmise why Obama is so dead-set and eager to flood AmeRica with these immigrants, despite the security officials warning that it’s likely terrorists will infiltrate that way? Could it be he’s actually working for the terrorists and against American security? You decide how this can be explained any other way. Humanitarian gestures my foot.

    Welcome ISIS! We welcome your terrorists with open arms!
    What started in France and Germany has arrived to the USA.
