I am posting a reference link that talks about the number of Muslim Majority Immigrants being allowed into the US during Obama's administration. This information can also be verified on the Department of Homeland Security website under Immigration. The point about this post is to make people aware that refugees being allowed into the US are not just Syrian, and the number is not just 10,000. 10,000 refugees is a relative small number in comparison to the total allowed over the years; and small compared to what other nations have allowed in. Furthermore, ISIS is not just interested in infiltrating the ranks of Syrian refugees, but they certainly are capable of infiltrating the ranks of any refugees that are coming to the US. Again, this article is only about immigration from Muslim countries, not all immigration that is coming to the US. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/muslim-immigrant-green-card-obama/2016/06/17/id/734434/.
Note: This post has been edited to show Muslim Majority Immigrants so that it is not misleading in any way to claim all or only Muslim immigrants are coming from these countries.

@aldnazmeister: I am either hallucinating, or the graph you presented, says, on the bottom: Department of Homeland Security Yearbook Immigration Statistics.
Didn't you post that slide? Again, here's what I said "I copied it from the graph that you posted." and that's exactly what I did. I copied it into my Chrome browser, and Googled linked me to the actual URI, which I shortened using bit.ly
Hmm, so I am not allowed to post a story, without reason other than I want to; I have to have an agenda or purpose other than posting?
Sure you're allowed. I was just asking a question. Are yous saying that I have an agenda behind my question? Just like you, I am allowed to ask a question, without anyone assuming anything.
So does that mean you are yet attacking someone on the simple principle of freedom of speech?
It's interesting that you see comments as attacks, but that would explain a lot, wouldn't it?
Yes I posted that graph; and yes it does say on the bottom Department of Homeland Security Yearbook Immigration Statistics. However, like you said, you copied and pasted that into your browser. 👏 I applaud you sir, that you have that capability. If I click on the graph and move my mouse, the graph tries to move. Therefore, I do not have the capability of copying and pasting into my browser. However, I could certainly search it should I want to. Yet again you attack me. My comment below admitted that I did not see another link in my story. Oh no, that is not good enough for you; you must try to prove otherwise, which you didn't, because it is not a link.
Good to know that I am allowed to post what I like. Yes, you are allowed to ask questions; yet it seems like it would then be an orphan question if there was no agenda behind it.
So I ask a question as to whether you are attacking my freedom of speech, and you retort with why do comments or questions have to be attacks. Answer: There would be no need for invalid and fruitless questions, if there was no intent behind them, if they were not attacks. So yes, it does explain a lot; you feel the need to validate everything you say, comment or respond to; and will not others make posts without otherwise commenting. Do you not have better things to do with your time than troll around to people's stories just to do what you are doing? Oh wait, does that sound familiar? It should, because you said the same thing to me. Which brings me back to freedom of speech is a two-way street, like it or not.
There would be no need for invalid and fruitless questions, if there was no intent behind them, if they were not attacks.
So, you're allowed to post something, with no intent behind it, but I am not allowed to ask a question, without no intent behind it?
However, like you said, you copied and pasted that into your browser.
What exactly is your issue? I don't want to take credit for finding the link on my own. I said that I copied, NOT pasted. You posted a bitmpap. I copied the information from it, and entered it into my browser. I did not use my mouse, or keyboard to copy. I could do a screen grab, and OCR, but why would I want to do that, when I could simply copy (as in use what someone else wrote), and then enter it in my own browser? How difficult is that to grasp?
Do you not have better things to do with your time than troll around to people's stories just to do what you are doing?
@Northwest: Oh yes you are allowed, but my perception tells me otherwise that there was motive behind the question; even if it was to debate more.
Okay, again, not a link; thanks for clarifying that. Why could you not let it go? You were not taking credit for something that was already there, when there was no link. I misunderstood your comment about copying and pasting into the browser; especially when you reference the bottom of the graph. It would have saved a lot of time if you said that you copied the graph and entered it into your browser. Question: How does one copy something and enter it into a browser, yet that is not pasting?
Lol, oh thee that cast the first stone the other day, about trolling. This is my thread and story that you have been commenting on. Was there not better things for you to do than comment on a story that was accurate and true? Sure, you provided more information for readers, should they choose to do the research, but why when they could have done that anyway?
Interesting, this was covered EXACTLY as many times by you, as it was by me, and mine were responses to yours. So, if you ask me to let it go, why didn't you heed your own advice?
Question: How does one copy something and enter it into a browser, yet that is not pasting?
You have two screens. On one screen, you have the original, and on the second screen, you're copying from the first screen. You want me to draw a picture? Or do you want to post the Mozilla Browser copy and paste source code?
Copy: noun
a thing made to be similar or identical to another.
Copy: verb
make a similar or identical version of; reproduce.
Your obsession with using a mouse if fascinating.
This is my thread and story that you have been commenting on. Was there not better things for you to do than comment on a story that was accurate and true?
Yes, you're right. It is your thread. I asked you if you wanted me to start another thread, and you said no, or if you wanted to delete my posts. I guess what you're saying is this: you want freedom of speech to work only for you, but if I used my freedom of speech to comment, then I am a troll. Is this what you think of yourself, when you comment in a thread? If not, then why do you want to apply a standard to me, that you do not apply to yourself?
@Northwest: I do not need to heed my own advice when you started it, and I too am just responding to you.
Your obsession with using a mouse if fascinating.
Did you mean "is" fascinating. Mouse, cursor; either way, that is how I get to copy something, I move my cursor there somehow. Duh. So you may be more technical than I am, and are capable of doing things that come easily to you, but that does not mean they come easy to everyone else. I appreciate you defining the words copy, but you did not define paste or enter. I personally use one screen at a time, but if I copy something, I typically paste it into another browser window.
I am not using a double standard here. I am merely pointing out the fact that you called me a troll the other day. Interesting that I am not allowed to think that about you, after you thought that about me. Btw, I do not consider myself a troll just because I comment on someone's post. However, it seems that you take delight in continually commenting, as if you have all the time in the world. Sure, you will fire back at me, saying that this also applies to me, but that only validates my point; why even say it? Rhetorical
The point about facetious comments, if that they are not that funny the second time around. Come up with something original.
You could also use your keyboard, and cursor, move to a spot, use shift/CTRL, and then CTRL-C to copy and CTRL-V to paste.
BTW, you are the one who used PASTE, not me, and this is the second time I tell you that. All Is said was that I copied. You chose, based on your limited view of the world, to define it, the way you know it. That's the problem with making assumptions, and thinking they are a substitute for reality.
If I called you troll, then it's in a different thread, and with a different context. Good to know, that you're still fighting that battle, and you're not wasting your time on trivial stuff.
However, it seems that you take delight in continually commenting, as if you have all the time in the world.
Says the guy, who commented on every SINGLE post I made.
@Northwest: I was not trying to be facetious; I was merely pointing out what you wrote, and asked for clarification, but that must have been what you meant. No, I did not make assumptions, but yes, I used the word paste. You said that you copied, and then entered into your browser. I happened to have asked you about that already, as I am curious how something is copied and entered, if it also not considered pasted. Lol, yes, we are both fighting the good fight. 👍🏼 Btw, I have not commented on every single post that you have made, but merely responded to your comments which also had questions. I define posts as more than comments or replies; you have stories (posts) to which I have not commented on.
@aldnazmeister: no, you have not commented on every single post I ever made. I meant that, in the conversation where you accuse me of wasting my time, posting, you had the same number of posts or more. It amuses me that you throw accusations around, for the same behavior you engage in.
