GOP Rep: Obama Letting In Syrian Refugees So They’ll Vote Democratic

In an interview last month with Houston-based talk radio host Sam Malone, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, blasted plans to bring in vetted refugees from the Syrian conflict to the U.S., doubting that they would be genuine refugees and insisting that President Obama and “Chamberlain Kerry” only want them for their votes.

Poe said that while the Obama administration “won’t take care of our veterans,” it will “open the doors to people we don’t even know.”

“It’s a political maneuver on the part of the president just to get more people in the U.S. so they’ll support the Democratic Party, I think it’s a long-term goal,” he said.
