WORST IDEA EVER : Bill Clinton Suggests Rebuilding Detroit with Syrian Refugees
In a previously little-noticed video from February at the Clinton Global Initiative, former President Bill Clinton suggested that the U.S. use Syrian refugees to rebuild Detroit.
“The truth is that the big loser in this over the long run is going to be Syria. This is an enormous opportunity for Americans,” Bill Clinton said about the Syrian migrant crisis.
Detroit has 10,000 empty, structurally sound houses—10,000. And lot of jobs to be had repairing those houses. Detroit just came out of bankruptcy and the mayor’s trying to do an innovative sort of urban homesteading program there. But it just gives you an example of what could be done. And I think any of us who have ever had any personal experience with either Syrian Americans or Syrian refugees think it’s a pretty good deal.
It is unclear from the video why Clinton seems to think it would be better to fill these Detroit jobs with imported foreign migrants rather than unemployed Americans already living there, who could perhaps benefit from good-paying jobs.
In the video, Clinton discusses the migrant crisis with billionaire and mass migration enthusiast Hamdi Ulukaya of the Chobani yogurt empire.
Ulukaya has become a figure of controversy for his decision to fill his yogurt plants with foreign refugees rather than unemployed Americans. At the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year, Ulukaya encouraged other global elites to follow his lead.
The unearthed video seems to underscore Donald Trump’s recent declaration that, “Hillary Clinton would rather provide a job to a refugee from overseas than to give that job to unemployed African-American youth in cities like Detroit who have become refugees in their own country.”
Hillary Clinton has called for a 550 percent expansion to the importation of Syrian refugees. Based on the minimum figures she has put forth thus far, a President Hillary Clinton could potentially import a population of refugees (620,000) that nearly equals thepopulation of Detroit (677,116).
Trump has previously explained that, “for the amount of money Hillary Clinton would like to spend on refugees, we could rebuild every inner city in America.” According to a September 2015 Rasmussen survey, 85 percent black voters oppose Clinton’s refugee agenda to admit more than 100,000 Middle Eastern refugees—with less than one percent of black voters (.56 percent) in favor of her refugee plan.
Yet during the Clinton Global Initiative discussion, Bill Clinton seemed to suggest that the U.S. ought to accept more Syrian refugees—on top of the tens of thousands of refugees the U.S. already admits annually from other nations across the globe. In particular, Clinton praised Turkey for having taken in 2 million Syrian refugees.
“Turkey, as you probably know, has by far the largest number of Syrian refugees—there are more than 2 million there,” Clinton said.
“The Turks have done a really admirable job of taking in all these refugees,” Clinton said later in his remarks.
“In the last two years, 24 percent of all the new businesses started in Turkey were started by Syrian refugees. I mean, these people are incredibly gifted and very hard working,” Clinton added.
Clinton did not mention the fact that, in the United States, 91.4 percent of recent refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps, and 68.3 percent are on cash welfare, according to data from the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the Department of Health and Human Services.

Let’s rebuild Clinton’s neighborhood with Syrian refugees. Let’s tear down the Damn fences around their homes, disarm their security protection, and turn their income over to the refugees and tell the criminal Clintons. To go pound sand.
Like your idea!!!
Bravo!
Clinton is fucking nuts–Thats all we need Look what is happening in Germany
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM? Get off the drugs, Bob.
Has anyone asked how Detroit feels about this. That is all that city needs more welfare recipients. This country is going to hell in a hand basket.
The Democrats idea of stimulating the economy is to get more people on welfare entitlements. People that get free money spend it.
In one hand we have Trump who says “America and American First”, in other hand, we have Hillary who said she will put Bill in charge of the “economy”—–and Bill wants to put the refugees to work, instead of Americans!!!!!!!!! The sad part : there are people who are going to vote for her!!!
Then, they call Trump’s supporters “uneducated and uninformed”!!!!
Bill Clinton is proving he’s in league with Obama. Fill American streets with Muslims so they can take eventually take over America and enforce Sharia Law. They need to be shipped back to Syria immediately before they do exactly what Obama wants them to do… bring the U.S.A. down to a 3rd world country, and there is fighting and suicide bombings everyday of the week from Islamic terrorists…. and the raping of our daughters in the streets by Muslims. This is what Sharia Law allows.
America First. End of conversation. We, The People, have spoken. The dysfunctional politicians better start to listen, or else they will be out.
If by “out” you mean being let down slowly on the end of a one-inch hemp rope and dangling four inches from ground, yep, I’m all for it.
Now, now people, actually that’s not a bad idea, see we can use the “refugees” to build a Wall encompassing the worst sections of Detroit, then install the Clintons, Ovomit, their families, friends and associates, plus every single career criminal sitting in office and any retired guilty of Treason, Abuse of Power, Theft, and Anything Else We The People find them Guilty of, to live out the rest of their days, and then ship the “Refugees” right back to the shit hole they came from!
Bill Clinton, world class scholar or world class A-hole?
Why bother rebuilding it? Leave it as it is, it will seem like home. It’s not like they’re going to work anyway. Why should they, when the Gov is so generous with our money? Spend the money on an electric fence surrounding the entire city. Because anyone who agrees with such an asinine idea, deserves to be locked in there with them…including the politicians who brainstormed and go along with such an idea.
Clintons are just for them self if Hillary wins America is vulnerable to all countries who hate us which is about all of them we need someone like trump to make them think twice before messing with the us
HILLARY = OBAMA = FRAUD
#FANNIEGATE
Is there not a real Christian left among you? I can’t believe Trump’s ignorance spreads like a disease so quickly. It’s no longer about ‘facts’ in this campaign/ country, you all just want to ‘feel’. Because it’s so fun to hate, right?
Have fun with that.
This is only ONE OF MANY of Trump’s lies. He is a spoiled 13 year old boy that doesn’t give two shits about the needy – or you and your family.
Trump’s False Claim: Clinton Will Bring In 620,000 Syrian Refugees
TRUMP: “This includes [Hillary Clinton’s] plan to bring in 620,000 new refugees from Syria and that region over a short period of time.”
Washington Post’s Fact Checker: “This figure stems from the unverified assumption that Clinton, who has called for 55,000 additional refugees from Syria, would continue at that pace for every year of her first term, on top of the Obama administration’s proposal for 100,000 refugees for fiscal year 2017. The committee then multiples 155,000 times four years to reach 620,000 refugees. Clinton has never proposed such a ‘plan,’ so this is an invented figure. Clinton only has proposed an increase of 55,000 refugees for one year.” [Fact Checker, Washington Post, 8/16/16]
Ummm, sippy (if that is in-fact your real name…), Let’s take you number of 55,000, even though the number has changed a number of times over the last couple years. Next, lets use the State Departments and CIA’s number of 7% of Syrians wanting us (ALL of us – everyone that isn’t THEM) DEAD. Then, lets remember that because they are refugees and have no personal belongings, and the Syrian consulate is under ISIS control – there is absolutely NO WAY to determine who these people are, where they came from, or what their criminal past is. So, what you’re are recommending, in the name of decency and the Christian way – is that we bring 3,850 (7% of 55,000) terrorists into this country, let them loose and give them the freedom we take for granted – and the freedom to kill as many innocent people as they can before they decide to martyr themselves. Either you’re an idiot sippy, or you haven’t had a chance to think this thing through….
Parent’s named me after Sippie Wallace not that it matters what my name is. The only people that ever scared or hurt me and my family are American-born ignorant white men with penises and guns. Our bible is filled with just as much, if not more horrible decrees – murder, evisceration, rape, stoning, dragging – of ‘heathens’ or women or children. I bet the Syrians are terrified of us as well.
There are bad people everywhere, every race and color and religion. People hate when that is all they are shown.
sippy is an ass hole socialist !!!!
I grew up military, so yes I am. The US military is the greatest socialist organization in the world.
And ‘asshole’ is one word.
I agree with the people who said put our Americans to work, rebuild, lift themselves out of poverty. The unemployed, or underemployed, citizens of Detroit should by common sense have first shot at jobs to work. And I believe Donald Trump would agree, too.
Help bring peace to Syria! As Im sure the Syrian people would much rather rebuild their own country, rather than Detroit.
I couldn’t agree more, though I am afraid it won’t happen in time to save these poor innocent families.
George Soros must have whispered that in his ear.
How about getting the Syrian refugees to build the wall on the Mexican border for no wages? Our current corrupt government leaders are going to provide housing, food, health care anyway – they might as well get them to work for it!
