I'm more concerned for the safety of my fellow American than I am for the handful of ACTUAL war refugees mixed in with all of the lying economic migrants from other countries looking for a free ride and also terrorists.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

How dare people flee a warzone only so they can have the superior economic position of having running water, which the war had deprived them of.

How dare I not give in to moral blackmail and throw the safety of the American people aside. After all, the UNITED STATES Government shouldn't put the welfare of citizens of the UNITED STATES before foreign populations, why that would just be crazy.

If I were a Syrian citizen, I would be getting the gently caress out of Dodge in a heartbeat. From our perspective, dealing with a massive number of refugees from another country and culture is fraught with problems, but leaving is absolutely a rational thing to do on the individual level over there so I find it hard to say that we should just close our doors.

Ah but you see, us libturds are less likely to be armed, and as Lord Newt of the Moon said, the guns would have held them off. You should invite in as many Syrians as possible, so they can do a terrorism and make liberals suffer. Then you can laugh at them, experiencing the profound pleasure of POWER

once i think when i was paging through generation after generation of random european nobility on wikipedia i ran into some guy whose claim to fame was getting owned so hard in an exchange of public letters, i think it was with voltaire, that he basically fled from polite society and retreated into seclusion

in other words, in a proto-forum/twitter where rich people sent endless copies of famous peoples' correspondence around and what you tried to do was say something interesting and get in on the most famous conversations, some guy made a really bad post and was subjected to withering public embarrassment

i dunno it was interesting how things change yet also stay the same

my other interesting items gained from that research i can recall at this moment were 1) there were an absolute shitload of bastard kids and entire noble families formed from bastard lineages in the late middle ages and early modern era, decreasing as time went on and 2) during the reformation a lot of the big noble clans had members who were catholic, lutheran, or calvinist (not so much anabaptist i dont think) and they tended to keep in contact and form an inter-religious dialogue

I submit we should accept all refugees, as long as all the military-aged males immediately enlist in the military for the incoming invasion of ISIS to fight on the front lines for freedom. The women can work in the factories of Detroit, Baltimore etc riveting planes and bombs for the war effort. Make America Great Again. Carson 2016.

the ENTIRE PROBLEM with immigration, illegals, refugees etc is that we are not making them Americans. They all need to speak english, love America, get combat experience killing fellow Muslims, become Bud Light alcoholics, and vote Republican. Problem Solved.

maybe the refugees should get an Obama TV with one channel, Fox News, that'll assimilate them fast

I simply love America and hate nobody, including illegals, that's why I am voting Ben Carson 2016. He's the only candidate who grew up poor but will die rich. He thanks America for his life story, not some magic secret Uncle Tom/Jesus racist poo poo

holy poo poo, this will guarantee a Republican wins the whitehouse in November, and only one guy has spoken out already about Independence Day being the proper model for American leadership..
