What refugees receive once in the USA

[Tom Paris]

You mean like the English, the Scots, the Germans. the Italians and the Poles who moved here decades ago?

Holy Hell. You don't see a difference in the world then and now? Nice try though. I changed my mind. Poor effort on your part.

I believe the FACTS support that refugees are not the issue with terrorism...The issue lies more with foreign illegals who use "work visas" and forged passports to gain illegal entry into countries. The fact (that is often over-looked) remains that "immigrants" are carefully screened and vetted before they are allowed entry into most countries...especially the USA. I will agree that "illegal aliens" are a huge problem....especially in Europe. The issue is not that serious here in the USA.

Again...short term thinking. My concern is down the road.

Tom...that is where you and I differ. The same thing was said regarding the SouthEast Asian refugees Gov. Robert Ray embraced back in the 70's. That act was perhaps the most compassionate act of humanity ever expressed by the State of Iowa.

And your point is? Seems like it's the least we could do and well within our moral obligations.

Now you are just being silly . It's not any where near our moral obligation

Whose moral obligation?

How about you make it your moral obligation and just send them a check from your personal account?

No need to wrap the rest of us up in this. "Our" my a$$!

Those groups waged jihad in America? I must have missed that one.

And there is a difference between SE Asian refugees and people from the middle east. If there were 10,000 Chinese refugees we were going to take in, I would be far less hesitant. That part of the world is so effed up in the way they think, and has been for longer than I have been alive. I don't want more of the middle east in the US than there needs to be.
