People granted refugee and asylee status are not guests. They are on the path to being Americans. And they make pretty great Americans. Like Albert Einstein and Sergey Brin. Home grown American terrorists are being radicalized by Isis too a and the type of rhetoric that you spout is why. And not just Muslims, white teenagers from Oklahoma. Black servicemen. I want the media to report the truth but I feel a moral obligation to counteract the half truths that people like you spew to promote fear. Since 2001 more than 780,000 refugees have come to our county from horrible conditions that a privledged American like you cannot even fathom. We have offered a new life and new hope for 780,000 people. And a tiny fraction of those choices turned out to be bad. Three people out of 780k arrested on suspicion and not a single incident. But you would say that those three people mean that we turn our backs to everyone in need. It just disgusts me and I can't help but respond to every ignorant hateful person that throws out a misleading out of context statement designed to make us fear the people who truly know what fear is in a way you, as an American will never have to know. |
| Is assimilation important for success? |
According to the official STATE DEPARTMENT data, it was only around 200 since 2012. |
Tell me: What difference to America's "poor African Americans, hardworking Latinos and homeless veterans" and other suffering Americans would it make if we didn't take refugees in? The right wing would only continue to piss on them anyhow. |

They are guests and enjoying the benefits of living in the USA. I'm using guest not as guest worker but as a term for a person who is not a citizen. I'm not addressing all refugees or holders of visas but am expressing a sense of disgust that people are abusing our system. You are defending these ISIS supporters. Supporters of ISIS could leave the USA. |
Should leave America, as in, escorted out. |
Maybe we should have done the same for your own immigrant ancestors. |
Np. If your ancestors were antagonistic towards Americans, they were likely sent home. |
Like they are pissing on Ben Carson, Marco Rubio and John McCain? I'm pretty sure the right wing wants to do right by poor AAs hardworking Latinos and veterans, so they can all have opportunities. How's that Rahm Emmanuel working out for the poor AAs in Chicago btw? |
| The article on the water in Flynt Michigan in today's Post made me so sad. I am so ready to spend money on America's infrastructure (including schools and health) for American citizens. |
I actually believe this statement. Heck, the best, fastest, and easiest way to get a terrorist into the US is through Mexico not the visa or refugee program. Just walk across the border. |
Incorrect accordingly to the Department of Health and Human Services website. We took in 60,000 refugees in 2013 alone - with 19,000 being from Iraq. http://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/table14d_5.xls |
+1,000,000 |
Are you the same poster who screams about Obama taking money out of your pocket. Exactly which one of your described groups do you really care about. Do you also lament that your schools have too many FARMS or ESOLs and money should not be spent on them, yet you don't want your kids in the same school? Other than your church, how much money or time do you spend helping these people you now purport to care about? |
Crap, if we had not blasted their infrastructure in the name of Halliburton, there would be no need for 19,000 Iraqi refugees. You break it, you own it. |
