Can't we all admit it's a grey area? It's not black and white. One side is trying to depict many of us as unfeeling monsters. 
But the grey area is that we don't know certainly that all we are bringing in to the west are OK. All but a few are in need of help. I feel for them. If it were black and white, I'd say bring as many as we can. 
Many Americans want to protect what we have. Let's help them get re-settled, but not inside US borders. [/quote]

We have this same conversation over and over. The US has helped create the refugee problem by supplying weapons to those involved in fighting and participating in the fighting itself. [i]Therefore, we have a moral obligation to help resolve it.[/i] We cannot expect other countries to accept refugees if we refuse. That is the price of leadership and the price of our foreign wars. The refugees that we are considering brining to the US have been in camps for years. There are plenty of them, allowing us to select only those who can be vetted.

No ISIS terrorist is going to sit around in a camp for years hoping to be selected to come to the US. The go to Europe because it does not require waiting in a camp. Comparing the situation in Europe to the situation in the US is apples and oranges.

You can claim not to see things in black and white as many times as you wish, but if your only solution is to not accept refugees, that is a black and white solution. There are plenty of compromise between no refugees and open doors.

No, we do not have a moral obligation to sacrifice our own citizens to help others. We simply don't. [b]I find it interesting that the Nazarene Fund has had tremendous success resettling Christian refugees, who have not caused one ounce of trouble in the areas where they are resettled, yet there are many documented issues with Muslim refugees.[/b] [/quote]
volume, pure and simple.  How many Christian refugees are there vs. how many Muslim ones, and not just from Syria.  A couple of hundred vs (by some estimates) reaching a  million.   The fund has about $10mil.  That's a lot of money per refugee.

Also, in the midst of all the refugees from the ME, there are mixed in there true economic migrants from places like Pakistan.

I find it interesting that you mention Christian and refugee in the same sentence, too.  You know part of Christian teachings is to help people in need, and not just those that have the same faith or color of skin that you do.[/quote]

10 million raised by private citizens and every dollar being put to good use. Vetting folks, negotiating with foreign governments. See how private charity works?  While our government focuses only on Muslims, and ignore Christians, private individuals are stepping up and moving mountains for Christians. And doing it 10x better than government does.

If you believe every one of those Muslims are true refugees and not mixed with opportunists and terrorists, I have a bridge to sell you.[/quote]
