And yes, it does sound like you feel it is our responsibility to take in refugees, even if it results in situations like what's occurring in Germany and Sweden. You don't mind a few dead Americans and raped/molested women and children - collateral damage.

Certainly we have a responsibility to take in refugees. Leadership requires taking responsibility. I assume those of you who want America to be "great" understand that greatness requires leadership? America cannot be great if it hides behind walls and refuses to engage the rest of the world. If America refuses to share burdens that result from its own leadership, it cannot be great and it cannot be a leader.

Of course I would mind any negative impact of the refugees on the US and I support a process aimed at reducing the risk of such impact as much as possible. I am not naive, however, and recognize that nothing in life is without risk. Similarly, I recognize that there is also risk in not accepting refugees. Opponents of refugees seem unable to recognize that side of the coin.

If you are concerned about dead Americans and raped/molested women and children, there are a number of actions that can be taken with more significant results than opposing refugees. Sadly, I don't think those are your real concerns.
