[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother lived in a refugee camp for her first 5+ years.  When it was clear her home country was not stabilized/safe, she was properly processed with her family into the US for which we are ever grateful. [b] I am not sure why people think the situation in Syria cannot be turned around and people go home to their farms and businesses[/b].  [b]Camps can be orderly, well run places with grocery stores, community events, schools, etc[/b]. Is it ideal? No. Should it be permanent like the Burmese in Thailand? No. But most of these people are economic refugees, much like the illegal immigrants who come to the US for economic purposes.  Pakistanis, Afghans, etc. unless they are fleeing a specific threat--ie they are from a minority religious group being targeted--should stay and invest in the countries. People from true conflict zones should be in protected no-fly camps until they can return home and rebuild.  The true travesty is that the refugee camps for Syrians appear to be far safer/more stable than the UN "protected' camps in Africa. Why not opening homes to South Sudanese etc? 
The solution is not open borders. It is safe haven camps that are truly protected, and political and economic and military investment in stabilizing the regions so people can return home to their cultures, communities and livlihoods.[/quote]
Do you think the Syrian refugee camps are like this?  They are not.  Plus, they don't see the Syrian conflict getting resolved anytime soon.  All you have to do is read the news.  You cannot be this naive.  ISIS is all over Syria.

There are UN soldiers who have raped women and children in refugee camps.  Those camps are not safe.  You are very naive.

So, you think they should wait it out in the camps?  If I were in their shoes, especially with young kids, I wouldn't wait it out.  I would want a chance for my kids.

Your mother lived in a refugee camp and then immigrated to the US, but you are saying these people shouldn't be able to immigrate like your mother did.  Why not?  [/quote]

Yes, the PP whose mother spent years in a refugee camp is just incomprehensibly more
naive than you, O Wise One  :roll: [/quote]

NP, That poster doesn't want the new refugees to get what her mom received. That poster is basically saying, "my family got in, let's pull the ladder up and prevent all others from entering". I agree, she is not naïve. She is far more sinister than that. [/quote]
