[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have some empathy that you or your family members could be in that situation and you'd want someone to help you?  Our  "homeless" and vets are far better taken care of than most.  Our poor get food stamps and benefits - its the working that really need the help as they do not make enough to live on but too much for benefits.  Yes, we need to do more to help in the US but that would mean major government overhauls to accomplish it and  no one is willing to put the time or money into doing it properly.  I'm all for bring some of the refugees over.[/quote]

I do have empathy for the refugees and have contributed $ to help them. Have you? I feel we can help them best by getting their country back where they can live there peacefully. If we continue to take on helping everyone but our own, the US will decline even more and then we won't be able to help anyone in the world. [/quote]

You do realize many of us were refugee's and immigrants including many of your ancestors.  Its not about donating  money.  You don't get it.  It would be great if they could stay in their country, but they cannot.  The US is declining as we are not effectively using the resources we have.  We have so much government waste and corruption... imagine if we really did some clean up how much extra we could have.  The poor get food stamps and many other programs - they are income based and eligible to everyone that meets the criteria.   My family came over running from Hitler.  Just think, if the US took more rather than turning those who needed it away, many of our family members could have lived.  But, I guess that's ok with you and I personally cannot  imagine what those people are going through.  I fully support having them here.[/quote]

My ancestors did come here and paid their own way even though they were leaving starvation and terrible times. However, the US did not pay for them one cent. They came here for one legally and waited in line and for two, they paid their own way and stayed with family or friends until they could make enough money. They would never have taken money from the US to come here. [/quote]
