Did you see the additional article about the ISIS sympathizer killed before he could detonate a bomb in Canada?

How is that relevant? Canada has a very open immigration policy, period, but they appear to have less violence than our country period.

It's very relevant, given ISIS has stated they would do just this and are succeeding.

Interesting column by Noonan--explaining how everyday people see decisions differently from the elites. Bottom line: it is the everyday/poor people who are most affected by the hospitality of the elite. For example, it is not the elite who were attacked in Cologne by migrants who saw unveiled women as "asking for it'........

I didn't know that about mateen'e wife. Would you mind linking a source. (Interested in the story, not calling you out.)

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.

Did the refugee camps her mom was in include people who are avowed terrorists? German intelligence has revealed that ISIS has infiltrated in the refugee migration. You don't have any concerns about this?

So you take in a family with a father and son and expect them not to act like single men when they are coming from a patriarchal society hmm

That's the point. They I've w backward culture that isn't compatible with liberalized western values

This is such BS and I am really tired of seeing it repeated ad nauseam. Are you suggesting that Khizr Khan has a backward culture that isn't compatible with liberalized western values?

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.

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?

Yes, the PP whose mother spent years in a refugee camp is just incomprehensibly more
naive than you, O Wise One
