The president is being warned that this could be a bad a idea as nobody knows who these people might be and some could be terrorists. We don't have the ability to screen them so, sorry, I say leave them out...
 

Com'on, you can do better than that...
 

Only single mother's and their small children should be accepted first. Wait, do they even have single mothers in Syria? Is divorce allowed? Always mothers and children first on a sinking ship.
 
The Arab Spring is looking like a long fall and winter. We cannot absorb and fix all of the world's problems. Perhaps some humanitarian help of some sort would be OK...
 
NO!
Germany is responsible for a lot of it by saying 'ALL WELCOME'.
So what do you know?
They are all coming.
Millions of them.
Once they settle there they will be able to go to any EU country they want.
U.K. here I come!
Sorry chaps, but the UK is full.

Go fill your boots in the first safe country you get to just like you are supposed to.
And it certainly is NOT either Germany OR the UK!

Anyway, the vast majority are economic migrants who are not entitled to swarm to the EU like that.
 
Come on, you must still try harder. You are really overreaching now...
 
That Trump Wall is looking better all the time :rolleyes: (it's not funny though). I'm sympathetic but afraid of the Al Qaeda video warning to the U.S. that Don M. posted in his thread.
 
I am haunted by thoughts of the Jewish refugees that were turned away by the US during WWII, and sent back to Europe to almost certain death. But I think the sheer numbers
of the Syrian refugees are overwhelming. No country can be expected to take in and absorb unlimited numbers of people. So maybe the answer is yes, but let them enter in limited
numbers. I think Germany is now realizing that they've overdone it, and will be paying the price for many years.
 
We have enough problems on our streets and on ur orders with compounding the problem...

You more or less have that Spot On Sunny.
Well said.:D
 
I think the U.S. has been quite generous in taking in "refugees". Most reports place the number of Hispanic/Latino "refugees" here at over 11 million. We have enough problems with their drug trafficking, and street gangs, without inviting the certain potential of Muslim "Jihadists" into our midst. We have been taking in Somali refugees for years, and they are settling in around Minnesota, and causing increased problems in the Minneapolis area. Dearborn, Michigan is becoming a Muslim enclave, and some neighborhoods almost reverting to Sharia Law.

The U.S. and Europe can't cure all the worlds problems...and so long as Islam continues to preach "death to all infidels", the Western world would be well advised to keep these people at arms length.
 
Enough with this feel good approach to another international crisis. These are not Jews fleeing Hitler. We don't know who they are and we shouldn't let one in...

'scuse me ralphy... haven't you been the on harping that ISIS is worse than or at least as bad as Hitler.. and we should "go get 'em".. So what exactly is your criteria for who we should give refuge to and who we should not? Is it the Muslim thing?
 
We absolutely should go get them and that might put an end to the flood of refugees...
 
These people? These people? For most of us of immigrant or working class stock, it is scant years indeed since we were referred to by established/more upwardly mobile residents as "those people." I am appalled that we seem to have learned so little. I refuse to countenance any philosophy that permits cruelty/indifference toward innocent children, using the threat of terrorism as a convenient excuse. How many terrorist babies have you met? It is this capacity for self-serving inhumanity that permitted our countries to deny entry to many Jewish refugees during the Hitler horror.
 
It's a matter of We are here... we have ours... to hell with everyone else... and certainly to hell with..

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset hates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lighting, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
 
Bring in all the immigrants you want in an orderly fashion that includes applying for LEGAL status and vetting. But NO I don't want to hold them in a camp and cut them lose. Resources are already stressed.

Too much uncontrolled immigration from any country will saturate and dilute an already stressed economy. And immigrants/refugees need to taught and trained how to fix or changes things in their own country. Fleeing or running away from problems doesn't accomplish anything.

The refugees fleeing Syria have no power to change anything! Their homes are gone, their jobs are gone, their communities are gone. So is all their fishing equipment.
