No refugees wanted here in RI!

Our vetting is not perfect but it is better than no screening at all. And that is why so many states and political persons, including many Democrat Governors and Congress persons are resisting Obama's hurry to please rather than take action first.

Many BOB? How is ONE considered many? New Hampshire’s Democratic governor Maggie Hassan. And the only reason she is against it is because she is running against a Republican challenger.. Sad..

You apparently are not watching the news cast that show Democrats disagreeing with the Obama plan. I saw some of this on NBC news. With 30 states disagreeing there is only one Democrat governor? That means that at least 60% of the country is now controlled by Republicans. Hard to believe that to be true.

Believe whatever pleases you. I will keep up with the news as it comes on. Did you hear that the French leader is coming over to see Obama and then go to see Putin. It was said that the purpose was to encourage Obama to be more forceful and offer greater assistance in defeating Isis. Then on to Putin with likely a similar message. Both Russia and the US do offer air coverage but maybe not enough and France is needing help. Maybe even on the ground in some circumstances, was not clear about that.

Because in 2016 Democrats are poised to take back the Senate... and certainly some of the Governorships

That could happen and if it does, we will still have a different government and we don't know how they will react to the needs of this nation. If it is Hillary under pressure, how will she react? Time will tell. If the Congress is split, it will depend on who runs the Senate as to what will get approved and moved along. Lots to wait for a wishful thinking is not a perfect way to predict. The same concerns will apply to a Republican for President. Right now there is no Republican candidate to try to applaud or laugh at. That will come in April likely. Then the real campaign begins.
 
What a bunch of fraidy cats -- those of you who are scared of refugees in need! Remember WWII when US refused to admit holoacost Jewish refugees, left them to the furer to be murdered. Hang your heads in shame -- so cowardly.

yes well we have a lot here to be embarrassed about.. Particularly in this election cycle.. I am very proud or our president though.. He is measured and calm and that makes me feel better. Imagine a president who succumbed to "knee jerk" reactions and ran around with the rest setting his hair on fire.. We have seen where that gets us..

On TV news last night saw a plane land at Glasgow airport with about 100 refugees. Our First Minister (leader of Scottish Parliament) assured us that they had done thorough security checks on all of them. They are all welcome here.
 
It's not the refugees who are the problem. It's the radicals who know how to slip into a country in the guise of refugees that's scary. That's what happened in France. Isn't it.
 
Ralphy do you really believe "the world" looks to America for leadership? Hmmm. What hyperbolic statement follows, "leader of the free world perhaps?" I don't think these comments endear America to those of us living in

other countries. If we are to work together to eradicate ISIS, such a hegemonic approach is counterproductive. We are allies after all, not satellites.
 
Unfortunately this all comes at a very bad time... That being the American election cycle... "silly season" as it has been called. Right now you have a bunch of politicians looking to get elected... or Re-elected. They desperately need to fire people up to vote for them.. SO they will say and do anything it takes.. and that includes ramping up fear and hatred.. all in hopes of being seen as "THE ONE" who can be trusted to keep America safe. They play on peoples' innermost fears and deep-seated prejudices. Very unfortunate for those poor people looking for help.

From BBC:
The UK asks the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) to identify people whom it wants to resettle away from camps because of one or more of the following factors:

  • They need specialist medical care that they cannot get locally.
  • They are women and children at risk of further harm if they are not moved.
  • They are survivors of violence and torture who need specialist support to rebuild their lives.
The process of moving to the UK can take months.
UN officials draw up lists of candidates - quite literally biographical spreadsheets that detail their lives, injuries and complex needs - and a Home Office team sits around the table with their counterparts from other agencies to work out which ones the UK can help.
 
You take care of the refugees as we do most of the fighting once the "real" war begins...
 
No BS, that's the way it has been for some time and the foreseeable future...

Don't you get the feeling some are rubbing their hands together in gleeful anticipation? Another war to watch on their televisions in their comfy recliners..

I definitely get that feeling. Liven up their boring lives.
