My home state is still accepting refugees. Out of the 50 states 7 or still officially taking refugees as far as my understanding goes. Others still have yet to comment. Pennsylvania, Vermont, California, Washington, Colorado, Delaware and Connecticut. I'll come back and update all this when I get some time.
I don't care if it's politically correct or immoral. Keep the damn refugees out of the US. I care about my families safety not some other country. I care less if they stayed in Syria and all died.
I say keep them out, we have enough of our own problems and don't need these ISIS Muslims mothers infected our country. Ta Fudge is Shia law? No one cares.. U.S.A! Freedom... Constitution... Freedom!! If we did allow them in a good way to do it would rally them all in one state and allow none of them to leave until they go back where they came from, of course this costs too much money so it won't happen.
Bunch of cowards. The US has accepted 750000 refugees since 9/11. Only 2 have been connected to terorrism and were apprehended for it. We are a country built upon granting asylum and we have screening processes that any refugee has to go through. Id rather welcome them with open arms then give in to terror tactics of ISIS. You guys can cower in fear and hide yourselves from the world. Wont change a thing. Also good thing States have no basis in where refugees get put because that is a Federal call. The most States can do is not fund them and be douchy about it. Best part is many of you are children or descendants of refugees. :lol: I just can't believe how easily so many of you are willing to change as they would have you do so. I personally know refugees, am descended from refugees on one side of my family and have been in the homes of many refugees and eaten beside them. One of my best friends is Russian and was actually enrolled in their military school as a child and he's here with his entire family. I've talked the Afghanians and sat in their house and heard of the horror stories and what they had to do to get here. I won't turn my back on anyone seeking refuge, especially not in fear.
Calling us cowards? Instead of running stand up and fight. I can guarantee if the same thing was going on in the U.S. no one would be crying to another country for help.
Pretty sure when them terrorists slip through the refugee lines they are not going to give a crap that you came here as a refuge. At that point you become another statistic. One question. How is it we have to care for refugees overseas but can't or won't care for thousands of disabled veterans and homeless people on our own shores? Point is. Clean your own house before you invite people over.
People saying close the borders to all refugees to prevent terrorism are the same people fighting to the death against gun laws to prevent shootings. The irony is delicious
Nope we are talking the refugees. Anyone who doesn't like it can deal with it. I suggest some anger management or fear management classes. It's a matter of principle and ideals from the people from which I come. The way I was taught to be won't be compromised from a fear for which I don't have. Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Enlightenment, The Great Awakening, Anti-Slavery, Ben Franklin, William Penn, The Quakers, Liberty and Freedom. Even if we haven't and they haven't always upheld to this very high standard we have set for ourselves we can't stop trying to achieve the envisioned reality. It hasn't always been pretty, but this is the fundamentals set forth for us to follow. Politics can take a backseat. "When your are good to others, you are best to yourself." "Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight." ✌️
Lol . Obama state dept and homeland security cant even vet nadal hassain much less any refugee from syria. Better safe than sorry . Keep them out. Its in humane to let these idiots in. They cant be verified by any inteligence operation. Let them deal in a safezone. Rather have safe americans . Let them move to dmc house he has open door policy. Guess dmc agrees hopefully a few more blow stuff up so they can release 5 more from gitmo. Dmc should house them
You guys realize that all this freaking out over ISIS is basically the same as free advertising. I mean, I assume there's no extremists who play this game but you can never be too careful. :? Sorry, if I sound rude but if we never gave them all this attention they would never have grown to what they are now.
After the "zombie" thread, here comes the "vampire" thread. Sure you care about your homeland security. By blocking the entry of refugees, yes you can minimize the threat. But you can not live in fear, just because your neighbor looks different and is acting strange. By saying this: "I dont care about the lives of the refugees, the life of my family is more important." Congratulations, you are encouraging the refugees to join the terrorists. We must not reason out of fear, but examine the big impact and consequences of an action.
So heres my take on the situation. Here in america we have thousands of wounded and homeless veterans. Wanna know who did that to them? The people we are expected to accept with open arms. I know they arent all bad. But they would surely send 100's of terrorists with them. Its an obvious and simple task. So here we have the people without a home who fought for YOUR freedom. For YOUR family. For your right to do as you please. And now we are accepting muslims and giving them shelter, and yet our veterans get none. All you in favor of it. How will you feel when the hidden terrost turn the gun on you. How will you feel when you hear your kids, parents' friends have been shot in cold blood and killed. But no here we are pointing and laughing at the homeless veterans who fought and gave up almost everything to allow those killings to happen. They fought for the freedom to be able to accept them. I feel sickened to even be in the country of the people who wanna accept the muslims. Yall are horrible, vile people. Lets see how much you favor the refugees when your family members head show up on your front door step. Its disgusting. So to some it up, our priority shouldn't be helping aid terrorist kill people, but finding homes and shelter for the people who fought for EVERYTHING you have today.
Let me emphasize again: YOU CAN NOT LIVE IN FEAR. Find solutions that would benefit everyone. Btw, Lobby for the welfare of your veterans.
Veterans? You know sometimes people serve in the armed forces and yet still sink in society. That is how it is setup. Just like with Syrian refugees, some will sink and some will swim. Those who sunk will be in jails/prisons, dead, drug addicted, mental disordered, and disenfranished. Just like any other person from any group America. People are quiet confident in the vetting process in some places. We are talking about a 2 year process that isn't being taken lightly by locals. I'm not talking about migrants, but actual refugees. If you don't have trust in your local leadership or state level leadership to handle this situation I guess it now the time to ask yourself why.
What would benefit refugees is taking up arms against terrorist and actully HELPING america solve their problems. Theres a thought lol
I know they dont have as many resources, but america could provide them with the resources, but no they choose to run and hide, making a terrorists job much easier
We shouldn't be providing arms to anyone. The anti-refugee arguments don't even make sense to me. This issue isn't the same issue as the European issue. The bottom line is you are going to have to deal with it. Just makes sure you aren't committing violence towards any refugees and you will be okay. Respect will be maintained, like it or not.
The refugees have no homes. The refugees are mainly women and children. And here you are saying they should go back and fight. Go back to what? Our nation bombed their homes to hit terrorists while the terrorists threatened their every move as well. Most of the people fighting ISIS are people from the Middle East. Those fleeing have nothing to survive on. Can't get weapons to fight. Can't even get food to survive. You are completely ignorant to global happenings if you think people are coming here as anything else but a last resort.
The woman and children, yes i 100% completely agree, i am not against giving refuge to those in dire need. I feel as though able men should to some degree feel liable to help in some small, little way. I OBVIOSULY did not mean woman and children should take up arms. Maybe the men could help send supplies or something. My bottom line again isn't against allowing woman and children refuge. Its us prioritizing helping them over vets. I feel as though we shouldn't be accepting so many at one time. Something is GOING to happen. Whether you like it or not. Be it a random terrorist shooting, or as extreme as a large bomb. Thorough background checks should be applied to EVERY single refugee, man, woman, or child. America isnt as big as yall believe it to be. Soon we will be over crowded. Population growth is a very real threat. The sooner you people understand that the better i believe this world will be. Dont let them stay to die in their bomb stricken country, but let us sort out our own problems then accept them in small quantities. There are many countries who can do this and soon enough there would be no more homeless refugees.
