Left-Wing Arguments for Taking Syrian “Refugees” Are Stupid

The battle of the refugees continues in Washington, DC. With 33 state governors (at the time of this writing) refusing to take in any additional refugees, Pres__ent Obama (D-ISIS) has been absolutely flipping his wig, petulantly calling his opponents names while attempting to berate the governors into reversing their decisions. The radical Left has not been negligent to back him up, either. The past couple of days have seen them advance a number of arguments against rejection of the refugees—ranging from the simply wrong to the outright laughable. I’d like to address some of these arguments below.

The most sophisticated argument they have been employing is to rely upon the powers granted to the President to grant entry to refugees under the Refugee Act of 1980. The Act, which revised provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1968 and the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, delegates to the President the power to grant entry to 10,000 refugees a year, plus additional though unspecified numbers of refugees on an emergency basis. It is unlikely that this act would survive a challenge on its substance in the courts, considering that the courts have typically a dim view of laws which grant the executive broad and ill-defined power to decide what a law means (as opposed to broad powers to merely execute the law as specifically directed by Congress when it crafted the law). Likewise, the act is unconstitutional due to its blurriness on separation of powers (and hence, rightly nullified by the states in toto). Nevertheless, this is the closest thing to a “slam dunk” that the Left can get on this issue.

BOOM, isn't that the truth!

...efforts by Ted Cruz and others to exclude Muslim refugees from entry represent a 'religious test' which is unconstitutional. Of course, we should keep in mind that the 'religious test' prohibition in the Constitution (Article VI) ..applies only to holding public office.

Another liberal myth put to rest.

Exercising common sense is a sign of “overreaction” to the left.

Today I started seeing claims that Anne Frank’s father applied to the US for asylum, and was refused. “Documents” have suddenly emerged in the last two days, after all these years. Libs are using this in their support of importing Syrian terrorists.

Here's one a liberal Facebook "friend" dropped yesterday:



I pointed out that she should take a good long look at that, and how it turned out.

Their entire culture and land was taken in less than 200 years.

ALL those demonic-rats can go straight to Hell.

Personally, I don’t want any more damn Moslems permitted into our country. Period.

We already permit 100,000 Moslems yearly.
