Napolitano isn’t wrong on many things, but this time....
No sane country would give unlimited power to any branch of government especially to the executive branch. The Executive branch with unlimited power to decide who immigrates to this country, how many and from where is dictatorial and tyrannical.
That being said from a practical matter we are a debtor nation thanks in large part to Obama over the past seven years and this country cannot afford to borrow the necessary billions to pay for these refugees. More importantly no one knows for sure who these refugees are and many may be terrorists. Americans do not have to be put at risk. These refugees have no government records and no databases with their backgrounds. They cannot be vetted.
We the people have no obligation to allow anyone into this country. It is up to the people through their duly elected representatives as to whether they approve of any immigration policy.
The best solution has been mentioned by candidates during the Presidential campaign. Safe zones should be set up in Iraq and Syria to protect the refugees. We can provide military, housing, medical and food assistance along with our coalition partners. A no fly zone can be established over the safe zone. After the conflict subsides the refugees can then go back home to a safe environment.
This solution makes sense and is a humanitarian.
