How can we tell where pictures are from?
Some of the ones I have seen on here can be found with their original links via google image search using “syrian refugees.”
I am pretty confident that any such photographs of refugees coming into New Orleans would be covered by local news in New Orleans as well as national networks - especially given the situation in Paris.
I believe we should stop all immigration in the U.S. until we figure things out. However, we should recognize that not all the refugees from Syria are Muslims. There are supposedly a good number of Christian refugees among them as well as many Muslims who were also being slaughtered by ISIS due to a different brand. Who can really know who/what is coming and that is why we should stop it all immediately.
The Syrian refugee crisis is bad (thanks in large part to Obama and his Arab Spring), but even Grahamnesty had it right today on one thing - the sensible thing to do would be to carve out a safe haven in Syria to house them until things get figured out. That is the only sensible temporary solution until Syria stabilizes. It is NOT sensible to import them to Western nations for a whole host of reasons.
