Should We Accept Syrian Refugees?

Everywhere I turn the talk is about the Syrian refugees and why we should take them or why we shouldn't. What I'm not hearing is much common sense or Christian charity. Why all the idiocy about the refugee crisis? I'm talking about the stupidity and lack of common sense by those who want to throw open our borders and those who want to refuse entry to all refugees. On the one hand, Christian charity demands that we welcome the stranger and give solace to the homeless where we are able. We are the richest and most prosperous and bountiful country in history. We can, and should make room for the homeless and those displaced by war-especially as our own involvement in the Middle East has contributed to the mess. We have meddled in the countries of the Middle East-in their politics, their economics, their wars and their military coups. We've propped and then toppled their dictators. We've invaded their countries and bombed their people. Of course we should take in their homeless refugees. On the other hand, when you see the hordes of fit young men streaming across the European borders you can't help but suspect that these are not refugees but an invading army. Should we open the borders to just anyone? Of course not. Why can't anyone use common sense? The clear answer is that we are a Christian country. We should accept as many Christian refugees as possible. By accepting only Christian refugees we guarantee that Islamic extremists are not sneaking in.

These people are NOT refugees , they are an army of invaders who want to kill and destroy in the name of the false god.

It isn’t charitable to bring in invaders who want to kill your family , it is stupidity.

No!

Because we already know the questions Obama won’t allow to be asked, based on the Sheryl Atkinson story:

“Are you a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? What school of Islamic law do you follow? Where do you go to mosque? Do you believe someone who insults Islam deserves to be killed? Would you like to make America an Islamic country? All of these questions -the most important ones - are off-limits,” Reaboi said.

Even if there is no terrorism.

How much 3rd world culture do we want in America?

And WHEN are we going to start putting Americans FIRST??? Every single one of these foreigners is taking bread from th mouths of our own people, 90 MILLION of which are unemployed. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I remember when Compassion was defined by my liberal mainstream church as collecting money to build a well in the Third World. Now my liberal leftie church wants to bring the Third World here and give them food stamps, welfare, housing and a free college education plus preference in hiring, while I have to pay for it.

Only obama and public skook kids think the US is a country with open border, no discernable language and multi-cultural values.

Someone tell Obama he is wrong.

Here’s another excellent article, perhaps worthy of its own thread, which asks “What would Saint Thomas Aquinas say about the Refugee Crisis?” the money quote is:

“Remember the Good Samaritan! He did not take the roadside victim home with him. Rather, the Good Samaritan put the victim up in a hotel and paid for him to get better. The Good Samaritan was good and commended by Christ. The Good Samaritan did the right thing: humanitarian aid.”

None of them should be allowed into the United States. Muslims do not assimilate as every other people we have admitted in the past have done. Their so called “Religion” which is NOT a religion at all, but a political clap-trap with the objective of world domination, is not compatible with the United States Constitution. There must be NO SHARIA LAW. There must be NO Radical IMAMS Preaching to the young, The scourge of islam must be sent back to where it came from. Only then will this country be safe. Let them breed themselves into obscurity in their own cesspool.
